Cartoonist Scott Adams said in a social media post Sunday that he plans to appeal to President Donald Trump for help in scheduling cancer treatment that he believes could extend his life.
Adams, the author of the comic strip “Dilbert,” announced earlier this year that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
He wrote in A Share on X That his health care provider, Kaiser Permanente – Northern California, approved his request to receive the new FDA-approved drug Pluvicto.
“But they dropped the ball on short term scheduling to manage it and I can’t seem to fix it. I’m backing down fast,” Adams wrote.

“I’ll ask President Trump if he can get the Northern California czar to respond and set an appointment for Monday. It will give me a fighting chance to stay on this planet a little longer. It’s not a cure, but it gives good results for a lot of people.”
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. responded to Adams’ viral post, asking how to reach him.
“The President wants to help,” RFK Jr. wrote.
