He's always infuriated me but he was a little off the last month or two. This makes sense.

Not a good sign. I don't particularly like Senator McCain, but I don't hate him either. That sucks for him and his family.

It makes no difference. GBM's are nasty, and literally monster-like. They contain many types of different cells that reproduce quickly, and have a complex system of blood vessels. They are impossible to completely remove, because even after the neoplasm is extracted, GBM's have tentacles that reach deep into the sensitive white matter of the brain. Any excavation is temporary.

I'm by no means an expert here, but I know someone that lost her struggle with a chemo treated GBM recently, and she was much younger than McCain. If I were McCain, I would try one of the clinical trial alternatives...anything else. Even if the research is inconclusive. You're thinking quality of life here.

So is McCain off limits now to call out his utter cuck bullshite because he has the cancer?

Just asking because it seems whenever someone gets sick, as in terminal, all of the sudden people are expected to over look the stupid shite they do and have done. It's like we have to handle them with white gloves or something.

Asking for a friend..

Wait until after he dies to criticize his record if it comes to it. Don't pile on while waiting for it to happen.

My husband's cousin had the same type of brain tumor. She was treated by docs at Johns Hopkins and MD Anderson. They stayed with us for some of her treatments in TX. She lasted about 18-20 months and was blind by the end.

Females don't have as much brain to infect, which leads to shallower roots. Much easier to remove
