(WBAP/KLIF) – Rush Limbaugh has announced on his radio show on WBAP that he has advanced lung cancer.
“I really don’t like talking about myself and I don’t like making things about me,” Limbaugh said as he closed his show on Monday.
Limbaugh said the diagnosis was confirmed by two medical institutions last month. This comes after he realized something was wrong earlier in January.
“This job has provided me the greatest satisfaction and happiness,” Limbaugh said while making the announcement.
Limbaugh said he struggled having to tell his staff prior to the program Monday.
Limbaugh said there will be days in the future that he will not be hosting his show because he will be undergoing treatment and reacting to treatment.
“My intention is to come here everyday I can and do this program as normally and as competently and as expertly as I do each and every day,” Limbaugh said. “That is the source of my greatest satisfaction professionally.”
