McCain was an American hero but he flushed it down the tubes as a Senator and fricking scumbag of the worst kind of politician. As his constituent, frick him sideways, and his exit from the Senate is long overdue.

That said, I feel for him and his family and wish him the best luck, blessing, and fortune possible in treatment and recovery.

Yea, it basically has roots that goes deep into the brain making it hard if not impossible to remove. This really sucks gang. McCain is a genuine American hero and patriot. I think we were all taken back by his questions in committee and statements. Obviously this cancer has had some impact on his cognitive ability. Sounds like a death sentence.

I describe a Glio as looking like a jelly fish (or a squid). It has that head portion but its tentacles run through huge portions of the brain.

My sister's glio runs through of the main arteries in her brain. She's a walking miracle though. It's been almost 7 years and she's still with us. Two surgeries plus very aggressive treatment have helped and they consider her inremission. Unfortunately, whenever this fricker starts growing again it will be brutal.

She is not as sharp as she once was but she's so grateful that it is contagious.
