Battling Stage 4 Lung Cancer

In February of this year, the 69-year-old publicly revealed that he had been diagnosed with “advanced lung cancer.” But before that, he assumed he had only asthma or possibly a heart problem because he had “zero symptoms.”

Today, the radio personality updates that there is “some progression of cancer.”

“The scans did show some progression of cancer,” he explained. “Prior to that, the scans had shown that we had rendered cancer dormant — that’s my phrase for it. We had stopped the growth. It had been reduced, and it had become manageable. But it’s always the reality, and the knowledge that, that can change. And it can come back because it is cancer. It outsmarts pretty much everything you throw at it. And this, of course, this is stage 4 lung cancer.”

Rush’s Sentiments

Moreover, Rush also shared his thoughts on his health. Feeling emotional, he said, “It’s tough to realize that the days where I do not think I’m under a death sentence are over.”

“We all know we’re going to die at some point,” he continued. “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.”

Please continue to pray for Rush Limbaugh and his family. May they find strength, peace, and comfort in God amidst these trying times.

Radio Talk Host Rush Limbaugh Says Prayer Works As He Gives Update On His Cancer Battle

Conservative Radio Talk host Rush Limbaugh said that prayer works as he gives an update on his battle against cancer.

Rush Limbaugh

In January of this year, Rush Limbaugh was diagnosed with advanced-stage lung cancer. He is still currently fighting for his life against cancer and has already undergone a series of treatments. Recently, he updated his listeners on his cancer battle saying that prayers work.

Rush used a baseball analogy to describe how his treatments went for the past months.

“My first two at-bats were horrible. My first two at-bats struck out. Nothing to show for it.” Rush explained that though his first round of treatment was effective, it “nearly killed me in the process.” Adding that the second round was a total fail.

Hope

However, his third treatment shed some light and hope for the radio personality.

“I hit a solid single and managed to steal second. I am currently on second base hoping to slide into third and eventually make it all the way home.”

Prayer Works

Rush said that he felt better this time than how he felt with the previous treatments he had. He expected to feel terrible for a couple of days but he actually had several good days. He also said that the progress with his recent treatments is a blessing and that he believes prayer works.

“I believe prayer works,” he emphasized.

Despite knowing that cancer treatments can change from day to day, he is optimistic about his condition. He places his hope for the future in the hands of God and trusting him in the process.

“I’m feeling extremely good right now, even cautious about saying that. Who knows what tomorrow’s going to bring?”

75-Year-Old Two-Time Cancer Survivor Beats Coronavirus With Just One Lung

by Rhoda Gayle April 27, 2020

FouA 75-year-old cancer survivor, who is also a Granddad, has beaten the coronavirus with just one lung after previously overcoming lung cancer and prostate cancer.

Two-time cancer survivor

William Burns, a former businessman from Irvine who is turning 76-years-old this Wednesday (April 29), is a living proof that miracles can still happen. The grandad has defied all odds and won his battle against coronavirus – despite having only one lung.

“It’s a miracle I managed to get through this,” William said. “But I have a really positive outlook and I believe in the power of the brain. There was never a moment when I thought I wasn’t going to make it.”

In 2007, William lost a lung after battling cancer. He had previously battled prostate cancer. But despite his age and previous condition, he was able to recover after contracting the coronavirus. William was in the hospital for four weeks.

Battle against coronavirus

The hospital staff and fellow patients gave him a standing ovation as he walked out of the hospital.

“The doctors sent me to hospital with no hesitation after asking a few questions,” he said. “All the staff at the hospital were superb and I can’t thank them enough for what they did for me while I was there. Everyone applauding as I came out of the ward.”

The first thing William did after being discharged was to have his hair cut.

“It’s lovely to be out. I’ve missed fresh air, without a doubt, and it feels great to be home and back in my own bed. It’s also been six weeks since I’ve had a haircut and my hair grows very quickly,” he jokingly said.

Beating the odds

William’s family was glad to have him home. The only communication they had with him was phone calls. Despite being alone, William courageously fought the virus.

“We’re all thrilled he’s come out the other end of this. He is a survivor. I couldn’t tell you how many times he’s had pneumonia over the last 12 years since he had lung cancer. He’s now managed to dodge another bullet here which is just amazing. He’s in great spirits,” William’s son Stewart said.

by Christel Berns February 6, 2020

American radio personality Rush Limbaugh revealed on Monday during his show that he was diagnosed with “advanced lung cancer.” Also that he’s totally relying on his personal relationship with God during this hard time.

Rush disclosed that “two medical institutions” confirmed his lung cancer diagnosis on Jan 20. He also shared that it was on his birthday, Jan. 12, when he first experienced sudden shortness of breath. He knew then that there was something wrong with his health. But he assumed it was only asthma or possibly a heart problem.

“My heart’s in great shape, ticking away fine, squeezing and pumping great. It was not that. It was a pulmonary problem involving malignancy,” he said. “So I’m gonna be gone the next couple days as we figure out the treatment course of action and have further testing done. But, as I said, I’m gonna be here as often as I can.”

The Deep Faith Of Rush Limbaugh

Moreover, the 69-year-old shed light of the importance of his deep faith in God in this moment of his life.

“I’ve had so much support from family and friends during this that it’s just been tremendous. I told the staff today that I have a deeply personal relationship with God that I do not proselytize about. But I do, and I have been working that relationship tremendously,” Rush said, laughing. “Which I do regularly anyway, but I’ve been focused on it intensely for the past couple of weeks. I know there are many of you in this audience who have experienced this. Who are going through it yourselves at the same time.”

The Support Of His Audience

Rush considered keeping his condition private, however, he knew he couldn’t keep it secret for long since he would be missing for days. Besides, he said he considers his audience a part of his family.

“It is a family-type relationship to me, and I’ve mentioned to you that this program and this job is what has provided me the greatest satisfaction and happiness that I’ve ever experienced, more than I ever thought that I would experience,” the conservative radio host said. “[Over] the years, a lot of people have been very nice telling me how much this program has meant to them. But whatever that is, it pales in comparison to what you all have meant to me.”

Then he added that he has a “great bunch of doctors, a great team assembled.”

“We’re at full-speed ahead on this, and it’s just now a matter of implementing what we are gonna be told later this week,” Rush said. “So, I’ll be back here. I hope I’ll be back Thursday. If not, it will be as soon as I can – and know that every day I’m not here, I’ll be thinking about you and missing you.”

Let us join together in praying for Rush’s complete healing in the mighty Name of Jesus!
