Rush Limbaugh has told his audience he has lung cancer

I bet nobody was surprised, which sounds like they could fix it or do whatever they can to help people beat cancer. I m not a smoker myself but I have worked with people that are, can't imagine how much money she spend on packs that would be 2 to 3 packs a day. Walt Disney was also a a chainsmoker, and he died of lung cancer, and he was a life long smoker, but to keep his imagine and his studio family friendly he did his best o make sure not never been seen smoking even by children, and people even through in the movie Saving Mr. Banksm, you see the aftermath of a smoking session. I have no idea how many packs he would smoke a day. it sure how much if at all Rush Limebaugh is a smoker or not, since he announced he has advanced lung cancer. Ut did they tell your mother or any of you how long they thought she would live, that led to her living to 6 days after they had told her?

They did not give her any specific estimate of how long she'd last to my knowledge. She turned
down any desperate Hail Mary treatments. She actually fell into a coma 2 days after diagnosis and died 4 days later.

Limbaugh used to smoke cigarettes (he uses the phrase "formerly nicotine-stained fingers" often). And he was, probably up until the point of diagnosis, a cigar aficionado.

They tell people who quit that within a couple of years your lungs return to a state like you'd never smoked.
That was not the case for my grandfather obviously.

Rush smoked cigars and used to say he had the right to do it. That's the way I remember it.

Oh, my mom was a militant smoker.

I mean, MILITANT smoker! You had better not even suggest that it might be good if she'd quit.
And God Forbid that the GOVERNMENT did anything to get in the way of her smoking or there would be
HELL to pay! That was one of her favorite things about Rush was that he agreed with her on this.

When I get all fired-up and ornery over something political I'm channeling my mom's personality.
 
Everything happened perfectly. I would not normally have been in the car at 2:00 listening to Rush. He started the hour by referring to the song we were hearing right now. He said Chrissie Hynde was in the news because she wrote Trump saying how much her father would have loved it that Rush was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and how she wishes her father had been alive to see Trump as president because he would have loved that.

Rush went on to describe the story behind the song. He didn't say how he chose it but said the introduction was repeated in a loop to make it long enough to be the show's theme song, and he actually played a few seconds of Chrissie Hynde singing so we could hear what the song was about. He said in the early 90s the publishing company tried to stop him from using the song and he did have to stop for several weeks but Hynde persuaded the company to let Rush use it, since her father loved the show. She and her father disagreed, of course, but isn't that what America is all about? She was saying we can disagree without hating each other.

She might have know n she was in her last days, or didn't think the treatments would do any good, 2 days later in a coma then another 4 before her time came. THroguth it was I had seen that he smoked cigars, but he di have a right to comes if he wanted to.
