How Is John McCain's Cancer?

I think he is in remission, as his last treatment was in 2002.  No other updates have been posted onto the Internet, so I can assume there have been no further outbreaks of melanoma.  I agree, my thoughts and prayers also go out to him.

The smoking at his dad's house sounds like it is off and on. I wouldn't worry about that.\n\nThe chaw is what most concerns me.  He can get cancer of the lip, tongue, mouth or larynx.  All disgusting cancers because it affects the face, speech and breathing.  \n\nCancer of the larynx would require a laryngectomy and he'd have to use one of those fake electronic voice things for the rest of his life.

Arlen Spector, Chuck Hagel, Lindsay Graham, Susan Collins. McCain used to be more of a straight talker, but I would not trust him now. Other honest Republicans will surface after the election

I am no doctor, but, my father was diagnosed with initial stage NSC lung cancer in his one lung. Whoops; now I am confused, maybe it was small cell lung cancer. I think that is the more aggressive kind. Now I am not sure, and I started to answer your question. My point is, I know both cancers can spread, one more quickly than the other, but, when diagnosed at a later stage, which I believe your husband's one, the stage it is at gives you the percentage of survival rate (based on five years). So a six month prognosis was a 10 percent survival rate, which was horrible (to me). That is why the Dr. was shocked. No matter if the doctors were wrong, go with the facts. Your husband is still alive, he is living with cancer, not dying of cancer, so prayer, exercise, medicine, is all working. Accept it, and keep doing what you are doing. My son is outperforming all expectations for his rare diagnosis. How? Doctors can't explain it, but they say, "Keep doing what you are doing" Prayer is a very powerful thing, the most powerful and potent thing you can do. It is not his time, and keep loving and living with him. God has a plan for him. You may not know what the plan is, but, God does. Good luck, and I will keep you all in my prayers. A good resource for me was the lungalliance.org They have people who can help with questions. Or, it might be thelungalliance.org. Try both, or do a search engine on lungalliance.

It is a big shock to all of us. She was so young. He is so successful - I feel sorry for his loss. A loss of young life is always sad. Cancer is a dreadful illness. \nMay she rest in Peace!

If he was only diagnosed two days ago, it is inhuman for them to say he only has a short time to live. He would surely have to have more tests to see the extent of the cancer and he would have to have treatment.\n\nIf caught early, many cancers, including bowel cancer can be cured. Do not listen to other people who doom-monger. Listen to the doctor and try to give your uncle lots of support at this difficult time.\n\nAll the best to you and your family.

Didn't McCain's son just enlist?\n\nBTW - apparently the percentage of Congress-members with children in the military is double that of the average population.

I thought he was great in the 2000 primary. Then Rove & Co. hammered him after he trounced Bush in NH. Since then McCain seems to have lost that authenticity that he had on the "straight talk express". I long for the "old" McCain.

Cancer in all forms.  It claims so many lives everyday.  I am currently watching my Papaw die from this horrible disease.  His has metastasized to his entire body, and watching him waste away and lose weight, have so much pain, and suffer absolutely kills me too.  I have also had many other friends and family members suffer with cancer, including my mother who had breast cancer.  I pray every day that a cure will be found for it.

I really used to like John McCain & Colin Powell.  But after Colin Powell made a boldfaced lie to the United Nations so that we could invade Iraq, he still hasn't really apologised for it.  \n\nJohn McCain really, truly *is* a war hero and I admire his willingness to stick it to Bush on occasion (something that's definitely NOT easy since disloyalty to the party gets punished severely), but McCain has had to approve the use of torture so that he could appease Bush.  It's a terribly sad thing to see happen to an otherwise very respectible man, but let's be honest - if McCain is willing to vote for torture, then he probably doesn't have any real integrity left.

He hasn't at this point.  He was elected to the Senate only a few years ago, so there really hasn't been any chances to do much yet.  He is a good public speaker, and ran a positive campaign, so a lot of people like him for it, which I respect.\nHowever, a lot of people point to his being the first black Senator from Illinois.  What they don't mention is that both candidates (Republican and Democrat) were black, so no matter what, it was going to happen.\nSecond, he ran a campaign talking about how the government needs to stop being partisan and work together.  But if you do a search on any major news site, you'll see he has managed to annoy a lot of Republicans with partisan comments, including following Martin Luther King Day.  More recently (as in a day ago), he upset Senator McCain, over lobbying reform, by taking a very hardline Democratic approach.\n\nSo, ask that question again when he is up for re-election is 2010, then you can tell how he handled his first term as US Senator.

John McCain has been bought & paid for by mexico (as has our president  & some of the "elected class - big money in drugs as you know) - too bad for Americans that the Vietnamese didn't kill him when they had a chance!
