Doesn’t take much reading between the lines to figure out he’s telling us his illness is terminal. I imagine the operation he had was his power port for chemo, which may buy some time. I’ll certainly miss him, but in circumstances like this, a quick death is more merciful than a protracted one. Glad he got to experience that joy and honor.
Power port???
“It’s late stage. It’s advanced lung cancer. But there’s good news associated with the diagnosis and the treatment.”
Doesn’t sound from that like he is ready to throw in the towel.
Yes, it does not sound good. But a woman I used to work with, was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer approximately 10 years ago, and she seemed to have beat it, and is doing very well now, considering her age and what she went through. Just to say, there may be some hope for successful treatment and more good years for Rush.
