That cancer history could have prompted Mr. McCain’s doctors to scan his brain even in the absence of symptoms, some doctors said.

The scan showed nothing.

For now, I will take the advice from, of all people, Nancy Pelosi. It was Nancy who said “Don’t Gloat!”

Is his daughter Megan still a regular speaker on Fox?
If she is, and Megan is absent this coming week, one may presume the situation with her dad is more serious than what the press has indicated.

John McCain has a serious issue with his cranium, wow, sounds serious, have the Medical Professionals considered amputation in order to save the natio... I mean patient...

I think Johnny Boy met with some medical professions in Syria a while back that specialize in such procedures...

It’s probably best that I not say what I want to say on a public forum.

A craniotomy? They removed his brain? But he had so little to spare...

Hillary did recently say something about the GOP being the party of Death. I wonder if she was projecting.

[ A craniotomy? They removed his brain? But he had so little to spare... ]

This is the procedure where they use a can opener to remove the very top of the skull and scoop out the offending mass with an ice cream scoop, I hear they are flying in the scoop from a baskin robbins in Hawaii where Obama once worked because it is the only medical related device from the Obama era that actually works.
