    Sen. John McCain, 80, has been diagnosed with a primary glioblastoma, a type of brain tumor, Mayo Clinic doctors directly involved in the senator’s care told CNN exclusively. The doctors spoke directly to CNN Chief Medical Correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

    The senator underwent surgery to remove a blood clot on Friday at Mayo Clinic Hospital in Phoenix. Lab results from that surgery confirmed the presence of glioblastoma associated with the blood clot.

    Glioblastoma is a particularly aggressive tumor that forms in the tissue of the brain and spinal cord, according to the American Brain Tumor Association.

    I don't agree with McCain on everything but he is a true American hero and I respect the hell out of him.

    Good well soon, sir.

    John has had a hell of a run but I fear the worst with this news....my old coworkers husband died of a similar tumor and was 20 years younger....took a year, with chemo......I hope he beats it...he's a tough SOB and definitely has earned the title hero...

    Like Sly, I don't agree with some of his politics, and frankly, I think he should have retired years ago.

    But.....I most certainly do respect the hell out of the man, and he has been invaluable to our country.

    If Ted Kennedy was "The Lion" of the Senate, then John McCain most certainly was "The Warrior" of the Senate.

    Get well soon Senator.

    I am not a republican and dont agree with John on many things, but I respect the hell out of him. I hope he beats this. That said he should resign from the senate. Probably should have some time ago. I wonder if this tumor has anything to do with his strange manner of questioning in recent hearings.

    John should retire and enjoy the rest of his life how ever long that may be. I am sure the state of Arizona can find a republican to replace him.

    If I were cancer, the second-to-last person I would want to have fighting me would be John McCain. Last person is obviously Nurk's father.

    Thoughts to him and his family.

    I have no respect at all for John McCain, am of the opinion that he is one of the most corrupt and dishonest Politician-for-sale sleazeballs our government has ever made filthy rich, who shamelessly exploited his war misfortunes into a fortune stolen from Real Americans.

    He represents everything evil in our entrenched deep state government.

    I've been hoping for this as it's the only way to make him go away and stop wreaking havoc on my Freedoms.

    Regardless of his politics I respect the hell out of McCain. He adds a big part to what little dignity remains in American politics.

    Let's hope he doesn't linger that long. :cheers:

    If he had Obamacare he'd be in hospice already.
