Donald Trump and Robert F Kennedy Jr confirmed they want to help save the life of Dilbert creator Scott Adams after he admitted he is 'declining fast' from prostate cancer. Adams, who confirmed his diagnosis in March after former President Joe Biden announced he had the same cancer, was approved to receive a new FDA-approved drug called Pluvicto that he believes could keep him alive. However, he claimed healthcare provider Kaiser of Northern California has 'dropped the ball' in scheduling his IV and he is unable to get the appointment rescheduled. 'I am declining fast,' Adams admitted, while saying Puvicto 'is not a cure, but it does give good results to many people.' The writer, 68, announced that on Monday, he will take to social media and plead with Donald Trump for help. Adams is a longtime Trump supporter. 'I will ask President Trump if he can get Kaiser of Northern California to respond and schedule it for Monday. That will give me a fighting chance to stick around on this planet a little bit longer.' The president has immediately responded, writing to Truth Social on Sunday: 'On it!' Kennedy replied to Adams' tweet himself: 'Scott. How do I reach you? The President wants to help.' White House Deputy Chief of Staff also sprung into action, writing: 'No need till [sic] wait until Monday - @realDonaldTrump, @RobertKennedyJr, and @DrOz are all tracking now, Scott.' Adams has yet to comment further. The Daily Mail has reached out to the White House for comment. Adams announced the shock diagnosis in a Rumble stream in March as he said, like Biden, he has prostate cancer 'that has also spread to my bones.' The comic strip icon heartbreakingly revealed that doctors have told him he does not have long to live, and he 'expects to be checking out sometime this summer.' Adams had kept his cancer battle quiet, and although he did not say when he was diagnosed with the disease, he said he has 'had it longer than (Biden) has had it.' 'Well, longer than he's admitted to having it,' he added. The quip about when Biden was diagnosed with his stage 4 cancer comes as medical experts quickly questioned how the former president's condition was able to progress so severely without it being previously detected. Tributes poured in for Adams after he announced his shock cancer diagnosis. Conservative commentator Robby Starbuck urged his followers to 'lift him up in prayer' as he shared his surprise at Adams' short prognosis. 'Scott Adams is a rare man who impacted so many people that he will never really know the gravity of it,' he wrote. 'As he says here, his life expectancy is not likely to go past this summer but I hope it brings (him) some peace to know he’ll live on through those of us he impacted. 'Everyone please lift him up in prayer and tell him now while he’s alive just how meaningful he’s been to your life. Don’t wait until he passes to do that.' Adams' much-loved 'Dilbert' comics have been in circulation since 1989 and frequently pokes fun at office culture. In 2023, however, canned by 77 newspapers after its creator Scott Adams started incorporating anti-woke plotlines, including a black character who identifies as white. Adams is believed to be worth nearly $70million - a fortune he amassed thanks to the popularity of his characters, as well as his non-Dilbert related works. His satirical strips feature in newspapers across 57 countries, and in 19 languages - and there are over 20 million Dilbert books and calendars in print.
