U.S. Sen. John McCain revealed Wednesday evening that he has a brain tumor.
The announcement follows a procedure to remove a blood clot from above his left eye at the Mayo Clinic Hospital in Phoenix last Friday, where a pathology report revealed the glioblastoma, a malignant brain tumor.
Treatment options may include a combination of chemotherapy and radiation.

Hopefully He will, because I cannot engage in this.
This kind of reminds me when some artists dies, and no one said a single word about him 20 years before his death, but the day after his death he was the greatest person who ever lived and the finest artist of all time.
Can’t do it.
And I raised my kids to be people of the book too, but God didn’t stay as true to us as we do to Him
And that is exactly what the LORD EXPECTS!!!! us to do. That is our responsibility. We pray for our leaders, whether we like them or not. We pray they will change, make better decisions, but most of all SEEK HIS WILL FOR their lives as leaders and human beings. That is what we are compelled to do. Paul makes that clear in his letters.
“He should resign...”
Ok - so what do we know about Doug Ducey - Arizona’s Guv?
If McCain steps down (as he should), Ducey gets to name the interim replacement - correct?
More likely to get McSally, another Cheap Labor Express Republican.
Graham becomes the senior and takes Marco Rubio under his wing.
Brewer is no longer Governor
So sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing.
RE McCain:
What he has is a killer. There’s no cure. They’ll operate, it comes back, operate again, it comes back, and each time a little more of him goes away. A doctor was on the afternoon radio today (WPHT 1210am) and explained it.
It’s not a good way to end.
Were I him, I’d be spending every minute with family.
I’ll leave the politics aside. You all know my thoughts regarding him, and I won’t pretend otherwise.
I believe the doctor said this is the same thing Teddy Kennedy had.
I appreciate that. So far she’s not uncomfortable, just weak and tired. She’s finished her chemo and radiation, for now, and we’re just waiting for the swelling to go down before doing the next MRI. I’m hoping she regains some mobility, because right now she uses a rollator to walk, or we just use the wheelchair, and she sleeps 12 or more hours a day.
You’re right...at best they ‘might’ slow it down but nothing’s going to cure this. No easy answers for the family in going ahead with treatment which is no picnic.
Not only did Ted Kennedy have this...but Joe Biden’s son died from this as well.
....”If it’s a grade 4 GBM then he won’t last long”.....
It is 4GBM.
I’m glad it helped. My heart goes out to you both. She is very fortunate to have you as a friend.
I have not heard the term “Glioblastoma” before now. Always just “tumor”. Apparently, it is a very aggressive form of cancer in the brain.
Terrible thing. Worse if you get it at Biden Jr’s age.
PS...BTW The blood clot was directly related to this tumor.
He’s still being “himself”...

Down but not out: McCain sends out blistering statement accusing the Trump administration
A dick to the end, apparently.
Needs immediate chemo therapy. Pentobarbital. Lots of it.
His time as a POW was spent narcing out his fellow POW’s, and participating on Tokyo Rose.
He is a traitor through and through.
He can ESAD.
