Cancer-stricken Rush Limbaugh says he can no longer deny he's 'under a death sentence'
Fox News ^ | October 19, 2020 | Brian Flood

Posted on 10/19/2020 5:00:46 PM PDT by lowbridge

Cancer-stricken talk radio legend Rush Limbaugh provided listeners a somber update on his condition Monday after recent scans showed “some progression of cancer,” which he said is “not dramatic” but still a step in the wrong direction. 

Limbaugh announced in February that he was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer and had missed several shows this month to undergo treatment.  

“From the moment you get the diagnosis, there’s a part of you every day, OK, that’s it, life’s over, you just don’t know when,” Limbaugh said. “So, during the period of time after the diagnosis, you do what you can to prolong life, do what you can to prolong a happy life. You measure a happy life against whatever medication it takes.”  

Limbaugh, who recently hosted President Trump for a two-hour interview, continued the devastating update on his diagnosis.  

“It’s tough to realize that the days where I do not think I’m under a death sentence are over,” Limbaugh continued. “Now, we all are, is the point. We all know that we’re going to die at some point, but when you have a terminal disease diagnosis that has a time frame to it, then that puts a different psychological and even physical awareness to it.”

Stage 4 of anything, is bad news. Real bad news. Best wishes, Rush, in your continuing fight against it.

He’ll have the best Hospice Care, I’m sure.

Yep.. I was on there too...telling Savage what a despicable person he is. Pathetic.

I am going to continue to pray daily for Rush to be healed.

He is handling this with grace and honor, and I deeply admire him.

What a horrible thing to do!

The man has so many dedicated listeners and I’m sure when he talks about his cancer, he feels as if he is talking to friends. You always need someone to talk to in times like these.

Savage was so wrong.

God bless you Rush. You helped me keep my sanity
during the Clinton and Obama years and gave me hope
that this country would weather the insanity that
they wrought on us.

You go RUSH!

Sad to hear

We are all under a death sentence, though the lead-time averages are somewhat longer.

Did Rush blame his struggles with cancer on President Trump? It’s the “in” thing to do to blame everything negative that exists on President Trump.

would feel better if he said Jesus’ name

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Here’s an idea. Try listening to his show. I’ve heard him enough to know Christ is a central part of his life. Feel better?

My mother died of a rare lung cancer just about a year ago. This form of cancer mimicked pneumonia which they treated as such. They removed half of her left lung and the results of the biopsy showed this rare cancer. After months of treating her for pneumonia (which it wasn’t) it was too late.

I imagine Rush is going through some of the same things. I listen to him almost every single day and have since his early days. I pray for Rush as he will be surely missed by millions..

Yep. Savage can be entertaining, but he has some awful chip on his shoulder about conservatives in talk radio. Have no idea why, except it makes him look very small. I listened to Rush & heard no self-pity. He us a giant in his field, & barely talks about his illness at all

Catholicism saved nobody....

Note tagline and Romans 10:9-13.
Of course you don’t read the Bible, so why should we listen to yoU?

To: Thank You Rush

I found Rush on the radio around ‘90-’91.

I was on the Bombing Range in AZ and my cheap ass company only had AM radios. He is quite an amazing man.
