His presidential campaign was kind of cringeworthy. The best part was his concession speech. The thing with McCain is that even when he's not a bad guy on a personal level, he lets the party push him around too much.

This came as a complete surprise to me, because his team, AND THE HOSPITAL, blatantly lied about the operation. There was no hematoma. They knew this was a tumor, from the start. The operation was a planned biopsy. Source: Me. I've seen upward of a THOUSAND of glioblastomas. They NEVER present as a hematoma. It was a mass. They knew if from the start.
Glioblastoma is a terrible, terrible tumor. It is assumed, from the very start, once found, that it has spread far and wide throughout the brain. We know this from doing autopsies. Even in normal appearing brain, far away from the tumor, small amounts of tumor are always identified. Surgical removal is only used when the tumor is so massive that it needs to be debulked. Chemotherapy and radiation are the only treatments, both of which are not good for you. IQ is significantly impacted following radiation therapy. That's a fact that you won't hear during any of this McCain discussion.
This explains John McCain's rambling statements from early June. He may have had this for months before that, in his frontal lobe of all places. That's the logic center for those interested.
McCain may survive this for years, but he'll be a fragment of his former self. Unfortunately, he cannot be a Senator in my opinion. He has already had a half-frontal lobotomy that will never get better. Radiation will makes things worse.

Side effects of radiosurgery are usually related to sending high doses of radiation to particular areas of the skull. For instance, if you are treated for an acoustic neuroma (a tumor involving the nerve that controls hearing), you might lose some hearing. A small percentage of patients treated for trigeminal neuralgia experience tingling or numbness of the face.
Long-Term Side Effects
The side effects discussed thus far tend to occur during treatment up until a few months after treatment. Long-term effects can occur months to many years after cancer treatment and the risks vary depending on the areas included in the field of radiation and the radiation techniques that were used, as these continue to develop and improve.
Though the risk is low, you should be aware of these possible long-term effects:
...
Loss of some brain function can occur if large areas of the brain receive radiation. There may also be other symptoms that develop as a result of damage to healthy brain tissue. These symptoms are dependent on what the area of brain treated controls and how much radiation was given. These risks must be balanced against the risks of not using radiation and having less control of the tumor.

Pretty sure they automatically give the seat to a Republican, from the governor. And no, it isn't actually that safe Republican, if there was an actual election.

EDIT: just for clarity on what happens..
Under Arizona law, if McCain were no longer able to serve, the governor must appoint a replacement who has to be from the same party.
The successor would serve until the next statewide election. The winner of that election would serve out the unexpired term, which ends in 2022.
The law would allow Gov. Doug Ducey to appoint himself to fill the seat, according to legal experts.
More likely, political analysts say, is that Ducey would name a "placeholder" -- someone to hold the seat until the special election, and then bow out.
McCain's departure would set up the possibility of two U.S. Senate elections in Arizona in 2018: the McCain seat and Republican Sen. Jeff Flake's defense of his seat.
That could give Arizona voters the power to decide which party controls the U.S. Senate.
Since U.S. Senate seats don't come open very often in Arizona -- just 12 men have held the two seats since statehood 105 years ago -- and the terms are six years, expect several members of Congress to consider a run.

If it happened it would be another celebrity election. IE, where completely disproportionate amount of media, donations and interest are invested into a local affair. Feel like those may become a thing now which is sad.

The type of cancer McCain has is relevant.
Glioblastoma is a very aggressive type of cancer that, even with resection, you still have microscopic metastatic cells, so remission is highly likely for McCain. The reason of these metastases has to do with the type of cells the cancer develops from, which is the astrocytes, and they are laced all over the brain, so it is likely that if it is a glioblastoma type IV, that his brain is laced with these metastasized cells.
Your assumptions about brain cancer are not necessarily wrong, AiliailiA, it's just that he happens to have a really shitty type of cancer that makes his prognosis largely gloomy. It all depends on how advanced they got the GBM though. Stages I and maybe II (which are known as astrocytomas clinically and not glioblastomas) have a high degree of 5+ years of survival. Advanced types of GBM, such as III and IV, have really poor chances of making it past the year.The Legionnaire Movement wrote:http://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/134268204
Those are not guaranteed. They are highly likely with incompetent neurosurgeons, but they're not a certainty. In medicine, one has to always remember that most of these risks are always a probability, and in the documentation given to cancer patients, they try to make it seem like they can live through it because that's what oncologists have to do, give hope to their patients along with treatment that they can live through it. The poster might have seen up to a thousand of Glioblastomas, and if true, he might have seen the worst cases of GBMs, but not all GBMs are equal in their size or diagnosis, though. What most likely happened is that, because of the condition of McCain that a blood clot was how it showed up, they were suspecting "oh a hematoma, ez pz" until they did the MRI testing and saw that what they were dealing with was not a hematoma. Doctors do not know anything beyond what the patient tells them until they get test results, and even when you might know, you hold a sliver of hope.
In any case, the GBM of McCain might be rather advanced if it managed to manifest physical symptoms such as a blood clot, and if so he might be largely correct, your poster.
The other thing is, like I said, the media is saying McCain has a gioblastoma, we don't know. We don't have his medical records. It could be an astrocytoma (which can be easily mistaken for a blastocytoma), for all we know, which is far more survivable than a gioblastoma. It could be an exaggeration by the media, it might not, but even then, gioblastomas, if it is a gioblastoma, might not fuck with his cognitive abilities, but it could very well mean that he's not likely to survive past 2022, if not by 2018. His neurosurgeon and oncologist are going to have to make that call, but as it stands, gioblastoma doesn't bode well for him, and he most likely will have to retire as a US Senator this year if not the next one due to not being able to continue his duties as a senator in a proficient manner and the high risk of remission if it is a gioblastoma, given this new development.
