President Donald Trump on Sunday publicly confirmed that he was working to help "Dilbert" creator Scott Adams secure treatment for prostate cancer.

Adams publicly reached out to Trump seeking his aid the same day. Trump promptly responded by sharing Adams's plea and simply saying "on it."

Earlier in the day, Adams's plea for assistance went viral on X after he announced that he had been unable to schedule his treatment for a recently approved drug.

"On Monday, I will ask President Trump, via X, to help save my life. He offered to help me if I needed it. I need it. As many of you know, I have metastasized prostate cancer," he posted on X. "My healthcare provider, Kaiser of Northern California, has approved my application to receive a newly FDA-approved drug called Pluvicto."

"But they have dropped the ball in scheduling the brief IV to administer it and I can’t seem to fix that," he said.

"I am declining fast," he added. "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. It is not a cure, but it does give good results to many people."
