UPDATE: Back Home
Scott resumes his pre-show (Live Streamed October 7, 2025 at 6:32 AM PT) and main show while in significant positional pain. Good news, maybe, ER scans may have qualified Scott for access to cancer drug Pluvicto, a radioactive prescription treatment used to treat adults with prostate-specific membrane antigen–positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
Claims that Yesterday was one of the worst days of his life, or at least among the top five for just pain. Outlook is still not promising.
EMERGENCY UPDATE (10/6/25, 7:17pm PDT): Live From the ER …
The pain in Scott’s back and legs was so great he went to the ER. After 7 hours in the ER, Scott live-streamed while waiting for the results of his MRI and and CAT scan.
Again, another stunning display of raw reality as Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams battles Stage-IV prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones. Even in severe pain, Scott shares his experience with his audience.
What began as another morning stream became something deeper—a portrait of a man stripped of artifice, clinging to routine as the world narrows to pain and breath. In sharing that raw honesty, Scott Adams gave his audience not humor, but humanity.
From Monday’s preshow live-streamed on October 6, 2025, at 6:31 am (PDT)…
Good morning, everybody. How are you? Looks like we’ll have some cat action this morning. Good morning.
Hey everybody. Watch me pet my cat. You were tired of petting and drumming anyway.
Oh, God, I’m in so much pain. Oh, God. Oh, fuck me.
Oh. Oh, I haven’t slept in two days. I can’t sleep because the pain is too great.
Oh. Hello cats. Yeah, I’m in bad shape.
…
I don’t think I slept more than 20 minutes at a time last night.
Kept waking up screaming. And now, instead of my leg hurting, every muscle in my body hurts at the same time. God, do I want to die right now? I would like to be dead right now.
That would be awesome, because I don’t want to spend another minute like this, honestly. Yeah, no sleep.
Too much pain? Nope. No sleep. Really? Your husband was in the same class? Yeah, no, it’s not.
It’s my position. It’s not. It’s not the mattress.
Every position hurts. The meds stop working, which we know they do. But it might also just be a separate problem.
Like a collapsed disc or something. Yeah, I’m so ready to check out right now. Nobody should put up with this.
This is way too much pain for a person to go through. Nobody should have to do this. The only thing I wanted was my bottle of water.
And I managed to take it downstairs and leave it. And I can’t possibly get back down there now. I don’t even have food in the house.
Because I couldn’t go anywhere, you see. Oh, your steroids worked? Well, it’ll hurt just as much whether I do a show or not. Maybe you’ll take my mind off it.
I can’t do a hot shower because I can’t stand up. It’s so painful to stand up. First 30 seconds are okay, and then it’s just agony.
Incredible pain. So, not ideal. I want to start the show so I have something else to think about except how much it hurts.
No, I didn’t have any good pain meds. My pain meds didn’t work at all. I don’t know why.
I think they don’t give you good ones anymore because they don’t want you to get addicted. So the ones I had were just so weak. People are being assholes to me today.
I’m not sure why. All right. That didn’t work.
Let’s try this. I don’t know what they’re worried about, but they don’t give out the good drugs anymore. I’ll get some food.
Yeah, I’ll probably be able to do the show. It might be a little short today. I’ll do the best I can.
Can we just shut the fuck up about ketamine? Is there any way we can stop talking about ketamine this morning? No. Just please. Just please don’t mention it again.
I have way too little sleep to deal with this this morning. All the news is old. It all sounds the same.
There’s a tariff. There’s a surge in the city. Even if I get mean.
There was no sleep last night. Too much pain. My voice? Yeah.
I don’t know why. I think it’s from being tired. Aw, good picture.
Can we stop talking about opioids and the risk of being addicted if you have a stage 4 cancer? Can we all just not talk about that anymore? That’d be great.
I think California might be a little more restrictive on the painkillers. I’m not sure. I can’t nap unless the pain goes away.
I just… I did fall asleep in my chair a couple times here.
Yeah, once I do palliative care, I get all the good stuff. True.
Might start that pretty soon. Alright, people. Almost time.
I’m going to meet you at the real show in a minute.
Scott got halfway through his regular show and called it quits.
As Scott Adams faces unimaginable pain, he still reaches for connection with his audience, even when every word costs him—you can see it in his eyes. His willingness to share the unvarnished reality of life with advanced cancer is not just a broadcast; it’s an act of courage, a reminder of the fragility and strength woven into the human spirit.
There are no punchlines left for mornings like this—only the fragile bravery of showing up, one breath at a time. As Scott Adams faces the relentless ache of his body, he reminds us that even in suffering, there is connection, and in pain, a kind of grace.
We wish him well and thank him for the thousands of laughs in the past and praying for more in the future.
