Joey Russ 7,263 Posted July 20, 2017 Yeah, so he has an aggressive form of brain cancer, so he's definitely a very good candidate for next year I think.

Joey Russ 7,263 Posted July 20, 2017 Yeah, I was kind of hoping that he wouldn't have to likely die this way, as while I disagree with him politically, I still think that he is one of the better republicans in the party, and will feel sad when he goes. I think the warning signs were kind of there for a month and a half, as during the James Comey testimony, he didn't necessarily seem to be himself, as he's usually a sharp minded guy, and he seemed confused during the testimony. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainChorizo 1,991 Posted July 20, 2017 He has Glibiostoma,which is what Paul Van-Zandlviet did. 100% should be on the list if he is alive Jan 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zsa Zsa's leg 886 Posted July 20, 2017 Great senator. Lots of my family voted for him in 2008 and for Arizona senate. Mother even met him on the campaign trail. He's had Melanoma 3 times but I think this time it's over for him, even if he has some of the best care in the world. He's now #1 on my shadow list with his mother at #4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ted Kennedy lasted 15 months with glioblastoma and a similar top level of care, so McCain will be a DL/Drop 40 cert. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zsa Zsa's leg 886 Posted July 20, 2017 I think he'll last 11-12 months. McCain's been frail and unhealthy for a while (ex: the picture i posted in political frailty). This has definitely taken a higher toll on him than his previous cancer battles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chiesa52 132 Posted July 20, 2017 Glioblastoma is going to be very hard to beat, if they didn't get it all. Chemo doesn't work very well on brain cancers, so that just leaves radiation. A pretty bleak picture. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,535 Posted July 20, 2017 Drop 40, Deathlist main list certainty if he reaches January 1st without doubt. Actual household name here, not many Senators you can say that about. (We got taught about him in school, even, though he had just been the losing Presidential candidate*..) On a completely unbiased level, however, this is dreadful news for American politics. *The first time round. vs Bush in 2000. He offered the Channel 4 News reporter a cup of tea at a rally. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
