...a statement from the Mayo Clinic announcing that, after undergoing a procedure to remove a blood clot from above his left eye last week, “Subsequent tissue pathology revealed that a primary brain tumor known as a glioblastoma was associated with the blood clot.”

While I disagree with most of what McCain has said and done, no one deserves cancer, especially brain cancer.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Agree. That's a hard road to the afterlife. I wish him and his family whatever eases their time.

Agreed.

But in a purely non-hateful manner - I wonder if that could account for some his more recent bizarre actions.

Just in time for leftists to make political hay out of it.

glioblastoma

My mother in law died of that.  The survivability rate is very low.

Definitely not the first one on my list to "just do us a favor and die already".
Sucks for family either way.

Friend of mine is battling it now.   Glioblastoma Multiforme Grade IV....   Basically, he's been told he'll be lucky to see Christmas.  Seen a couple people taken out by that MFer...   It's not a pretty end.  Sucks worse is he's got twin daughters (mid-teenagers) who lost their Mom to cancer as well.  And a 2-3 year old little boy with his new wife (who just legally adopted his twin girls). 

McCain may deserve a lot of things.  But cancer, especially brain cancer, is not one of them.  Praying peace and comfort to him and his family.

GO AWAY already. Sometimes good things come out of bad things.

While cancer is no laughing matter, I do not share the compassion of the rest of the board.
