WASHINGTON — Senator John McCain of Arizona, who has been battling brain cancer for more than a year, will no longer be treated for his condition, his family announced on Friday, a sign that the Republican war hero is most likely entering his final days.
“Last summer, Senator John McCain shared with Americans the news our family already knew: He had been diagnosed with an aggressive glioblastoma, and the prognosis was serious. In the year since, John has surpassed expectations for his survival. But the progress of disease and the inexorable advance of age render their verdict,” the family said in a statement. “With his usual strength of will, he has now chosen to discontinue medical treatment.”

Can’t be treated for brain cancer if there is no brain.

Hopefully the family will release a public statement that identifies the person who has been releasing public statements in McCain’s name for the last 6+ months.

Good. He should have resigned months ago so we would have had a functioning senator. A truly hateful person. He will not be missed.

I suspect their will be no open casket as if this ghoul hits sunlight, even while deceased, his corpse might ignite.

My God have mercy on your soul John McCain.

I thought all treatment except palliative had already been stopped around December. Oh well, better ‘Late’ than never.
