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.

Do we have to pray for him to recover? Can’t we just pray that God’s Will be done?

I’m certain his ultra special too-good-for-commoners CongressCare health insurance will cover it.

Wow, he’s finished. Read this.....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glioblastoma

“Despite maximum treatment, the cancer usually recurs.[3] The most common length of survival following diagnosis is 12 to 15 months, with fewer than 3% to 5% of people surviving longer than five years.”

It was his time to get out of the Senate after his first term. Why he kept getting reelected is beyond me. This guy has been in office for THIRTY years!!!

Hopefully he finds peace with The Lord.

Like I just wrote the other day: What could have been.

Now he needs to retire and spend his last few moments in peace.

I like the sound of “Senator Jan Brewer”.

McCain should get on his knees and pray for forgiveness for being a traitor, a liar, and a thief. Maybe, just maybe, that tumor won’t be roasted in the fiery Hell to which it is currently headed.

My wife’s Mom died of this crap. We watched the poor lady waste away to nothing before thankfully God took her. She suffered like a dog. I DON”T like McScream one stinking bit, but I would not wish this on anyone!! Some of you folks need to get yourselves in front of a mirror and be thankful that you are not in his boat. You might get what you are making comments about.

We do not like McCain at all, but prayed for him and the family in our devotions last night. Will continue to do so.

This story is FULL of FAKE news.

It starts out as an eyebrow blood clot removal and ends up as brain surgery for a malignant brain tumor with tentacles!

4% survival rate after 5 years = bend over and kiss your A$$ goodbye.

I hate to see anyone get brain cancer, but if someone has to get it ......

If he was in Great Britain an EU judge or death panel would be saying too bad, so sad no more treatment for you a la Charlie Gard

You forget: Senator McCain is on America's nomenklatura. They are exempt from death panels.

I cannot stand John McCain. IMHO, he gave away the POTUS slot to traitor POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama in 2008 and, he is certainly a “Trump Hater”, 100%!!! However, I wish him and his family the best, and will pray for his survival and long life.

I know, only too well, the devastation that any type of cancer brings forth, to both the victim and the family. I wish that horrible health situation on no one!!!

I, do, however, urge Senator, John McCain to resign from his position as the senior Senator from Arizona and, outright urge the present Governor of Arizona to immediately appoint Ms. Kelly Ward as, John McCain’s replacement!!!

The evil, hate and envy that resides in John McCain, is sad for a man who has given so much to his country, and it is not for me to speak ill of him in his illness. That destiny lies only in the hands of our Lord, God Almighty!!!

It is worth remembering, that at the end of the day, we human beings are answerable to only God Almighty.

The way to get rid of a John McCain is by waking up the voters to his duplicity.

Not like this.
