JOHN MCCAIN....A GUY WITH A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR and much humility. Total class act.
Arizona Senator John McCain has brain cancer. The 80-year-old was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor following surgery to remove a blood clot above his left eye. They are saying its a glioblastoma a which is the worst kind of aggressive form of cancer.
So they are figuring out treatment options, including chemotherapy and radiation. This really sucks as McCain is a good guy, he is one of the only ones left who isnt a butt sucking whiney baby that blows whatever way the kickbacks come. He actually stands up for what he/his constituents believe despite and political blowback from fellow repubs. He was held as a prisoner of war for over five years before being freed in 1973. McCain was the Republican nominee for president in 2008, eventually losing to former President Obama.
Reaction to the news has been swift – and it’s come from both sides of the aisle. President Trump has sent well wishes from him and wife Melania. On Twitter, former President Obama called McCain “an American hero” and one of the “bravest fighters he's ever known.” Obama, who faced McCain in the 2008 presidential race, added, quote – "cancer doesn't know what it's up against. Give it hell, John." Hillary Clinton said via Twitter that McCain is "as tough as they come" and that she's thinking of the senator and his family. McCain's running mate in the 2008 presidential race Sarah Palin said she knows he'll face his cancer diagnosis with “courage and strength.”
