NEW: Beloved Conservative Commentator Appeals To Trump Admin For Help With Cancer Treatment

Scott Adams, the creator of the “Dilbert” comic strip and a beloved conservative commentator, publicly appealed to President Donald Trump for assistance with scheduling a cancer treatment in a heartbreaking social media post.

“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,” Adams, 67, posted on X.

Adams directly appealed to President Trump in order to get assistance with his ongoing treatment. “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,” he wrote.

“I am declining fast. I will ask President Trump if he can get Kaiser of Northern California to respond and schedule it for Monday. That will give me a fighting chance to stick around on this planet a little bit longer,” he continued. “It is not a cure, but it does give good results to many people.”

The appeal, posted Sunday morning, garnered over 15 million views and tens of thousands of engagements. Within hours, high-level responses followed.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was among them, as he responded asking how the administration could reach out. “The President wants to help,” the secretary wrote.

Pluvicto received FDA approval in 2022 for adults with advanced prostate cancer that has progressed after other treatments. It delivers targeted radiation to PSMA-expressing cells, a protein often overexpressed in prostate cancer, according to the American Cancer Society.

Clinical data indicates it can extend survival and reduce pain in eligible patients. Earlier this year, Adams revealed that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive metastasized prostate cancer.

“Some of you may have already guessed, and this won’t surprise you at all, but I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has,” Adams said on his Rumble channel shortly after former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with the same form of prostate cancer.

“But I’ve had it longer than he’s had it — well, longer than he’s admitted having it. So my life expectancy is… maybe this summer. I expect to be checking out from this domain sometime this summer,” he added in the gut-wrenching announcement.

Prostate cancer affects roughly 1 in 8 American men lifetime, ranking as the second-leading cause of cancer death among men after lung cancer.
