posty 2,296 Posted August 24, 2018 https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/sen-john-mccain-discontinue-brain-cancer-treatment-family/story?id=57379671 Sen. John McCain, who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer last year, has decided to discontinue treatment, his family said in a statement Friday. Last summer McCain said he had been diagnosed with an aggressive glioblastoma, "and the prognosis was serious," his family said in a statement. "In the year since, John has surpassed expectations for his survival. But the progress of disease and the inexorable advance of age render their verdict," the McCain family said. "With his usual strength of will, he has now chosen to discontinue medical treatment. Our family is immensely grateful for the support and kindness of all his caregivers over the last year, and for the continuing outpouring of concern and affection from Johns many friends and associates, and the many thousands of people who are keeping him in their prayers. God bless and thank you all." This story is developing. Please check back for more updates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kilroy69 994 Posted August 24, 2018 He is a war hero. He was held captive by the Vietnamese in conditions Us servicemen have not experienced since. He then served his country in his next phase like war heros often do by being an elected official. He absolutely deserves my respect and admiration no matter what I might think about his politics. It shows an immense amount of courage to allow it to end. To spend time with family. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,645 Posted August 24, 2018 Guy did nothing but serve his country from an early age. Like or hate him, you have to respect that. really impressed that despite his injuries, he stuck around as a prisoner rather than receive preferential treatment. One of the great political what ifs of our time. One thing that I'll be thinking about for a while is how 2008 would have gone if John had chosen Lieberman who was on his short list. But God bless the guy. It's something if you get to die with your family all around you and the thanks of a Grateful Nation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
