Last week, conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh announced on air that he had recently been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, describing the day as “one of the most difficult” of his life because he had to simultaneously reveal the diagnosis with his staff and his listening audience. While the diagnosis was dire, Rush offered his listeners some reassurance, stating that he has “a deeply personal relationship with God that I do not proselytize about,” which, he said with a laugh, he’s been “working … tremendously” in recent days. On Thursday, Limbaugh said that everything that has happened to him since making the announcement has been a “blessing.”
“You all just continue to stop me dead in my tracks,” Limbaugh told his audience Thursday. “I continue to get emails and flowers and cards. I mean, it’s voluminous. And it is so touching. I mean, people recounting experiences they had 30 years ago, 25 years ago, and this is why I said last Friday, last week, how lucky I am, and people have trouble understanding that.”
