It happens and particularly when the chemo suppresses the immune system or precipitates organ failure and most particularly renal and hepatic..

That’s why I said ‘usually’ doesn’t under ‘normal’ treatment......I doubt the treatment he’s getting is the norm since this is so aggressive and the prognosis so very poor...they’re going to throw everything they can at it.
Must be nice to be able to get the best doctors he can find.
Same with my mom.... and best friends husband who had brain cancer. Not hospitalized until close to the end.
But who knows really...He’s a Senator with ‘Gold Card’ Insurance....so he can pop in and out on a dime if he wants.
I doubt that’s going to be too helpful in his case......it’s a nasty and deadly cancer which he’s just not going to survive from. The sooner he goes the better for the family as it’s a really rough thing to see as this type of brain cancer progresses.
Very few good outcomes with this type cancer. The doctors probably won’t matter. The point I was making was he gets to choose the best doctors. A choice most of us don’t get because of the insurance system he forced upon us. He will even get experimental treatment which us deplorables will never be allowed to get. So sick of the double standards.
I predict he croaks before he’s executed for sedition
I understand.....
One of the reasons I like Trump so much is he made his fortune in life ‘before’ he took office... unlike so many other politicians who go into office to rape the American people....for a lifetime.... as mcain has.
1. I sympathize with your history - and (almost) wish it were not McCain’s fate.
2. Interesting that McCain can go into a hospital right before the tax bill vote..... Going to committee is important, but the REAL VOTE is on the final bill.
3. And would it not be dramatic for him to either force it dead (by not showing up at all!!), or by “voting from a wheelchair/hospital bed as the “final no vote” (of his “heroic public career” - as would be proclaimed by his adoring national press corpse.)
I just read up on it, and saw a video, all I can say is wow, I had heard of something in this arena, this must be it. I hear great things about Rituximab from someone who just took the therapy. Can Rituximab be used for what McCain has, I don't believe so...
I’m not sure I believe anything he or his aides tell us... about anything. I’ll just leave it at that.
EXACTLY! & I could care less - he needs to resign and spend time with his family.
the 19 th is 6 months
I think he should be in prison for his role in the "dossier" which in my mind was sedition.
It used to be that hanging was a “side effect” of treason.
It would be just our rotten luck for McCain to be among the 2%.
Would Joe Six Pack get the benefit of being hospitalized for “normal” side effects of cancer treatment?
