    John McCain Diagnosed With Brain Cancer

    Days after John McCain had a blood clot removed from his eye, on Wednesday afternoon his office announced that the Senator has been diagnosed with brain cancer. According to a statement from the office, the tumor was revealed after surgery to remove blood clot, adding that "scanning done since the procedure (a minimally invasive craniotomy with an eyebrow incision) shows that the tissue of concern was completely resected by imaging criteria."
    The office added that "the Senator and his family are reviewing further treatment options with his Mayo Clinic care team. Treatment options may include a combination of chemotherapy and radiation."
    The statement also notes that "the Senator's doctors say he is recovering from his surgery 'amazingly well' and his underlying health is excellent."
    Full statement below:


    STATEMENT FROM THE OFFICE OF SENATOR JOHN McCAIN

    "On Friday, July 14, Sen. John McCain underwent a procedure to remove a blood clot from above his left eye at Mayo Clinic Hospital in Phoenix. Subsequent tissue pathology revealed that a primary brain tumor known as a glioblastoma was associated with the blood clot.

    "Scanning done since the procedure (a minimally invasive craniotomy with an eyebrow incision) shows that the tissue of concern was completely resected by imaging criteria.

    "The Senator and his family are reviewing further treatment options with his Mayo Clinic care team. Treatment options may include a combination of chemotherapy and radiation.

    "The Senator's doctors say he is recovering from his surgery 'amazingly well' and his underlying health is excellent."

    The office of Senator John McCain also released the following statement:

    "Senator McCain appreciates the outpouring of support he has received over the last few days. He is in good spirits as he continues to recover at home with his family in Arizona. He is grateful to the doctors and staff at Mayo Clinic for their outstanding care, and is confident that any future treatment will be effective. Further consultations with Senator McCain's Mayo Clinic care team will indicate when he will return to the United States Senate."

    Wow, I didn't know that he had a brain! Obviously the best course of action here would be a lobotomy.

    Doctors still aren't clear whether McCain is suffering from a cancerous tumor growth, or the tumor is suffering from a cancerous McCain growth.

    Meeting with ISIS may have forced the cancer into overdrive.

    As much as I cannot stand McCain, his policies, his non-stop thirst for blood and war, his undying support for the War on Drugs and War on Terror, I wish him and his family then best. Cancer sucks DICK regardless of who gets it!

    I'm sure that the orphans in countless countries affected by the foreign policy that he helped orchestrate wish him a speedy recovery.

    I don't know what has killed more people, McCain or cancer.
    A sense of danger gives birth to fear. And fear is the time-honored cross for the crucifixion of liberty.

Because of your dedication to smaller government and restoring more of our personal liberties, I am proud to endorse your campaign for the U.S. Senate."
