Rush Limbaugh announces he has 'advanced lung cancer'.
Fox News ^ | 2/3/2020 | Brian Flood

Posted on 02/03/2020 12:13:42 PM PST by Carriage Hill

Longtime influential conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh announced on his show Monday he was diagnosed with "advanced lung cancer," a shocking announcement in which he said he will miss shows for treatment.

“This day has been one of the most difficult days in recent memory, for me, because I’ve known this moment was coming,” Limbaugh said. “I’m sure that you all know by now that I really don’t like talking about myself and I don’t like making things about me… one thing that I know, that has happened over the 31-plus years of this program is that there has been an incredible bond that had developed between all of you and me.”

I think God gives them more time to repent for their douchebaggery

Horrible disease... Prayers up for Rush!

I have had a feeling something was going on for a couple weeks now after he disappeared for a couple extended periods unexpectedly... Then last week he started growing his beard out and I really wondered what was going on.

Without Limbaugh there would be no talk radio, no conservative voice etc. His impact on American politics cannot be calculated. I am stunned at this sad news.

shocked.

I have followed him since his first week in Sacramento

My three all-them radio people in 68 years of listening: Harvey, Imus, Limbaugh. Of the three, Limbaugh is the most essential to the well-being of the country.

Devastating.

I feel terrible for Rush.

I feel terrible for the rest of us... all who love America.

He is a great American, a great patriot, a great human being.

May have switched to electric cigarettes.

I think he waited to announce as long as he could until impeachment almost over.

“advanced”

Does that mean stage 4? If so the outlook is not great.

I don’t get it either.

Maybe hate, rage, or bitterness that keeps them going.

It would explain a previous neighbor.

Sad new for Limbaugh.

they are getting very close to a cure- actual cure- they just had an ‘accidental discovery’; that could be a cure for many types of cancer- not just specific ones- and there are several other recent announcements of very promising cures and treatments that don’t involved the massive destruction that comes with chemo and radiation- The testing phase should be rushed along- but carefully-

Prayers up for Rush. He has been a “friend” for over 30 years. God bless him.
