Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, who was diagnosed with advanced-stage lung cancer earlier this year, shared an update about his treatment, saying he’s been going through ups and downs but “I believe prayer works.”
“There are good days, good weeks. There are bad days and bad weeks,” Limbaugh, who was diagnosed on Jan. 22, wrote on his website.
“This past period, this past treatment, which was a week ago tomorrow, this has been much better than I thought,” said the talk show host, who began his nationally syndicated radio show about 30 years ago.
“Because of the cumulative effect of the toxicity, I was expecting to be, you know, in that just debilitating fatigue for 10 days. And I wasn’t. It lasted two days, Thursday and Friday. The weekend was good. But, again, anything can change rapidly and on a dime. So, it’s a blessing.”
Limbaugh, 69, added, “I believe prayer works. I know it does.”
Using a baseball analogy, Fox News opinion host Limbaugh said it was “a blessing that in my third at-bat, the last shot that I had at this, I got on base and I stole second, and I’m chugging on to third, and I’m very confident that I’m gonna score.”
“I’m very confident that this is gonna go into extra innings. Meaning — well, you know what it means. I’m trying to avoid being specific in the lingo here. And, again, that’s simply because of how rapidly things can change with this kind of diagnosis.”
Limbaugh said he was “feeling extremely good right now, even cautious about saying that. Who knows what tomorrow’s gonna bring... I could be even more optimistic if I wanted to because there is reason to be, but, again, when every phase and stage happens that’s an improvement, I’ll be sure and pass it on.”
While announcing he had been diagnosed with cancer in January, Limbaugh said, “This day has been one of the most difficult days in recent memory, for me, because I’ve known this moment was coming. I’m sure that you all know by now that I really don’t like talking about myself and I don’t like making things about me. … One thing that I know, that has happened over the 31-plus years of this program, is that there has been an incredible bond that has developed between all of you and me.”
In February, Limbaugh was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
“Almost every American family knows the pain when a loved one is diagnosed with a serious illness,” Trump said at the time. “Here tonight is a special man, beloved by millions of Americans, who just received a Stage 4 advanced cancer diagnosis. This is not good news, but what is good news is that he is the greatest fighter and winner that you will ever meet.”
Trump thanked Limbaugh for “decades of tireless devotion to our country.”
“And, Rush, in recognition of all that you have done for our nation, the millions of people a day that you speak to and that you inspire, and all of the incredible work that you have done for charity, I am proud to announce tonight that you will be receiving our country’s highest civilian honor: the Presidential Medal of Freedom,” Trump declared.
After you pray for RUSH, pray for Trump so our country is saved.
Praying for you Rush!
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14
Just heard that on a local radio show, powerfully read by the recently departed Charlie Daniels.
Numerous studies have shown that the people most likely to survive cancer are the ones with positive attitudes. In my experience, people who believe in God have positive attitudes.
Liberals, who, almost universally do not believe in God, generally have negative outlooks. The several lesbians I had to deal with in the workplace, some of the most liberal people I have ever met, had almost toxic outlooks. One had to be involuntarily put into an institution for her own safety and the safety of others. (I wasn’t even mildly surprised. What was surprising is that someone caught it before she killed people at work or herself.)
I pray for Rush and the President and all here who are also praying. I have never met any of you but you are my neighbours and we know what Jesus said about our neighbours.
Every night.
I heard him. It was more than his usual generic statements about God. It is a fact to him that prayer is a direct way to the ear of God. You know, maybe this sounds strange, but I cannot imagine life here without him. For that reason,he can’t die before I do. On the day I breathe my last, he can go that afternoon if he wants.
Every night, as I pray, I cite individuals for whom I have a special place in my heart.
1. President Trump and his family
2. Vice-President Pence and his family
3. Rush Limbaugh
4. Alex Trebeck (I know...a liberal, but he has asked for prayer and has publicly announced that “Prayer Works”. Big JEOPARDY! Fan here.)
5. Richie and Jaxson, two little boys with dire medical conditions who have been featured on FR
6. Everybody else that I can think of at the time...but the first five are constant.
That’s my daily prayer. Where two or more are gathered .........
Keep praying folks!
You can access this thread any time from the link near the tpo of the Forum page.
Rush sees the light. And he has learned and exposed important pieces of the powerful evil which is consuming USA.
Richie and Jaxson are also in my daily prayers. Two little innocents. I pray for their strength and that the Lord will lead and guide their doctors.
