I hope Rush has access to this.
My second thought.
Bkmk
Me too. Thinking and praying Rush can do this too.
“I hope Rush has access to this.”

Yep, I hope he has access to the very best treatments for his particular situation. Rush’s late diagnosis motivated me to get off my dead ass and pay more attention to my health. As a former heavy smoker I found out that I was eligible for the low dose CT lung cancer screening test. I had that test and they found a SMALL potentially “suspicious” lung nodule. I go back in March for another CT scan to see if the nodule is growing in a way possibly indicating malignancy requiring further action.
For my fellow former (or current) smokers, here’s a link with more information on this screening:

It could save your life.
I think it was the first thing his oncologists tried. Abandoned due to inability to tolerate.
I suspect he’s had at least one kind of it and had to stop. He has only spoken about his treatment in generalities. He said his first treatment did nothing. His second worked but cause intolerable side effects. I forget just what the’d said about the side effects but at the time I thought they sounded like autoimmune side effects. They are the main problem with immunotherapy. It can get your immune system to fight the cancer but sometimes it fights significantly more than just the cancer. There are now a growing list of types of immunotherapy and a different one might work better or be tolerated better. And that may work better combined with other kinds of therapies. The initial breakthroughs in immunotherapy came in melanoma. Different immunotherapy tactics had long been tried in that because clinically the immune system spontaneously cures that more often than other cancers. It took 40+ years trying before doctors got any positive results, but the first couple in melanoma showed the way to more.
