McCain's surgery was brain tumor/cancer

Trying to find a reputable link, but it was reported on CNN minutes ago.

This may explain his odd questions to Comey.

My husband's uncle just died as a result of glioblastoma 8 weeks ago. I wouldn't wish it on anyone - it was horrific.

[walterismydog]

Just awful and sad. I wish his family and loved ones strength during this time.

A friend of mine lost her father to this 20-25 years ago. So sad ...

[pitta12]

This is so sad and scary. i hope they caught it early.

[seeyalater52]

Ugh I feel so bad for him and his family. What a terrible thing.

[iammalcolmx]

Fuck

[Deleted]

This is horrible and I wish this on no one.

But seriously, can the man step down from office? Get some rest, enjoy time with your family, and let someone coherent better serve our nation.

ETA: This was expressed poorly and I apologize. My use of the word "coherent" was in reference to McCain's behavior at the Comey and Sessions testimonies.

[killercupcake]

Oh wow.

[pixy0stix]

Ugh, poor man.

A dear close friend who I considered like a mom to me died of a glioblastoma this spring. Awful disease and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

[hocus2]

Wow, that sucks. I googled and it seems like a very aggressive cancer.

I wish him with his treatment journey.

[dove]

Not good. Glioblastoma is usually stage 4.

[heat40]

Ugh. This is horrible.

[rubysox]

Terrible, so sorry for him and his family. My dad died from from it 8 years ago and it was awful.

[mbcdefg]

Oh dear, terrible news

[eclaires]

Yikes. I wonder if his weird questions during that hearing prompted someone to insist he see a doctor.

[tessalb]

This is so sad. MSNBC reporting did not sound promising. 🙁

[lilibet]

How horrible. I hope they're able to treat it.

[Kristinmo]

That's super aggressive. Life expectancy is generally less than a year. How awful for him and his family.

[rjamz]

How horrible, I wish him well

[isabel]

That's sad and scary for his family.

[fryjack2]

He has a GBM? Oh, Fuck The universe really couldnt give him a break in this life?

I hope he lives as long as Ted Kennedy did after his diagnosis. I'm so sorry for him and his family and the country.

[bernsteincat]

That's terrible.

[gt7301b]

So sad, my grandfather died from a brain tumor 20 years ago. My grandmother has been very active in several brain tumor foundations over the years. While it is not a promising diagnosis you do hear of some remarkable recoveries.

[TR]

Oh fuck my uncle died of a GBM 12 years ago. It was awful. I'm so sorry for him and his family.

[WanderingWinoZ]

T&P for his family- this doesn't sound good.

I hope he has great treatment....

[fryjack2]

Meghan's statement. Wow. Beautiful and heartbreaking.
