Is he taking a lesson from the Godfather?

PHOENIX – Meghan McCain said Tuesday that her father, Sen. John McCain, was doing well as he continues to undergo chemotherapy treatment for brain cancer in Arizona.
“He’s good, he’s getting a lot of physical therapy and treatment,” McCain told KTAR News 92.3 FM’s Mac & Gaydos.
“As everyone knows especially with this cancer, you have to take it scan by scan but he is doing really good, much better than I think people anticipated.”
Sen. McCain was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer, last summer.
The tumor was removed, but in November doctors discovered a second tumor in the same place. The discovery came just weeks after McCain tore his Achilles tendon.
The senator returned home in December after he was diagnosed with a viral infection, and has remained at his family’s ranch in Sedona to undergo chemotherapy and physical therapy.
Once diagnosed, the typical survival period for glioblastoma is 12 to 15 months, though a small percentage live longer than five years. But according to his daughter, the 81-year-old has made strides in his recovery.
“Anyone who has loved ones or has gone through it knows how horrific chemo is and he’s working through the side effects of it,” she said. “He’s doing very well and I feel very lucky that he is doing so well.”
McCain originally expected to return to Senate in January, but was unable to do so.
As he continues to undergo treatment, his daughter said there was no determined timetable for his return to Washington.
But when asked, she said she was optimistic about his return happening as soon as the upcoming summer.
“I wish I had an exact date but I just don’t,” she said. “I am very cautiously optimistic about the summer, yes.”
Rumors surfaced online Thursday that the senator was prepared to step down from Senate, but his wife, Cindy McCain, quickly refuted the report on her Twitter page.
“Contrary to popular belief [John McCain] is doing fine and has no intention of resigning,” she tweeted, adding the hashtag “crackpots.”
The rumor had been spread by two Twitter accounts that did not link to any articles or reputable news sources.
A website called True Pundit also reported the rumor, though the site was labeled as “simply not trustworthy” by MediaBiasFactCheck.com.
I expected him to show up in photos or videos if he is doing relatively well.
If he can’t do his job, he needs to step down.
Did he ever have glioblastoma? Or was he trying to dodge the conspiracy of treason charges that will never come because we have Mr. Magoo as AG?
.
McCain conspired with Hillary’s camp, FusionGPS, and some financial backers to setup Trump.
McCain knew Comey, Mueller, and Clapper wouldn’t hesitate.

*Biting my tongue*
The woman is in denial.
I’ve seen family members talk about their relative with alzheimers in this manner. I’ve seen people talk about their relatives with cancer in this manner. I understand not wanting to give up, but many just do not face reality.
This is to justify him not resigning.
either he lied about his condition or they are using some unapproved special treatments brought in thru nefarious sources...or a deal with the devil.
What kind of “treatments” has he been getting? Why, if he is doing so well, have there been no statements by his doctors? Why has he made no telephone calls to his media friends who would love to fawn over him?
IMHO there is a 50/50 chance you are correct. Or it could be “The Trump Curse”. LOL.
Megan McCain is as useless, liberal and jpn as her father. #goaway
That would require him to do the honorable thing, when has he ever done that?
“This is to justify him not resigning.”
We have a winner.
She is dreaming, he’s done
He’s Faking It! If you really had this form of cancer he would have been dead a long time ago.
Dodge.
Is he taking a lesson from the Godfather?
"Hyman Roth's been dying of the same heart attack for 20 years."
