Scott Adams, Dilbert Creator, Shares Prostate Cancer Diagnosis

In fact, his struggle to cope with the side effects was part of the reason he stopped filming his evening series titled Man Cave.

As Adams explained, "A lot of it was because I don't really function too well after the show."

"I'm always in pain," he continued. "And pain moves around to different parts of my body. I've been using a walker to walk for months now."

And while he acknowledged that his cancer diagnosis may come as a shock for some of his subscribers, Adams said that he's come to terms with his prognosis.

"I've just sort of processed it, so it just sort of is what it is," he shared. "Everybody has to die as far as I know and it's kind of civilized that you know about how long you have so you can put your affairs together and make sure you've said your goodbyes and done all the things you need to do."

He added, "So, if you had to if you had to pick a way to die, this one's really painful—like really, really painful—but it's also kind of good that it gives you enough time while your brain is still working to wrap things up."
