Scott Adams, creator of “Dilbert”, a comic strip, and beloved conservative commentator publicly asked President Donald Trump to help him schedule a cancer treatment. This was done in an emotional social media post.
“On Monday I will request President Trump via X to save my life. He promised to assist me in the event that I was in need. Adams, aged 67, wrote on X: “I need it.”
Adams appealed directly to President Trump to receive assistance for his treatment. Kaiser of Northern California has accepted my request to be prescribed a new FDA-approved medication called Pluvicto. “But they’ve dropped the ball on scheduling the short IV to administer the drug and I cannot seem to fix this,” he wrote.
“I am declining fast. “I am declining fast.” I’ll ask President Trump to get Kaiser from Northern California respond on Monday. “I will ask President Trump if he can get Kaiser of Northern California to respond and schedule it for Monday.” It isn’t a cure but many people have seen positive results.
Posting the appeal on Sunday morning garnered more than 15 million views, and thousands of responses. In just a few hours, top-level replies followed.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary of Health and Human Services was one. He responded to their questions by asking the Administration how it could help. The secretary responded that “the President is willing to assist”.
Scott. How do I reach you? How can I reach you?

Pluvicto was approved by the FDA in 2022 as a treatment for advanced prostate cancer among adults who have progressed despite other treatments. According to the American Cancer Society, it delivers radiation targeted to PSMA-expressing cancer cells. PSMA is a protein that’s often overexpressed by prostate cancer.
It can reduce pain and extend life expectancy in patients who are eligible. Adams announced earlier this year that he was diagnosed with aggressive metastatic prostate cancer.
Adams told that he had the same prostate cancer as Joe Biden on his Rumble Channel shortly after the former president was diagnosed.
But I’ve been with it for longer — or at least longer than what he has admitted to having. My life expectancy… is… this summer. “I expect to check out of this domain some time this summer,” the heart-wrenching statement continued.
About 1 out of 8 American men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetime. It is the second leading cause of death from cancer among men, after lung cancer.
