McCain's health improving, family and friends say
Fox News ^ | Amy Lieu

U.S. Sen. John McCain is feeling better as he recovers from cancer treatment and surgery in Arizona, according to family members and friends.

Arizona's junior U.S. senator, Jeff Flake, told Fox News on Friday that he spoke with McCain by phone that morning, and said his 81-year-old colleague was “doing better” than he had been recently.

In April, McCain underwent surgery for an intestinal infection.

Flake did not go into detail, but he smiled and spoke in a tone of voice that suggested he was pleased or relieved to offer the positive update.

He was never sick.

It all depends on what parts of the brain have been affected by the cancer. Faculties controlled by untouched parts work until the end. I lost a sibling to this horrible disease.

He's certainly well enough to mess with our fine Country (as his usual pretend-Republican self).

None of us can know for certain (and I wish him success in concurring cancer, as well and finding that new job).

That said, I don't trust him to let on how he is, whether it be sicker or weller.

If he dies tomorrow the governor can appoint Cindy.

Let's hope this is the case.

“There is often a brief reinvigoration just before the end.”

CORRECT. If he were REALLY improving his love of the camera and attacking Trump would bring him back to DC.

He is nasty, swampy, and repugnant. Other than that, he is okay.

His prognosis is grim if he’s getting surgery at this point. Probably brain surgery. That’s usually the last stage of “fight” in a glioblastoma.

People who deal with the dying call it “the last hurrah”.

He is becoming a machine. She is part robot, shit and alcoholic. Both are favored by the press and are the worst part of the national’s character.

Unless McCain has access to some miracle cure, there’s no possibility of recovery from Glioblastoma carcinoma. It’s 100% fatal.

Sounds like wishful thinking on Jeff Flake’s part.

Don’t you think if McCain was praising Trump the MSM would be attributing it to his brain tumor?

I’ve heard others make the same claim. It makes sense to me from what I’ve seen of others with a serious, terminal cancer diagnosis. McLame is running a scam.

With the added horror of being untouchable ‘cause “they’re grieving, have you no shame.”

Those two heathens are only here for a quick tick in time. Their time paying for what they did while here however will be an eternity of nightmares. Maybe they will be forced to have oral sex with each other. Hahaha.
