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.”

Rush, your job now is to get well. Don’t worry about us, you have taught us well. We will always love you and will pray for a speedy recovery.

he should be more specific-

Stage 3 is also advanced, and very treatable in many cases

He needs to hang up the Golden EIB microphone with his formerly nicotine stained fingers, and spend time with his family and friends

“Why is it that the leftist fools seem to live forever?”

A deal with Satan, most likely. It does seem the good die young.

Laura Ingraham was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer in 2005 and recovered.

Jerry Doyle died suddenly a few years back; alcoholism may have been factor.
Liberal Ed Schulz died in 2016.

Rush, like all of us, is ultimately a mortal human being, and subject to the old saying, “You’ll never get out of this world alive.”

All of us face the eventual extinction of our personal voyage on earth, and the only measure we leave is the effect we have upon others. Rush has, by all standards, had an unusually strong impact on millions, first for his unwavering certainty that there is a right and just way to live our lives, or rather many right and just ways, and secondly that evil is real and exists to thwart those ways.

Common good sense brought to you on a daily basis, dressed up in humor and with a seemingly endless line of banter that flows as easily and pleasantly as a conversation with a good friend.

This feels like the day our family was informed that my sister had stage 4 colon cancer! It is like if somebody had punched us in the stomach again! I'm in tears because these will be extremely sad days!! We prayed so earnestly for my sister and she had a ton of people praying to no avail😢! She finally went to be with the Lord after many many treatments, surgeries and prayers! But nothing on the face of this earth is impossible to Jesus! Nothing😢🙏🏻 PRAYING FOR HEALING!

A very sad day for America. Maybe he can prevail but I don’t know much about it.
