PHOENIX — Arizona Sen. John McCain didn’t surprise anyone when photos on Twitter were posted with him in Oak Creek outside Sedona less than a week after his cancer diagnosis was revealed.

The 80-year-old McCain was diagnosed with brain cancer, with the news being revealed on Wednesday. This was after McCain had a 2-inch blood clot removed from 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.

The pressure is on despite McCain’s tragic news, as the Senate’s vote on the health care bill looms and impatience grows.

“We can’t be at a standstill for John McCain to determine what he’s going to do,” Dr. Kelli Ward told Indiana station 1190 AM WOWO Friday.

“That can’t stand,” she said. “We can’t have, until the 2018 election, waiting around to accomplish the Trump agenda.”

There's a unsettling similarity to the John McCain serving as a mouthpiece of the NVA and the McCain serving as a mouthpiece for the anti- Trump Obama deviant coalition, Richard. McCain as he was then for the NVA is now just a useful tool for a gaggle social misfits, gender bending anti Christians and Obama child predators.
Remember not so long ago you and your troglodytes pals were calling him a baby killer - a napalmer and spitting on his comrades. Good god, deviant - a lifetime of service - when did that suddenly change? Whatever the case the man is a disgrace! Spine, Richard, you've seemed to lost yours.

I think McCain, after a LIFETIME of service to his country, should be able to choose how he ends his term. We voted for him and I respect whatever decision he makes. He's EARNED that privilege.

Godspeed Sen McCain. Good to see you out and about you tough old veteran.

Senator, I served with Barry Goldwater. I knew Barry Goldwater. Barry Goldwater was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Barry Goldwater! :-)
