John McCain - terminal brain cancer

Sen. John McCain revealed Wednesday that he has a primary brain tumor. The cancer was discovered during cranial surgery last week to remove a blood clot above his left eye. In a statement from Mayo Clinic, McCain's doctors described the tumor as a glioblastoma.
The American Brain Tumor Association describes glioblastoma tumors as typically malignant and difficult to treat because they contain many types of cells.
“It’s a very aggressive tumor,” said Dr. Joseph Zabramski, a neurosurgeon at Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix not involved in McCain's treatment. “In general, it is a tumor that has relentless force. You can slow it down but not stop it.
This is sad news, regardless of your political affiliation. Make no mistake, this is a terminal form of cancer and at best Senator McCain has not much more than two years to live, and it could be much shorter. The nature of the cancer is also one that will likely effect McCain's cognitive abilities, probably rather quickly. His departure from the Senate is inevitable at this point, and at the age of eighty will probably happen sooner rather than later.

Note: for those of you who only see the potential political ramifications: Under Arizona law the Governor (a Republican)  would appoint someone to fill McCain's seat until the next general election (where a special election would be held to serve out the remainder of his term). That "could" conceivably mean that there would be two Arizona Senate seats open in 2018.

Does not look good for the McCain family. Thoughts and prayers for them.

Now back to cold politics.

It's a forgone conclusion that McCain will not run for reelection next year.

The question is will he be able to perform his duties as senator and if not will he resign his seat so the governor can appoint another Republican to take his place.

The majority in the senate is so tight that they cannot afford a long absences from McCain.

Something will have to give.

Those are the cold hard facts, however, given this Republican so called controlled Senate and house has sucked.

I go back to Hillary , the woman that should be President if only we elected the President under different rules, when she said.


"what difference does it make"

I thought, hoped this group of so called Republicans could have moved the country off of welfare and more back to capitalism, I know now, that is never going to happen, Socialist WON the Swamp of DC is too deep.

Dear Alky, it is too funny to see you whine like the little weak sissy you are about name calling. Really, Kputz.


Ok and for Mr. OnDopie , I saw you post in error many times about the US Debt, first Obama moved it to 25 Trillion National Debt, he left the grenade thrower Madam Yellen to do as much damage to the middle income earner as she can and she has delivered, with Higher Rates on loans across the board and her dumping Federal Reserve Debt onto the backs of the middle income earner. Please learn.

Very sad, the only con that puts country first, rather than party. I would have voted for him except for Sarah.....who remains a zero and I'll never figure out who thought she was an asset;

He has been saying that the two parties should now work together to improve healthcare. Something that 74% of the American people also now want.

Most Want GOP to Work with Democrats on Health Care

A new Fox News poll finds 74% of Americans want GOP lawmakers to reach out to Democrats and try to find a compromise on a new health care bill. That includes 86% of Democrats and 59% of Republicans.

I'm 55-year-old from Korean, I was diagnosed with second-stage liver cancer following a scheduled examination to monitor liver cirrhosis. I had lost a lot of weight. A CT scan revealed three tumors; one in the center of my liver in damaged tissue and two in healthy portions of my liver. No chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment was prescribed due to my age, the number of liver tumors. One month following my diagnosis I began taking 12 (350 point) Salvestrol supplements per day, commensurate with my body weight. This comprised six Salvestrol Shield (350 point) capsules and six Salvestrol Gold (350 point) capsules, spread through the day by taking two of each capsule after each main meal. This level of Salvestrol supplementation (4,000 points per day) was maintained for four months. In addition, I began a program of breathing exercises, chi exercises, meditation, stretching and stress avoidance. Due to the variety of conditions that I suffered from, I received ongoing medical examinations. Eleven months after commencing Salvestrol supplementation But all invalid so I keep searching for a herbal cure online that how I came across a testimony appreciating Dr Itua on how he cured her HIV/Herpes, I contacted him through email he listed above, Dr Itua sent me his herbal medicine for cancer to drink for two weeks to cure I paid him for the delivering then I received my herbal medicine and drank it for two weeks and I was cured until now I'm all clear of cancer, I will advise you to contact Dr Itua Herbal Center On Email...drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com.
