"If you don't have nothing good to say ..... John McCain has brain cancer"

Just gonna keep my $.02 to myself.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/19/health/gupta-mccain-glioblastoma/index.html?adkey=bn


(CNN)Sen. John McCain, 80, has been diagnosed with a primary glioblastoma, a type of brain tumor, Mayo Clinic doctors directly involved in the senator's care told CNN exclusively. The doctors spoke directly to CNN Chief Medical Correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

The senator underwent surgery to remove a blood clot on Friday at Mayo Clinic Hospital in Phoenix. Lab results from that surgery confirmed the presence of glioblastoma associated with the blood clot.

Glioblastoma is a particularly aggressive tumor that forms in the tissue of the brain and spinal cord, according to the American Brain Tumor Association.
A pathologist was in the operating room during the procedure, a minimally invasive craniotomy with an eyebrow incision, said his doctor, who added that the surgery lasted about three to four hours. Post-surgical brain scans show the tissue causing concern has been completely removed.

John McCain Fast Facts
McCain is recovering "amazingly well," according to a statement from his office.

The senator showed no neurological problems before or after the operation, said his doctors. Though not identified by name, at McCain's request, his doctors were given permission speak with Gupta, who is also a practicing neurosurgeon.

McCain is now recovering at his Arizona home. He and his family are considering treatment options, which will likely include radiation and chemotherapy, his doctors said.

Routine exam


Doctors discovered the clot during a routine physical exam last week. They said he is very diligent about coming in for scheduled exams and is seen every four months for skin checks due to his history of skin cancer.

He arrived at his early morning appointment, Friday before 8 a.m. and as per usual, looked good, according to a doctor who has been involved in his care for nearly a decade. McCain, described as not being a complainer, did report feeling fatigued, which he attributed to a rigorous travel schedule.

He also told his doctor he had, at times, felt foggy and not as sharp as he typically is. In addition, he reported having double vision. These symptoms and doctor intuition prompted a CT scan.

When the results came back, McCain, who had already left the clinic, was asked to return for an MRI. Before the operation, his neurological exam was normal, according to his doctor.

The operation began in the late afternoon and the senator was recovering in the ICU by evening. His doctors told Gupta they were amazed at how sharp McCain was when he awoke. He knew what year it was and started cracking jokes. He also made it clear that he wanted to leave the hospital and get back to work, his doctors said.

Showing no signs of cognitive delays, McCain was discharge Saturday and has been recovering at his home since then.

His doctors would not reveal details but said his post operative care is standard.

'Aggressive tumor'


His doctor said McCain was oriented, with good balance and no headaches or seizures.

The clot was over the senator's left eye, not far from the left temple where he was diagnosed with melanoma in 2000. Previously, McCain had three other malignant melanomas removed in 1993, 2000 and 2002. None of these melanomas were invasive. All were declared Stage 0.

However, McCain has been regularly screened by his doctors since 2000.

Gupta was one of a select group of reporters who reviewed McCain's medical records in 2008 when he was campaigning for president.

McCain's blood clot may be more significant than first thought
The surgical procedure McCain underwent is "a significant operation," said Gupta, explaining that a bone underneath the eyebrow had to be removed to do the procedure and then later put back.

"It's a very aggressive tumor," said Gupta. He explained that survival for malignant glioblastoma tends to be around 14 months with treatment, which could not begin until the incision heals, which would be in the next three or four weeks.

However, a 2009 study reported that almost 10% of patients with glioblastoma may live five years or longer, according to the American Brain Tumor Association.
"This is the same tumor that Ted Kennedy had," said Gupta.

McCain's diagnosis is the latest chapter in a storied life. Tortured as a Vietnam prisoner-of-war, the maverick politician fell short of the pinnacle of politics with two failed presidential runs. His absence from Washington in recent days has come at a politically inopportune time for a bill repealing and replacing Obamacare. This week, McCain broke ranks and called for discussions with Democrats and a full committee process to finally provide "Americans with access to quality and affordable health care."

He's a crazy Republican who's against most sane policies.

But I wish he'd just be at home healthy.

McCain in turn vocalized complaints but confirmed 19/21 of his appointees, including Gorsuch, supported the health care bill, and got his wife a job as an ambassador in this administration.

I can respect your choice to respect him but to lionize him due to his words when his behavior directly conflicts that is misleading.

I think all politicians have some things that are egregious. I don't feel as if this is the place to expand on his. But I did want to interject in an incomplete narrative. It's ok to recognize you care about the well being of another human without making a myth out of them. And that's what I wanted to point out.

They always come out in front of the cameras on some "I don't like what the president is up to....."

But when it comes time to do something, they just carry his water.

I'm not glad he has cancer and I hate what he and his family will go through. But we don't have to pretend he's something other than what he's proven himself to be either.

Only question now is if this will overshadow his unleashing of Srah Palin upon the rest of America for his defining achievement.

Though I guess there's always the Keating Five and that time he wanted a bunch of bikers to bang his wife.

Just voted to allow the debate to continue, but won't be voting for the bill because it sucks. That was a pretty great bit of "wake the fuck up" that is long overdue.

He gave that speech today knowing good and well he had been doing and will continue to do whatever the party leader tells him to do.

He's been criticising the healthcare bill process in front of the cameras for months. But when asked what he's going to do about it, he has no answer.

I hate that he had to get sick like this. But in terms of governing, I think he's one of the worst types. The fake like you have some principles type

the fact that we're entertaining a pity party for a dude who ran for office in his late 70s and gets premium free health care while refusing to support decent standards of care, standards of living, and preventative care for everyone else is the fucking problem.

his children's generation are on track to have shorter lifespans than his. shame.

Said he will be voting against the bill because it is horrible. If the vote to continue to debate failed, then the debacle of repeal only would have gone forward.
Also more or less said he won't vote for anything just because the President tells him to.

Doesn't mean he won't vote for it. He could've voted against the motion to continue if he actually had a problem.

And when has he actually stood up to Trump in a meaningful way? he literally risked his life to vote the way Trump wanted him to TODAY.

Either by suffocating the marketplace or gutting it through this legislation, they are effectively destroying it on purpose one way or the other. I would rather them do this in public with recorded commentary and accountability than the chicken shit way they got to this point. The 40+ million new uninsured people need to know exactly who and how they were left behind, doing it this way versus the slow and faceless death defunding was causing is better.

Made sure to complain in this eloquent speech about the Democrats "ramming" through the ACA in the first place. You know, the legislation they debated for 10 months and let the Repugs add a ton of dipshit ammendments to. As opposed to this abortion, which the Republicans are forcing through without letting anyone know what they're actually voting for or letting the CBO score it. What a hypocritical tool.

They're friends with him and were cheering that his recovery is happening - not that he was voting to throw 10s of millions off of insurance.

I see your point - and McCain is an awful awful person you can see why they did it.

Yep, sounds about right for the 2017 version of conservatives.

*switches sides after dealing with insert topic*

Big shouts to all the conservatives getting fucked over by Trump after voting for him. Your rage tears are greatly appreciated.

I'm trying not to slander McCain over this but it's hard. It's someone somewhere that's going to die over not receiving medical care for brain cancer due to Republicans like McCain voting to repeal Obamacare.
