Overview

  • Adams, 68, says a tumor near his spine caused loss of motor function below the waist, though he still has sensation.
  • He is undergoing several days of targeted radiation at a Kaiser facility after MRI evaluation, hoping to regain some lower-body strength.
  • He says a Pluvicto infusion lined up after interventions from President Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is postponed.
  • In midweek videos he reported no clear benefit yet from radiation and said his prognosis remains uncertain, noting that the odds are against him.
  • He disclosed in May that his prostate cancer had spread to his bones, and his health updates continue to draw attention following the 2023 publisher backlash that removed Dilbert from many outlets.
