EIB Family,

Many of you, more than I can count, are sending emails asking me for a health update. “You haven’t spoken about your treatment lately. What’s going on?”

Let me remind you, I told you at the beginning of this that I’m very flattered by all the support and grateful to all of you who care. Don’t misunderstand. But I vowed not to let this take control of my life. It’s hard not to. It’s a terminal disease for a lot of people. It takes over your life. I’m determined to not let that happen, as much as I can. Besides, who wants to listen to somebody talk about cancer treatment all the time?

There’s another thing. If the left is willing to make up the ridiculous lie that I claimed the coronavirus was invented by the Deep State to use against the President — can you imagine what they would do if I went into detail on this? I don’t even want to give them a window to “investigate” and start making things up.

All I will tell you is this. I get treated every day at 1 p.m., within a five-minute window at the top of the hour, at the Southern Command, and then again at 11 p.m. Then four times a week I have to do something else, which I’m not going to describe or explain, but it’s ongoing.

It’s too soon to know anything yet, although I’m extremely optimistic about it for a host of reasons, not the least of which — and I mean this from the bottom of my heart — is all of you.

I believe God is good. I believe there is good in everything that happens. It’s not good for me that I have contracted this, but there’s good in it. There’s good in it maybe for other people who might be inspired to change their lives, so they don’t get it. There’s good in everything if you just look for it. And ultimately there’s going to be good in it for me.

It already has been good for me. The outpouring of love and affection that I have received is unlike anything I’ve ever dreamed of or experienced. So you just have to try to stay positive, you have to try not to panic, you have to try to do the best you can with, in my case, what is learned about the specifics of what I have. Then deal with it using the latest available treatment, adapt, and try to establish as normal an existence as you can and not be dominated by it.

That’s why I don’t issue status reports every day because one, I don’t want to do it, and two, I don’t want to have that become what the program is. It wouldn’t be fair to bleed on all of you every day about this. Your ongoing support means more than I can ever dream about. And when there’s more to tell, up or down, then I will tell you.

I will tell you this. I have stopped the rapid weight loss. That’s a big, positive thing. Now, that could end next week, you never know. But I take positives wherever I can get them. I’ve got to be very careful because things can change, but I believe the prayers are working.

But there have been days when I got up and said, “Gosh, I can’t do it.” I’ve tried to not artificially push myself every day as a sign of toughness. Rather, I’ve tried to push myself every day because this is what I love doing. It is my natural, normal, happy state and place. Still, some days I push through a long three hours of show prep and, jeez, I can barely stay awake. But the program starts, the microphone goes on, and magic happens.

And when the show is over, I decompress like you can’t believe. There will be days when I’ll cave to it and not be behind the Golden eib Microphone, and when that happens, just chalk it up to fatigue, because that’s the primary thing I have to deal with.

A recent caller told me he feels better when I’m on the air. Well, I feel better when I’m here, too! Everything’s just normal when I’m here.
