Cancer Announcements of Rush Limbaugh and Jeff Bridges

Very somber news.

Since I was in Gallup yesterday morning to vote and attend to other errands, I missed Rush Limbaugh's announcement of his health status until I got back home. 

Fox News reported:

Cancer-stricken talk radio legend Rush Limbaugh provided listeners a somber update on his condition Monday after recent scans showed “some progression of cancer,” which he said is “not dramatic” but still a step in the wrong direction. 

Limbaugh announced in February that he was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer and had missed several shows this month to undergo treatment.  

“From the moment you get the diagnosis, there’s a part of you every day, OK, that’s it, life’s over, you just don’t know when,” Limbaugh said. “So, during the period of time after the diagnosis, you do what you can to prolong life, do what you can to prolong a happy life. You measure a happy life against whatever medication it takes.” 

Hopefully, his doctors can modify his treatment to bring the cancer back into some kind of control.

Speaking of cancer, actor Jeff Bridges yesterday announced that he has lymphoma. That was the kind of cancer that took my dad's life back on December 15, 1999.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Rush and Jeff.
