This is devastatingly sad news, best wishes Rush.

It probably wasn’t the cigars. You don’t inhale cigar smoke. He was also a cigarette smoker years before.

Didn't Rush quit cigarettes over a decade ago? Seems like he's been describing his formerly nicotine stained hands for a number of years.

Perhaps it was the cigars that pushed his lung cells over the edge.

Rush used a room filter system. Very little smoke.

Advanced us usually stage 4 though there is a stage 5.

My longtime neighbor just received a similar diagnosis, though he never smoked. The reason you rarely hear of stage 1, 2 or 3 is there are no symptoms in the early stages.

Urgent and sincere prayers for Rush, his entire family as well as for my neighbor, Paul, just diagnosed last week with the same.

No, it isn’t.
I’ve said that about cancer, diabetes, heart disease and several other diseases. There’s too much money to be made off disease and death. Millions of jobs, trillions from meds, equipment and facilities.

Devastating news. I will pray for him everyday.

My parents and one sister died of lung cancer...all smokers. My only brother died of a massive heart attack, and my oldest sister of a stroke. They were smokers too. I'm the last one in my family...never smoked, but have health problems too.

I pray for his recovery. He is irreplaceable. What he has meant to the conservative movement, and the nation, over the past 3 1/2 decades cannot be quantified.

Absolutely right. He has had a profound impact on our world.

I believe some misunderstood his message during the 2016 campaign; but, in my opinion he kept the crazy idea that an outsider could get elected on an absolutely even keel. He did not make an endorsement until the nomination was complete, but I always knew for sure that he recognized a kindred spirit--a fellow genius showman--in Trump.

I am not sure DJT would have been elected without Rush.

At least 20.

My cousin’s husband also had HPV-caused throat cancer, had surgery, rad/chemo and survives.

I always thought Jerry Doyle would have been great portraying on film, “The Stainless Steel Rat”, aka “Slippery Jim diGriz” from the Harry Harrison books.

Son was diagnosed with lung cancer. He was 22. Never smoked. Four years later, he’s still around.

I learned more about lung cancer than I ever wanted to know.

For hate, all you have to do is go to the Fox link, and check out some of the comments.

Freepers. Our country needs Rush’s voice on the radio more than ever.

Everyone pray for his healing in Jesus name. Fast if you are able and lead by the Holy Spirit.

I’m shocked as I assumed Rush would have had regular checkups, chest x-rays, etc, to watch after the things that afflict one in their 50s and 60s. Maybe not...maybe he lived life as it came and didn’t visit the doctor unless he noticed a problem. I sure hope that it’s not progressed to the point that treatment is ineffective. It’s been a great 30 years listening to Rush.

Do a search on YouTube for CHIPSA hospital. Watch several videos & you will see some amazing testimonials re: cancer cures.
