KTRH's Rush Limbaugh the third wave of cancer treatment “kicking my ass.”
Limbaugh told listeners they were overdue for an update on his medical status after he announced earlier this year that he was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer.
“These are extremely challenging times for me, medically, nothing that million of you haven’t gone through or aren’t going through, and those of you who have, or those of you who are going though it, you understand it,” Limbaugh said. “The temptation here is to start divulging a lot of stuff, I’m not gonna do that because I vowed not to be a cancer patient on the radio."
Limbaugh repeated that he wants to “shield” his listeners from as much as possible as he battles lung cancer.
Limbaugh said that one particular treatment “that works in 97 percent of patients” did not work with him because of a “one-percent mutation” that he has.
“That one percent mutation is theorized to nullify the second phase of treatment that we tried,” he explained before praising his wife for supporting him throughout the process.
“The day is going to come where I’m not going to be able to be here and I’m hoping that it is months, years. I’m hoping the cycle that we’re in does its magic, but the day is going to come that it won’t be possible to be here every day,” Limbaugh said. “Any chance to do the show, I’m gonna take it.”
