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

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.”

The 90s would have turned out totally different if not for Rush. He was before Drudge and Fox News and of course this website. I was in college at the time, but could listened to him everyday I could and read both of his books that were out at the time.

I just recently lost my father to cancer. He had been in remission from another cancer for a number of years, but in a matter of months we noticed him getting very weak and sleeping all the time. On August 1 they diagnosed him with lymphoma and he passed by the 27th.

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?

not sure why being a smart alec is needed; I listen to it nearly every day except when I have a client

FATHER GOD.

We stand in agreement with Your mighty Promise on behalf of Rush Limbaugh:

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon Him and with His stripes we are healed. 1 Peter 2:24

May You, in Your great mercy and grace, completely heal him of lung cancer.

In JESUS' Name we pray. AMEN.

Exactly. Rush has talked many times about his relationship with God.

I do think Charlie Kirk has the makings to be a new young, podcaster like Rush! I would love to see Rush have Charlie Kirk on his show as that would give Charlie a big boost in getting out to millions his style...He’s a dynamo.

That was a wonderful night when President Trump bequeathed the Medal of Freedom to Rush Limbaugh before an audience of millions of Americans on TV. What an honor. We love you Rush, many of us who have listened and learned from you for years and years. You are beloved, an icon, and keep speaking to us for as long as possible; we need you so much.

When you do hang up your spurs, you will do it knowing that you have made such a major difference in so many lives, and brought conservatism into the full light of day. What a wonderful and delightful human being you are, with an amazing wife. Kudos for your very existence and keep playing your hand out for as long as you can as if the glass is half full; heaven knows it very well may be and hope springs eternal.

When he does depart this vale of tears, he should be given a state funeral and lay in honor under the Capitol rotunda.

He did say Jesus’ name. The transcript is below.

“I thank God that I did. I try to make it the best day I can no matter what. I don’t look too far ahead. I certainly don’t look too far back. I try to remain committed to the idea what’s supposed to happen, will happen when it’s meant to. I mentioned at the outset of this — the first day I told you — that I have personal relationship with Jesus Christ.”
