Sen. John McCain of Arizona has been found to have Glioblastoma, an aggressive form of Brain Cancer. The cancer was identified after McCain, who is 80, had brain surgery on Friday to remove a blood clot above his left eye.On Thursday, John McCain took it to Twitter to express his gratitude after revealing he’s been diagnosed with brain cancer. The politician tweeted “I greatly appreciate the outpouring of support - unfortunately for my sparring partners in Congress, I'll be back soon, so stand-by!”Stay strong, Maverick!  You've beaten the odds a many a time, Sir, and have literally been thru hell and back....  May God bless you and yours as you now face and tackle this trial....   4951

Johnson McCain has done as much to hurt this country as any far left liberal. He is also a war monger who is all about sending our boys to war. Sorry but I can't send any good wishes to him or any of the crooked globalist polititions helping to destroy this country.

Sen. John McCain was a POW at the notorious Hanoi Hilton for 6 years during Vietnam...If you wonder why his shoulders always look so uncomfortable, it's because he was brutally tortured....  .....For 6 years.... ...So, yeah, no matter if you disagree with his political stances, this man has earned the best Medical Care this Country has to offer....    4951

@2013BreakoutAmen, brother.....  ...And they deserve only the finest, top-notch, world-class care and technology that's available - period........However, that is not what they receive....And I very much hope that Trump cleans house at the VA......Starting at the top, all the way down the line..... My beautiful husband is an Iraq War Veteran (Marine Corp), and we would much rather  pay (and do) and just use his Work Medical Insurance rather than the so-called Free care provided down at Michael DeBakey VA in Houston...It's pretty pathetic down there..... 4951

He isn't receiving top notch care because he is a veteran. He is receiving top care because he is a senator. Let's be real... 4951

Still don't get why he wanted to get rid of meager military pensions and also reduce them by 1%. Only a small percentage earn the retirement, like 15% of 1% of the population. Fairly silly he even wasted time on it and also disturbing him being a Veteran and former POW. He should have been a champion for them. I lost a lot of respect for him on that issue. Not easy getting to the 20 year mark, especially for officers. Very competitive but I think they recently reduced it for officers to 15 being that it was highly unlikely many would make it to 20. Enlisted, better chance but still not easy. 4951

@beastmode:
He also just proposed an anti Jones Act bill. Sorry to hear anyone gets cancer, but this man did not have the best interest of Americans at heart IMO.

I hope he beats it. He has never been for military raises. I don't like his policies and 2013breakout is right , he has always been a war monger. He always wants boots on the ground. I hate that about him. I've never agreed with him on his policies. With that said, I hope he's ok. I wish him no harm. I pray for him and his family.

@allymansfield  and  @beastmodeI agree, and very much appreciate both of your comments.........And like I mentioned, you don't have to agree with or care for his Political Issues, Stances, etc etc, and or lack of, but knowing what all he has went thru and endured for this Country, and having lost a many a loved one to Cancer myself, I wish him all the best.....   And am sympathetic that he's going such.... 4951

Cancer is cancer - I don't wish it on my worst enemy. Some of you are a trip- carrying on about this or that that he did you don't agree with. This is a human being- somebody's loved on who is fighting cancer. Geez I hope if I ever get cancer that all my faults don't become public so people can wish me I'll. Grow up!!I pray for healing and strength for this man. Cancer sucks 4951

It's an aggressive cancer with only a 12-15% survival rate.  While I don't agree with his politics generally, I hope he can live comfortably for the time he has left. 4951
