He was able to have this surgery because of his health insurance.
Median survival rate for a glioblastoma in a middle-aged man is about 11 months (Ted Kennedy lasted about that long). McCain is 80. This is assuming it hasn't yet metastasized and that it is correctly identified and not some non-brain cancer local to the brain [initial diagnoses are often incorrect about the specific pathology]. My guess would be he'll be gone this year.
According to the blurb at the top of the cnn website it was an aggressive tumor that was removed and the same type Ted Kennedy had.
Please. Nobody knew at the time.
Wishing him a speedy recovery.
Glioblastoma, that's the most aggressive form of brain cancer. Combined with his age and the already extremely low survival rate, his chance of survival isn't good
Yeah. Feel bad for him but hopefully he could use his experience to make his peers understand it.‪I hope he gets the treatment that he needs and that he learns how important health insurance is to those with cancer.‬
No, it's the first available. So both Senators likely up for re-election in 2018.Which he was just re-elected in November. So would that be the 2022 election?
High five!Woah, I have a neuro nurse wife, too!
Not in the brain so not really her field sadly, sorry.What are the worst ones? Where does peritoneum cancer rank? (Asking for personal reasons)
Do we all look like fucking fortune tellers to you or what? Nobody knew then, man.Which is precisely why people saying harsh stuff in the order thread was so damn deplorable.

Pretty doubtful. The other Arizona Senator is Cotton, and he's a hardliner tea partier.

I don't feel bad for my sentiments at all. Sucks he has cancer, but sucks even more he's fallen in line with a white supremacist and is hell-bent on stripping insurance from millions.Which is precisely why people saying harsh stuff in the order thread was so damn deplorable.

He won re-election in 2016 so if he steps down for health reasons it's special election time, but given that he carried that seat by double digits I wouldn't expect it to swing by enough to favor a democratic candidate.

So goddamn petty. Cmon y'all.He was able to have this surgery because of his health insurance.
Yep. What moral high ground do people think hey have when they act like this
The type he is diagnosed with is not good.Yeesh.
Can he really recover(or just delay) from brain cancer at his age?

Wish him the best. Cancer needs to be eliminated ASAP. Is such a thing possible? Maybe not, but one can dream.
I wonder if his odd behavior is what prompted the check.
So goddamn petty. Cmon y'all.
