Rush Limbaugh Updates His Health: "It's A Roller Coaster'

Rush Limbaugh

Radio host Rush Limbaugh said Monday that scans taken last week showed his case of stage 4 lung cancer getting worse.

“It’s tough to realize that the days where I do not think I’m under a death sentence are over,” the radio titan told listeners on his afternoon show. “We all know we’re going to die at some point. When you have a terminal disease diagnosis that has a time frame to it, then that puts a different psychological and even physical awareness to it.”

Limbaugh, who has more more than 15 million weekly listeners, first revealed he had lung cancer in February, just a day before President Donald Trump bestowed him with a presidential Medal of Freedom.

Mediaite reports Limbaugh said Monday the scans showed the cancer had grown after an initial period of dormancy.

"I hate the way I feel every day. It's tough to realize that the days where I do not think I'm under a death sentence are over."

“The scans did show some progression of cancer,” Limbaugh said. “Prior that, the scans had shown that we had rendered the cancer dormant. That’s my phrase for it. We had stopped the growth. It had been reduced, and it had become manageable. But it’s always the reality, and the knowledge, that that can change and it can come back, because it is cancer. It outsmarts pretty much everything you throw at it. And this, of course, this is stage 4 lung cancer.
