I wish him the same that he wishes for those who are different from him.
I actually thought his article before the 2016 election on why Trump would win was actually super accurate in retrospect. A few big name people did predict Trump would win like Michael Moore but Moore also predicted Trump wouldn’t even make it to inauguration day among his many other failed predictions.
Insert Loki “Yes, very sad. Anyway…” meme.
My guess is that it was originally called Luvicto, but they decided the name was too close to another drug name. (Not the first time that’s happened.) So, they put a P in it to stand for “prostate.” Most likely, they produce a bunch of Pluvicto in a cyclotron, and men who receive it come in on the same day to get their dosages.
A while back, a prostate cancer therapy called Provenge got a lot of publicity, in part because it cost about $100,000. It consisted of the man going to a dedicated center to have stem cells removed from his bloodstream and sent to a lab for two months for incubation, and then he would come back and have them reinfused. It obviously was done only on men who were quite likely going to be alive 2 months after the pheresis appointment.
That sucks. As much as I hate his views, it’s hard to see anyone suffer like that.
Assuming he’s not exaggerating. If he’s to be believed, he died last summer.
It’s a very plausible story. Tumors pressing the spinal column can do that.
My great aunt was diagnosed with probably-lung-cancer-that’s-metastisized-everywhere because she didn’t answer the phone when my dad called her. He went over to check, and found her lying on the floor, paralyzed from the waist down. It was from a tumor. It was, by then, much too late to treat in a “trying to cure” or even “trying for remission” way. But she did have radiation therapy on that tumor, which was extremely successful. She regained the ability to walk, and was able to get around until the day before she died, several months later.
That was more than 30 years ago. It was standard treatment then. I assume they can do at least as well today. I wish him well.
My late wife had a similar experience to your aunt.
Fairly later in her devolution a spot of metastatic tumor grew on a lumbar vertebra and started pressing on her spinal cord. The result was lots of pain with motion and increasing weakness. It went from nothing to pretty debilitating in just a couple of weeks. Not that the tumor was all that fast growing, but it wasn’t a problem until it was, and spinal cords can’t take much prodding without misery. Left untreated, pretty quickly she’d have been immobilized. Like maybe a month later.
Anyhow, they radiated that spot a ~3 times over a weekish and it gave her no further trouble for the remaining ~2 years of her life. There were lots of little sharp-shooting successful battles like this amongst the general loss of the war.
Some specific narrow bits of cancer are eminently treatable even if the total situation with advanced metastatic disease is more a running must-lose battle of attrition.
Scott Adams says he is dying soonish
At least no one can say he was a dick to the very end.
He’s on my death list. He is bad, but I don’t wish suffering of death for him.
You may get your points. TMZ, usually pretty reliable when it comes to things like this, says Adams has now entered hospice care.
Some people have spent more than three years in hospice care.
I see this like the “trump is dying” thread. I read it and ask “finally?”

Does it come with a certificate of authenticity?
According to Variety he has died
Woohoo! Points for me!
Oops. Uh…
Oh no. How sad
RIP Scott Adams. You gave me a lot of laughs before you contracted the MAGA disease.
