President Donald Trump is swooping in to deliver life-saving help to famous cartoonist Scott Adams after he was diagnosed with the same form of cancer as Joe Biden.
Scott, who famously created the comic strip Dilbert, reached out to President Trump for help as he continues to battle metastatic prostate cancer. This comes as the 68-year-old author shared a harrowing update regarding his health and asked Trump to step in and lend a helping hand.
While there are many ways to tackle cancer and the associated symptoms, Scott is requesting that Trump help him get his healthcare provider, Kaiser Permanente of Northern California, to schedule his treatment with the targeted radiotherapy drug Pluvicto.
In his post, Scott wrote, “On Monday, I will ask President Trump, via X, to help save my life. He offered to help me if I needed it. I need it. As many of you know, I have metastasized prostate cancer.”
He continued, “My healthcare provider, Kaiser of Northern California, has approved my application to receive a newly FDA-approved drug called Pluvicto. But they have dropped the ball in scheduling the brief IV to administer it and I can’t seem to fix that.”
Scott’s healthcare company, Kaiser Permanente, has also weighed in on the conversation, assuring that they are working with him to find a way to make his treatment possible. In a statement, they said their oncology team was “working closely with him on next steps in his cancer care, which are already underway.”
Pluvicto is a drug used to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and is currently in clinical trials. The drug is given to patients who have already undergone hormone therapy and chemotherapy for cancer.
According to the official Pluvicto website, data from patients who have undergone the treatment so far indicate an average survival of approximately four months, from about 11.3 months to 15.3 months.
Scott is an American cartoonist best known for his work on the comic strip Dilbert, which was first published on April 16, 1989. The famous cartoon is known for its satirical office jokes about white-collar, micromanaged work dynamics and follows the main character of Dilbert, who is an engineer.
The comic was later developed into an animated TV series, a dozen books, and even a video game. In 2013, the comic strip was published daily in 2,000 newspapers in 65 countries and 25 languages.
Dilbert was later discontinued after Scott was entangled in controversy after he referred to Black people as a “hate group” and advised white people to “get the hell away” from them during a YouTube livestream. After the remarks circulated online, Dilbert was dropped by its distributor, Andrews McMeel Syndication in 2023, as well as a number of independent newspapers.
