It doesn't look like Rush is going the chemo route. Chemo is typically administered once every 3 to 4 weeks, whereas Rush was getting treatment twice a day every day - including in the middle of his show. My guess is he is taking some sort of targeted therapy/ immunotherapy. Regardless, because of the state of his lungs a Corona infection would be almost fatal. He cannot take a chance with it. If he really wants to get back on the air, maybe he could set up a cleanroom in his house and use that as a makeshift studio , with or without dittocam.
My bad. Just checked his message. He is in fact getting chemo. Maybe chemo with other drugs.
Keep your q crap to that thread per Jim robinson
Loving God, I pray that you will comfort Rush in his suffering, lend skill to the hands of his healers, and bless the means used for his cure. Give him such confidence in the power of your grace, that even when he is afraid, He may put his whole trust in you; through our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
When Rush said he would be back last Friday after four days of “treatment” I knew that wasn’t going to happen.
His recording that aired today was the first time he mentioned getting Chemotherapy although it was obvious based on his original announcement of a four day absence.
Having been through multiple Chemotherapy Regimens during the last 14 Years myself, I figured he would need the weekend to recover before returning to work.
With the improvements in Chemotherapy we have today, I find it a bit troubling that he is having issues the next week, but he is in his late 60’s.
I was only 52 when I went through my first Chemotherapy Regimen, and 62 when I had my last one. The last one had a longer recovery period for me even though the duration of the Regimen took less time to go through.
Prayers up for Rush...
Not only should those on ANY FORM of SS or unemployment, but ANYONE receiving ANY government paycheck should be EXCLUDED from this hand-out.
It is SUPPOSED to be for those who are LOSING paychecks and that ain’t happenin’ to those folks.
“My guess is that Rush’s treatments have left him immunocompromised and he’s been advised not to leave his house.”
I thought Rush did broadcast from his house in Florida
Rush has talked about the fact that he wanted to work from an in-home studio but was prevented from doing so by local zoning Nazis. Unless that’s changed recently.
He also mentioned a "team of doctors" who I suspect are probably tops in their field......
That’s good! I miss Rush. I turned it off and am thinking about going for a walk.
Yes, I agree. Mark covers others areas I’m also interested in that Rush doesn’t. I also like the perspective of the “sympathetic outsider looking in.”
Still listening to Ken today. Like he said, he’s fine.

She’s more than fine! ...What about her?
She's the celebrity that Ken Mathews was trying to remember who put out that video of "Imagine" last week.
-PJ
Ah! Missed that whole viral Imagine thing.
I have fortunately never had to go through chemo, but I've heard it can kick the crap out of you, at least for awhile. Mega, mega prayers up for Rush...
A HUGE amen to that, FRiend...
