McCain ending brain cancer treatment
The Hill ^ | August 24, 2018 | JORDAIN CARNEY

Posted on 08/24/2018 8:27:07 AM PDT by Albion Wilde

"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. With his usual strength of will, he has now chosen to discontinue medical treatment," McCain's family said in a statement released by his office.

In my experience, it is likely hospice has removed the limits on the morphine pump. John will be able to punch out anytime he chooses.

“Waiting to see as media spins this into a Trump story. I have to say that fortunately, tactlessness is not a crime.”

They are going to spin National Enquirer spiking of Trump stories as illegal in-kind campaign contributions.

But CNN/Newsweak/etc spiking of the Monica Lewinski story gets a pass.

Just wait.

The message about "...ending treatment.." may have special meaning. If they mean radiation or chemo it could be weeks.

If they stop giving him corticosteroids to reduce brain swelling he could go in days maybe hours.

Interesting, this little man will stop his medical treatment but doesn’t have the character to resign his senate seat so someone else can actually represent Arizona. What a pathetic individual.

“Cancer treatment on people over seventy five is a waste of money in most cases...”

I’m over 75 and had kidney cancer. It was removed with the margins clear and have a 95% survival rate. Don’t throw older people away like the Libs.

I’m sorry to hear that. I’m not a fan of his as a Senator, but as a human being, I don’t want to see anyone sick or dying. I don’t root for that.

Remember that we complain when we see the left celebrate one of our people getting sick or dying, so we should do better.

“With his usual strength of will.....”

So he stops his medication “with his usual strength of will”, but doesn’t have the “usual strength of will” to resign, and step aside so someone else can represent with strength of will the people of the State of Arizona, and the United States of America.

Prayers up for him, his family, but I’ll always consider him across the aisle.

That is, if he really had brain cancer to begin with. Or, it might have all been a ruse so No Name could claim "no memory" of his crimes. It's not like No Name has friends at Walter Reed who could cover up for him and fake it.....err...wait. He does.

Just a guess.

But then, No Name would never lie about his medical condition. Right?

I wish Sen. McCain a peaceful passing, and his family has my deepest sympathy.

Pretty sad that you're the exception on this "Christian Conservative" website.

No fan of McCain, but this is a time for prayers for his family.

Tin foil alert...oh so now he’s stopping treatment. Right after President Trump says he’s going to release all the documents? Employing the sympathy shield to avoid criticism when he’s implicated?
