“I’ll give you any updates if that changes, but it won’t.”

Scott Adams, the creator of the Dilbert comic strip, said on Thursday that his cancer prognosis has worsened, telling viewers that doctors have given him no expectation of recovery.
In a candid update, Adams said he spoke with his radiologist shortly before the New Year and was told the outlook was bleak. “I talked to my radiologist yesterday. He was working on the day before New Year’s and it’s all bad news,” Adams said.

Adams said doctors told him there is “no chance” he will regain feeling in his legs. He also disclosed additional complications affecting his heart and breathing. “I’ve got some ongoing heart failure, which is making it difficult to breathe sometimes during the day,” he said. “But at the moment I can breathe and I’m not in any pain.”
He warned viewers to prepare for rapid changes in the coming weeks. “You should prepare yourself that January will be probably a month of transition, one way or the other,” Adams said. “I haven’t made any decisions, but it was all bad news. No good news at all.”
“I will keep doing this as long as it makes sense, because I like doing it. It keeps me busy,” he said. “I have much bigger problems than the stuff I’m talking about in the news, but I’m so interested in what’s happening in the world that it’s very engaging.”
