Rush Limbaugh cancer diagnosis :(

[MikePotts]

Limbaugh, the man from whom I have learned most about American politics and, in my opinion the clearest thinker in the media, announced at the end of his show today that he has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.

Although I don't expect any from this august group I'd be obliged if any negative comments about him waited a while, thanks.

Prayers only please.

While I would not wish cancer on anyone, I just have to ask. Is the whole world going to end or just yours?

Sorry for Rush. I liked him! He's in our thoughts!

Since it's February now, you can expect lots of comments.

The message above was typed in my sarcasm font.

PRAYERS UP.

Thank you for posting this. I also enjoyed listening to Rush.

I have no problem with him and sometimes listen and occasionally totally agree with him.
And believe it or not, only wish him well.

I thoroughly enjoy listening to Rush. He is one of the few consistently logical and insightful conservative voices out there. And he so often has a take on an issue that makes me think “Why didn’t I think of that?”

I don't know about lung cancer but I do know that stage 4 cancer of other types can be beat with chemo and radiation when surgery is pretty much out of the question. It is not easy and the most important thing I have heard one needs to do is to stay in the fight and complete each and every treatment. When you quit you stand almost zero of a chance once at stage 4. It is also like having a bomb dropped into your lap when you hear stage 4 especially when the whole thing comes as a surprise. I think he said that his first symptoms were on the 12th of January (if I understood correctly) and that his diagnosis was confirmed on the 20th. If that is correct, that is a terrible shocker without a doubt.

I can wish him only all the best, and a complete if not also a speedy recovery (there probably is no way it will be speedy at stage 4). He was and remains a champion of the right, of our Constitution and of freedom. By the way, he said he is going to continue with his show as best he can do while going through treatments.

Rush Limbaugh is a great commentator, a pretty good linguist and a political wiz. He also could be pretty funny - something unusual for a talk show host on the right. He was a breath of fresh air when I lived and worked in NYC and then when I lived on Long Island and still worked in NYC. I was truly overwhelmed with relief and pretty much joy when I found his show on the radio where I live now in Texas.

I am not religious but I sometimes say prayers just in case there really is some divine entity out there listening and I am not certain either way. As for the prayers I say, I have rarely said them for myself - even when I probably needed them badly - they are almost always for others just like now except he is getting more than most have gotten out of me.

I don't wish cancer on anyone. My thoughts do go out to him. I wonder if he's re-thinking those cigars now?

Also, I've always been amazed how people with seemingly endless means, such as Rush, get hit wtih a stage 4 diagnosis. The cost of medical care is by no means a barrier to him. I wonder why this wasn't caught sooner? (and I'm afraid it may be because doctors are still practicing and haven't figured all this stuff out yet.)

He has written some good books, but he was a hypocrite at times

Hey Rush - kick cancer's arse! You can do it.

He always talks about his "formerly nicotine stained fingers" so I assume he was a heavy smoker at one point. Seems like he gave up cigars a while back also.

Also, I've always been amazed how people with seemingly endless means, such as Rush, get hit wtih a stage 4 diagnosis. The cost of medical care is by no means a barrier to him. I wonder why this wasn't caught sooner? (and I'm afraid it may be because doctors are still practicing and haven't figured all this stuff out yet.)

What is the test for lung cancer? I didn't hear all of it today but I think he said he'd been noticing he was short of breath and went in for that, figuring it was his heart.

I had a buddy who had similar symptoms and he had some type of leukemia (although it wasn't called leukemia, it was something else I can't remember the name of). He ended up going through a LOT of chemo but is OK now. A former co-worker had the same thing but didn't catch it early enough and died within a couple of months of the diagnosis. I notice I get winded a lot easier than I used to but I assumed it's because I'm getting older and fatter. Maybe I need to get tested for these things. And lose weight.

I listened today but didn’t catch the end. He had been gone quite a bit recently which is out of character for him.

We’ll keep him in our prayers too.

This. And Jimmy Carter's.

2nd call up the Israelis as they have a promising treatment in trials.

Seems like I was reading a while back that they found, or thought they found, a way to turn the HIV virus into cancer fighting machines. Can't remember if this was Israeli's or not.
