They are small dots now, almost invisible. They found out about it because in removing a benign growth they were able to biopsy the small little specs and find that they were malignant.
An accomplished lawyer he taught courses in law at a respected law school but medical events late in life curbed his professional life. Now he lives on social security and has a chance to win this battle because of Medicare, something Republicans also fought like hell. Had he gotten this when he was fifty, before the ACA, and it went untreated these little specks would grow and he would only have 18 months left. Now he has a chance, because of Medicare he caught it early.
John McCain stood up for his fellow POWs when he refused an early swap to leave his POW prison where his health was faltering and had less than a 50% chance of making it. He stayed in line, first in first out. By not undermining morale and giving the NV a tool to divide other POWs he gave some the strength they needed to hang on and survive.
John McCain stood up for an unknown girl dying in Bangladesh when his wife found her and brought her to the US. He adopted her sight unseen and helped save her life.
John McCain stood up and did the right thing at a critical point of US/Vietnamese rapprochement giving cover so that right wingers could not sabotage it. I was in Vietnam after the war and saw how depleted Vietnamese hospitals were. By assisting in establishing diplomatic ties steps were taken that allowed Vietnamese hospitals to take giant leaps at recovery and lives were saved.
I hope he recovers and has a long life.
I wish the old John McCain would return and stand up for guys like my brother who are in their 50s and may lose the only health care they have under the Affordable Care Act.
I miss that John McCain, I really do.
