15. He's In Denial

With one possible exception, I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. Constipation does not cause paralysis; it’s the cancer. Radiation may superficially eliminate his spinal tumors, but it is not a cure. Unlike some other cancers, stage 4 prostate cancer is treatable but it Is not curable.

Presumably, Adams has undergone standard drug treatment for stage 4 PC - heavy duty testosterone suppression (castration) drugs and possibly chemotherapy. Last I knew, Adams was trying to arrange to get treatment with Pluvicto, a last ditch effort at extending his life. Pluvicto is horrendously expensive (although somewhat less expensive overseas), can have significant side effects, and it generally extends life by less than one year - if successful, which it often is not.

I always loved Scott Adams satirical cartoons, until I found out that he’s a Trump supporter. But no one deserves the hell that he is going to go through.
