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.

Posted a few days ago that we’d likely seen the last of him. Prayers for peace in Christ for him and his family.

McCain has been a traitor against conservatism for years. I’ll go feel sorry for someone else with cancer, someone who has not helped liberals ruin America for years.

That explains a lot! Prayers and hope you have a long happy retirement.

Take the blue pill...

Sorry but McCain is waaaaaay down on my thoughts and prayers list between Hillary and obama

[Political Junkie Too]

Who's going to tell Lindsey?

He is a veteran. There’s a VA hospital in Arizona that’s FAMOUS for its attention to waiting lists. He may want to get on the list ASAP.

Just had an uncle die from the disease. Its a horrible death. Praying that he dies quickly with pain management. Any prayers for length of life is cruel.

I agree with you. It is a blessing when they die.

[sauropod]

I am truly sorry for your loss. I grieve with you.

He'll be meeting his Maker soon. I pray he doesn't greet God with the same derisive attitude with which he greeted us "whacko birds" and "hobbits". That mistake would dwarf the one he made with us.

I hate McCain’s quisling politics as much as any man, but I wouldn’t wish that on anyone ... except maybe Nancy Pelosi ... or Al Gore ... or Chuck Schumer ... or that obama guy ... or ...

Ever since he trashed 3-4 planes and was Keating #6.....

Juan has been a malignant Senator for decades.

Have a friend who died at age 39 from this.
Didn’t even look like him when he passed, wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.
The treatment was very aggressive & he was young! Can’t imagine the toll it will take on 80 year old.

“Another thread with over 360 comments”

I put in a few ‘colorful’ postings on that thread.

All I will say here is that he won’t be getting any prayers from me, given his record as a REPUBLICAN Senator.

CAR-T cell therapy has had some success against Glioblastoma in clinical trials. Maybe he could qualify for a trial.

Well aren’t you a good Christian. Bless your heart.

“Praying also that Lindsey Graham has a black dress ready since he is about to be a widow.”

Funny.

I wonder if Sarah has made an official statement yet addressing the health of her loyal, stalwart, and oh-so-supportive running mate. {s}

The majority of FReepers don’t actually READ Free Republic.

So, this is what happens.

I am sorry for him and his family, but the way he's been acting? I thought it had to be either Alzheimer's OR a Brain Tumor
