Personally I wish everyone well and the best health care medical specialists can provide. The government should we willing to extend health care to all as a basic human right. Corporatism and Politics often play an evil role in welfare of all the nation’s citizens. From a political view, I hope the senator retires sooner than later.

Doctors discovered the tumor after McCain underwent blood clot surgery last week at Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona, the hospital said on Wednesday.
“Subsequent tissue pathology revealed that a primary brain tumor known as a glioblastoma was associated with the blood clot,” McCain’s aids confirmed in a statement.
Glioblastoma is a very aggressive form of cancer whose five-year survival rate for patients over 55 is about 4 percent, according to the American Cancer Society.
Daughter praises McCain’s courage
The latest cancer diagnosis comes after doctors removed several malignant melanomas on McCain’s skin in the 1990s and 2000s, including an invasive melanoma in 2000.
McCain’s daughter Meghan McCain issued a statement after the diagnosis was made public, saying that her father remained “confident and calm.”
