I listened too. I suspect that he got some bad news?

Cancer is a funny thing. If he can hold on another year there may be new treatment.

I had colon cancer where they check for it by putting a camera on a cable up the butt.
But the recent time I went for a check what they needed was a small poop sample for the lab.
That’s advancement!

I believe he had mentioned earlier that it's different now that he has an "expiration date" - so maybe they told him six months, or something like that.

He is "saved", so we (those of us who belong to Jesus), get to see him in heaven - eternal dittos....

The issue becomes a matter of the assault the cancer takes on all the body systems. Let’s say a great effective treatment comes out in a year that the elites won’t keep bottled up for themselves. The treatment might work well if given early but if the body is already used up, the immune system is shot and pneumonia has set in or kidney and or liver damage then the treatment has come too late.

Cancer is not a funny thing.

But I know what you meant. “Odd” would be a better word, though. :)

"If he can hold on another year there may be new treatment."

Lung cancer is a bad one. Both my parents and a sister died of it. My parents died many years ago, and neither had treatments for it. Both my mother and father died approximately 3 months after being diagnosed.

My sister, the 2nd oldest, had stopped smoking five years prior to being diagnosed in Feb/Mar of 2010. She went through weeks of chemo and radiation treatments. 10 extra radiation treatments to the brain. Suffered radiation pneumonia in the fall of 2010. She felt good enough in Jan. and Feb. of 2011 to have her cataracts taken care of. The day she had the second eye done, she came home, passed out in the bathroom, and smashed her face to shit. Had 6 hours of surgery to repair it all. In May 2011, she was placed in palliative care in the hospital, and underwent more radiation treatments to her brain. On July 1st, she was placed in hospice care. I was with my sister when she passed at 12:30 a.m. on her 69th birthday, Sept. 2, 2011. I firmly believe she waited until she turned 69 to die, because she didn't want to die younger than our mother, who had also passed from lung cancer at the age of 69. My sister lasted far longer than I had thought she would, but her death was inevitable, barring a miracle.

Having watched what she had gone through, I wasn't sure I would ever want to go through any of that myself if I ended up getting cancer. I was the only one in my family that never smoked, and I'm the last one left. My father died at the age of 73 in 1978. My mother in 1990. My only brother died of a massive heart attack at 51. My last sister died from complications after a stroke at 74 in December 2015. I turned 73 this year. Do I feel like I'm living on borrowed time? Oh yeah!!

I hope and pray you are right, FRiend. Losing Rush is like losing a good friend I've had for 30 years.

The last half hour of his show today was unbelievably heartbreaking... I was in tears.

God bless you, Rush.
