He said he expects to have an MRI scan taken on Monday.
'So far, all indications are very good.'
The tumor, known as glioblastoma, is a particularly aggressive brain tumor affecting adults. It is of the same category of cancer that led to the death of another Senate icon, Ted Kennedy, who died in 2009 at age 77.
I was raised to believe that if you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say a thing. I will leave it at that.
Brain surgeons have looked inside. They report they find nothing.
To quote an old monty python skit: He has a small particle of brain lodged in his skull. Dr’s say that once that’s removed he should be good as new.
But you are Still a Marxist POS
Today is a sad day for America.
I do not speak just of the tragedy of 9/11.
He will have a miraculous cure like Jimmy Carter, who is 10 years older than him.
A cure not available to you or me.
Well that’s just great. Now you should concentrate on getting well and quit screwing up things for the rest of us. What say you Arizonans? Time for him to go and ride off into the sunset.
I’m saving a bottle of Elijah Craig to open the day this traitor kicks.
He says that as though it's a good thing...
If he has more energy, they are probably using steroids. Any time I have been on them, I had increased energy and could not sleep.
and we are supposed to believe anything that this POS utters? Have we not learned that whatever he says, assume the opposite?
So he has more time to spread misery, chaos and destruction.
We all die. Just take your damn turn McCain.
Do you think that JM is really cured?
Anyone care to weigh in?
Anything this POS utters is Liberal BS, IMO.
Pity.
He will have a miraculous cure like Jimmy Carter, who is 10 years older than him.
A cure not available to you or me.
I think you might be on to something.
I do not wish the McDork monstrosity death.
But I do wish it to go to the farthest side of the universe.
The side without air.
If he truly has a gioblastoma, no, the prognosis is certainly not “pretty good”. And, since when do you get increased energy levels from cancer treatment?
