Radio host Michael Savage took to social media earlier this week for comments following Rush Limboff’s emotional cancer update.
“Limboff cries about his broadcast cancer! The worst 15 minutes in radio history!” Savage wrote on Twitter. “Spread a big coffee on the counter and on the floor. I promise my audience this – I won’t pull you with me! Greetings Rush, but stop and leave the stage with pride.”
“Compare this to Yankee Stadium’s Ge Gehrig,” he added.
Kirker-strict Rush Limbag says he can’t do it any longer under ‘Death Sentence’
Limboff announced in February that he had been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer.
On Monday, he provided his listeners with a vague update about his condition after a recent scan showed “some progress in cancer”, which he said was “not dramatic” but a step in the wrong direction.
“Every day you get diagnosed, there’s a part of you every day, that’s right, life is over, you never know,” Limbohe said. “So, during the post-diagnosis period, do what you can to prolong life, do what you can to prolong a happy life. You can measure a happy life against whatever medicine you take. ”
“It’s hard to understand that the days where I don’t think I’m under the death penalty are over.”
Savage’s comments drew a strong response from users on social media.
“As a nurse practitioner, working in bone marrow transplants, her updates are uplifting and stunning. Many patients are unable to voice their true feelings and I will help others with her words in the battle of their lives.”
