Wow. Regardless of how one feels about him politically, nobody deserves to suffer from cancer.

Just saw a tweet that he's at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. That's not good... Sad

Very unfortunate. Politics aside, the man is an American icon who truly cares about the country.

Oh wow. How awful.
Now his inability to properly communicate in that past Senate hearing makes sense.
CNN is saying it is the same type of brain cancer that took Ted Kennedy.

True. I didn't always agree with McCain and Kennedy on every thing, but they were bipartisan.

The statement issued by his office said that he had surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix and is currently recovering at home in Arizona:

Jesus Christ. I would say I pray for him, but I'm an agnostic. My sympathies are with him and his family.

It looks like he's alright right now, but this cancer is super agressive. This is horrible.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, former Sens. Joe Lieberman and Kelly Ayotte are probably taking it hard. Sad.

This type is very unforgiving. From what I can tell, it doesn't typically allow for much more than a year.

I hate cancer Sad

I've always liked McCain.  I voted for him in 2008, and I am proud of that vote.

I don't agree with him on everything, and especially so recently, but you never have to guess with him. He is a true patriot.

This is the kind Ted Kennedy had as well - apparently it has an affinity for derailing health care proposals

A true American hero. He fought and was imprisoned for this nation. While I don't agree often with him, he still deserves the recognition he has earned. I hope he is able to recover quickly and comfortably. Trump better keep his mouth shut about this man if it's going to be like anything he has said before.
