"Lung Cancer Undergoes Treatment for Limbaugh"--what the headline should've said.

I wonder if it was bullshit, he does lie as much as IMpotus does.

Two dropped out of remission after 14 to 28 months,and when found the new Cancer,it was stage four. Yes they became bed redden about six months after the new discovery and passed within a month. The other two,were Stage four from the get go,they to ended up bed redden with in four to six months from discovery. Both passed within six weeks of being bed redden.

Rush know doubt has the Coin to buy tons of experimental Therapy . So we will most likely see this POS around for several months.

He has a beard because he looks gaunt in the face. I heard someone say he offered a lung to him if it would give him more time. What a fool.

Findings confirm the poor prognosis in patients diagnosed with stage IV NSCLC, with a median overall survival time of just 4 months and 1- and 5-year survival of less than 16% and 2%, respectively.

If he is still mouthing off on the radio with no apparent shortness of breath and/or loss of weight, or other symptoms two months from now, I'd be starting to question his veracity (on this)--or the staging.

Hard to get accurate stats for this, because new drugs are coming out all the time, but I believe I've heard a combination of chemo and new drugs like keytruda can increase a patients 5 year survival rate to about 50%. At least that is what the VA is telling my Dad, but yeah Rush Limbaugh is still a POS.

Seems that everyone has inferred Stage 4 but don't know that he actually specified anything besides "advanced"

Some speculation that he may have been diagnosed longer ago than just last month since he and wife donated half a million $$ over a year ago to the Dana Farber Cancer Center and he wasn't known to donate to any similar charities before.
