BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Lake Worth, Florida. Not far from here. This is Tony, I'm glad you waited. Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program. Hi.

CALLER: Hi, Rush. What an honor. Something interesting before I start. You know, I've tried to call your show so many times, never got through, and today it's your Cure-A-Thon, and I happen to have CLL leukemia and got through, so there has to be some special meaning in that. I wanted to thank you personally and your audience, and maybe put a face on this disease and let your audience know how grateful people like me are for what they do.

RUSH: Well, that's very, very nice of you, Tony. One problem with throwing around all these numbers, is that numbers on radio are tough to follow. It's up to a talented host to make sense of 'em, and I certainly qualify. However, when you start talking about the numbers of millions of people with cancer, it's a statistic, but one person, when you know them, then it's a tragedy, right? And that's you.

CALLER: Absolutely. Absolutely. Well, Rush, you know, like you said earlier, my whole life changed on a dime during a routine blood test, which led to a bone marrow, which discovered that I had this disease.

RUSH: Did you have any symptoms? Why did you get the blood test?

CALLER: None, Rush. None at that time.

RUSH: So just a routine blood test as part of a checkup?

CALLER: Routine blood test, yes. Many people, Rush, with CLL find out through a routine blood test early on. That's the way it's usually detected.

RUSH: How are you being treated, Tony?

CALLER: Well, most CLL patients go into what they call a watch-and-wait for a period of time, and you feel like as that time is going by, that you're hoping that something will turn out positive. And what happened to me was I'm a patient at MD Anderson in Houston, a wonderful hospital, and a couple of months ago my leukemia started to give some red flags to the doctors there, and they decided to put me into a clinical trial on two drugs together that have never been combined before. One is Rituximab and the other one is called Revlimid. I'm going into my third month. So far, so good. My white count was 80,000 or better, and just in two months it's down to 13,000. The clinical trial is giving some hope to me.

RUSH: Congratulations. We love hearing this kind of stat, and it's a testament to the great work that's being done throughout the country because of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Thanks, Tony.
