McCain was diagnosed with brain cancer on Wednesday following the removal of a 2-inch blood clot in his skull.

The clot was determined to be a glioblastoma, the most aggressive form of cancer that begins in the brain.

The typical survival period after a diagnosis is 12 to 15 months, though a small percentage live longer than five years.
