• Scott Adams announced he has metastatic prostate cancer, like former President Joe Biden.
• He expects to live only until this summer due to the severity of his condition.
• Both Adams and Biden have cancer that has spread to their bones, making it terminal.
• Adams expressed his respect for Biden amidst controversies surrounding both of their health announcements.
• The cartoonist discussed the pain and challenges he's experiencing daily due to his diagnosis.

Scott Adams, the creator of the "Dilbert" comic strip, revealed on Monday that he has been diagnosed with the same aggressive form of prostate cancer as former President Joe Biden. During a livestream on his YouTube show, Adams disclosed that he has "prostate cancer that has also spread to my bones," and shared his expectation of not surviving past this summer due to the disease's severity, saying, "I expect to be checking out from this domain sometime this summer," according to Los Angeles Times and India Times.

The announcement came on the heels of Biden's own diagnosis, which was shared just a day earlier. Adams echoed concerns regarding the brutality of prostate cancer, which is marked by significant health challenges, stating, "I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has," while also extending "respect and compassion and sympathy" for Biden's circumstances, according to HuffPost, SFGate, and NPR.

Adams, who now grapples with daily pain severe enough to require a walker, stated that he feels "it's basically intolerable." He mentioned that this diagnosis allowed him time to process his situation and make necessary arrangements in preparation for his passing. Although he initially kept his health struggles private, he indicated that Biden's diagnosis encouraged him to publicly share his own, saying, "When Joe Biden went public with his situation...I thought to myself...he’s going to take away a lot of the attention," according to India Times and Los Angeles Times.

Adams emphasized the nature of public perception and expected backlash, acknowledging the cruelty often directed at public figures and expressing sympathy for Biden amid this challenging health news. He stated, “It’s a terrible disease,” aligning his experiences with the wider implications of prostate cancer management, which can be particularly complex when compounded by aggressive forms of the illness, according to HuffPost, NPR, and SFGate.
