<\/p>\nRUSH: I\u2019ve got a bunch of emails from you people. You\u2019re not complaining. I understand you\u2019re not complaining. You\u2019re genuinely, heartfelt curious. You\u2019re pointing out that I have not given you a health update in longer than you can remember. And you\u2019re right, I haven\u2019t. And I told you that it was going to be this way. I told you that A, I didn\u2019t want to burden anybody with that. That is not why you\u2019re here.<\/p>\n
Number two, no matter how you do it, it\u2019s gonna sound like a complaint, and I just don\u2019t complain. And number three, I have — as have you, I have seen people, public figures who get cancer, who then live it publicly, and it\u2019s somehow — I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s just over the top to me. And then sometimes they make the mistake of saying, “Hey, I just saw the doctors and, man, I\u2019m cancer free,” and then six weeks later… so I have vowed that\u2019s not gonna happen. I\u2019m not gonna in any way perform here or host this program as an ongoing cancer patient with weekly, daily reports, because, as I\u2019ve said, there are good days, bad days; there are good weeks, bad weeks.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what I can tell you. The last treatment that I had, which is an infusion, was 10 days ago. And today is the first day I feel like being alive after that infusion. You\u2019ve heard me, I say I feel normal, meaning I feel like I\u2019m not taking any medicine. Now, the last infusion, that happened after five days. This one it has taken 10 days to reach this level, which only stands to reason because this infusion was the second one.<\/p>\n
So there now are two doses of this treatment medication running throughout the deep, dark crevices of my body and my system. So the more you add to it, the more impact that it\u2019s gonna have. And I actually am very lucky. I am not suffering any of the typical or the worst side effects that you hear about. For example, no nausea, no gastric or gastrointestinal distress at all. The primary side effect I have is a debilitating fatigue. I can\u2019t even describe it because it\u2019s so much more than being tired.<\/p>\n
Everything has a rotten taste. Everything has a rotten smell. I surround myself with key lime scented candles and lavender and lemon candles just to get the rotten sense of smell at bay. And, of course, that bleeds over to sense of taste, which does nothing for the appetite, obviously. So I\u2019m forcing myself to eat a bunch of stuff that literally tastes like horrible stuff. But these are the things you have to do and I don\u2019t want to tell you this kind of stuff every day.<\/p>\n
As far as overall how it is going, every day I wake up, I thank God I did. And that\u2019s pretty much it. So I\u2019m not trying to hide anything, and I\u2019m not trying to shield you from anything. I\u2019m actually simply trying to take what I\u2019ve learned in this process and understand that it changes frequently and constantly, that nothing is guaranteed. And so you take every day as it comes, when you get a good one, you rejoice. When you get a good one you try to maximize it, make the most out of it as you can. When you get a bad day, you try to limit it, you live through it, you don\u2019t complain about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
