You are not going to want to miss the first hour - the first segment of the Rush Limbaugh show today. Hint.— Bo Snerdley (@BoSnerdley) March 27, 2020
He's had a tough road, and more to go, glad he's still on the journey with us.
I pray it works
All we can do is pray and hope for the best, but it doesn’t look good for Rush....
I’m not sure what I would do in a similar situation..
Hang in there, Rush. I’ve been exactly where you are! Mine was six years ago. I was a 25 to 30 mile a week runner and after the third month of treatment, I could hardly walk across the room. Today, I walk 3 to 5 miles every day.
I’m praying for you!
Well, at least Rush is getting Kennedy/ McCain/ RGB/ Carter (he beat brain cancer)/ Jobs-level care. Glad he can afford it! I hope we have him for a few more years yet! Hang in there, Rush!
Here’s hoping for his recovery. This nation needs him more now than ever.
Best wishes Rush. Attitude is everything and yours is inspirational.
Are there drugs to reverse the side effects?
Good.
Ultimately our time is not is not in our hands. But we can trust Him who is in charge.
Whether we live or die we trust in Him.
I hope this is not Rush’s time. But if it is may he go in the presence of God. Thank you Rush. America is a better place because of you.
Prayers for Rush.
Kicking prayers up a notch.
“””””Are there drugs to reverse the side effects?”””””””””
Medical cannabis pills.
Prayers for Rush. Sounds so difficult and I know he says he just can’t do the chemo but it was working. Wish he could continue after the pain subsides.
Good grief! This guy should get the Presidential Medal of Freedom!
Rush is a national treasure
If he is going out of town for a Phase 1 clinical trials, there is a very good chance he is going to MD Anderson in Houston or Sloan Kettering in New York City.
Pretty sure it is SK in NYC.
chemotherapy can work very well but it usually involves what are, frankly, poisons....these poisons just happen to attack and kill rapidly-dividing cells MORE than they attack regular good healthy cells
so, since cancer consists of cells that are dividing too rapidly, chemotherapy’s poisons can kill the cancer before they kill the rest of the patient
but since they are mostly poisons, they still do some harm to the rest of the patient, and since they are usually quite powerful substances they can cause some difficult side-effects
Rush has described a rather typical chemotherapy quandary. The not walking for awhile will probably wear off, and he will likely be walking again soon after chemo ends.
But he mentions some mental confusion (though it surely doesn’t come thru in his writing, which is an excellent exposition). He needs to watch mental effects most especially, imho, as he is doing.
He also needs to MONITOR the cancer now more than ever.
I hate to say it but some cancers get aggressive again soon after chemo is interrupted. I am sure Rush’s doctors have explained this for him, and are doing the job!
Sometimes a slight modification of the dosage or ingredients can reduce the side effects while still being effective against the cancer. I am confident Rush’s docs are looking into this, too.
Rush’s note does sound quite hopeful for a full remission or “cure’ of the cancer, its just that he’s in the midst of the battle is all....can’t quite see to the victory at the end of the fight. But it could well still be there for him!
We pray
