A lot of people, many of you, more than I can count, are sending emails asking me for a health update or just saying, &#8220;You haven\u2019t spoken about your treatment lately. What\u2019s going on?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Let me remind you, I told you at the beginning of this that I\u2019m very flattered by all of you who care. Don\u2019t misunderstand. But I vowed not to let this take control of my life. I\u2019ve seen that happen. It\u2019s hard not to. It\u2019s a terminal disease for a lot of people. It takes over your life. I\u2019ve vowed to not let that happen as much as I can.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, who wants to listen to somebody talk about cancer treatment all the time? That\u2019s not fun. And there\u2019s another thing. If I were to get into any kind of detail &#8212; I mean, if they\u2019re making up that I claim the coronavirus was invented by the deep state to use against Trump, if they\u2019re willing to make that up, can you imagine what they would do if I went into detail? I don\u2019t even want to give them a window to open to start lying and making things up or investigate.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-337414\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/APP-022120-Rush-Medal-BW-Plane-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/APP-022120-Rush-Medal-BW-Plane-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/APP-022120-Rush-Medal-BW-Plane-1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>All I will tell you is this. I get treated every day. I get treated every day at 1 p.m., folks, within a five-minute window here at the top of the hour, 1 p.m., and then again at 11 p.m. Every day. And then four times a week I have to do something else, which I\u2019m not gonna describe and I\u2019m not gonna explain or any of that.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s ongoing. It\u2019s been two weeks now. It\u2019s not enough time to know anything, although I\u2019m extremely optimistic about it for a host of reasons, not the least of which &#8212; and I mean this from the bottom of my heart &#8212; is all of you. I believe God is good. I believe that there is good in everything that happens. Let me give you an example of that. It\u2019s not good for me that I have contracted this. But there\u2019s good in it. There\u2019s good in it maybe for other people who might be inspired to change their life, so they don\u2019t get it or whatever &#8212; there\u2019s good in everything, if you just look for it. And ultimately there\u2019s gonna be good in it for me. It already has been good for me.<\/p>\n<p>The outpouring of love and affection that I have received is unlike anything I\u2019ve ever dreamed of or experienced. So you have to try to stay positive, you have to try not to panic, you have to try to do the best you can with what is learned about, in my case the specifics of what I have, deal with it with the latest available treatment and adapt and try to establish as normal an existence as you can and not be dominated by it.<\/p>\n<p>Which is why I don\u2019t issue reports, status, whatever, each and every day because A, I don\u2019t want to do it, and I don\u2019t want to be dominated by it, and I also don\u2019t want to have that become what the program is. It wouldn\u2019t be fair to bleed on all of you every day about this. Your support and your ongoing support is more than I could have ever dreamed about. And when there\u2019s more to tell, up or down, then I will tell you.<\/p>\n<p>I will tell you that there have been two days this week I got up, I said, &#8220;Gosh, I can\u2019t do it.&#8221; I\u2019ve tried to, you know, not artificially push myself here every day as a sign of toughness. I\u2019ve tried to push myself every day here because this is what I love doing. This is my natural, normal, happy state and place. But there have been a couple days this week when I got up and said, &#8220;Oh, I can\u2019t do it today.&#8221; But I pushed through. And once I got here and got started, it was a long three hours of show prep, jeez, I could barely stay awake, I was all kinds of stuff. The program starts, the microphone goes on, and magic happens. And in about 20 minutes, when this is over, I\u2019m gonna decompress like you can\u2019t believe. I don\u2019t know what it is.<\/p>\n<p>And there are gonna be days where I\u2019m gonna cave to it and not be here, and when those days happen, just chalk it up to the fact that it\u2019s fatigue because that\u2019s the primary thing that I have to deal with. So that\u2019s the week\u2019s update, that\u2019s the week\u2019s, w-e-e-k, apostrophe S, update.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: It&#039;s been two weeks now.
