Conservative radio legend Rush Limbaugh offered listeners an update on his battle with cancer calling every day a “gift.” The icon was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer in February but has been facing the battle with strength and resilience. While updating listeners on his health Limbaugh said, “Every day remains a gift. You know, I wake up every morning, and I think God I did.”
Though Limbaugh is doing well despite the circumstances the radio icon told listeners he would most likely be forced to take some days off in the future for “rest” or other unforeseen “medical challenges.”
Townhall reports:
“But the fact that I’m able to get back here and be with you is a genuine blessing, and I appreciate it and I appreciate your understanding throughout all of this,” he added. “As we say, everything’s day-to-day, and especially in the circumstances I find myself in.”
The radio host, who was awarded the Medal of Freedom during President Trump’s State of the Union address this year, wanted fans to know that on days he has to take off, he wishes he could be with them: “And that when those days occur, that I will do what I can to get back as quickly as is possible.”

Limbaugh told listeners his strength now rests in his faith in Jesus Christ.
“I try to remain committed to the idea what’s supposed to happen, will happen when it’s meant to,” he said. “I mentioned at the outset of this — the first day I told you — that I have personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is of immense value, strength, confidence, and that’s why I’m able to remain fully committed to the idea that what is supposed to happen will happen when it’s meant to.”
Since Limbaugh’s diagnosis in February there has been an outpouring of support for the radio host.
President Trump tweeted, “Many people do not know what a great guy & fantastic political talent the great Rush Limbaugh is. There is nobody like him. Looking for a speedy recovery for our friend!”
