Senator John McCain sent home to die, family says

Sen. John McCain has been sent home to die as his brain cancer has become completely untreatable, family members confirmed Friday. 

“Last summer, Senator John McCain shared with Americans the news our family already knew: he had been diagnosed with an aggressive glioblastoma, and the prognosis was serious. In the year since, John has surpassed expectations for his survival. But the progress of disease and the inexorable advance of age render their verdict. With his usual strength of will, he has now chosen to discontinue medical treatment,” McCain’s family said in a statement.

Cnn.com reports: The statement went on to say, “Our family is immensely grateful for the support and kindness of all his caregivers over the last year, and for the continuing outpouring of concern and affection from John’s many friends and associates, and the many thousands of people who are keeping him in their prayers. God bless and thank you all.”

McCain’s wife and daughter both put out additional statements on Twitter.

Cindy McCain, the senator’s wife, wrote in a tweet, “I love my husband with all of my heart. God bless everyone who has cared for my husband along this journey.”

The senator’s daughter, Meghan McCain, said in a tweet, “My family is deeply appreciative of all the love and generosity you have shown us during this past year. Thank you for all your continued support and prayers. We could not have made it this far without you – you’ve given us strength to carry on.”

Senators, elected officials react

Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called the news “very sad,” and said on Twitter that “John, Cindy, and the entire McCain family are in our prayers at this incredibly difficult hour.”

“Very sad to hear this morning’s update from the family of our dear friend @SenJohnMcCain. We are so fortunate to call him our friend and colleague. John, Cindy, and the entire McCain family are in our prayers at this incredibly difficult hour,” McConnell tweeted.

Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer tweeted, “My thoughts and prayers are with Senator McCain and his family.”

Arizona Republican Gov. Doug Ducey said in a statement, “John McCain is an American hero, always putting country before self. From Vietnam to the halls of the U.S. Senate, the spirit of service and civility that has guided Senator McCain’s life stands as a model for all Americans, regardless of political affiliation.” The governor said that he and his wife Angela “had the great privilege of visiting with Senator McCain and Cindy in May. Then and now, our prayers and our hearts are with them and their entire family.”

  1. Biggest TRAITOR ever. Killed 139 sailors on the USS forrestal, ratted out our MILITARY while in a prison camp to save his own ass. Blocked all information about the Vietnam war, for 75 years, so hed be dead before they found out just how big a traitor IS was

  2. Can’t wait to find out where old “Rent-A-John” is finally planted so I can visit to relieve myself.

  3. Is all I can say is good about time and I agree with both of you he is far worse than the only true EX Marine Murtha. They were both traitors to the constitution ,their oath, and the USA.

  4. We are all going to die sooner or later, its the Spirit that lives on.
    I really don’t care where his Spirit will be for eternity.
    I just care about mine and those I love.
    The real tough part about being a Christian is …..Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

  5. The longer he lingers the longer he suffers… and the longer those close to him suffer……. that’s what the devil does to his children…he builds them up…puffs them up with Pride… and grinds them into the ground.. preparing them to be with him in hell…. linger longer mcain you grub…linger longer………

  6. he should’ve been forcibly retired when the cancer was diagnosed. Do the liberal p r I c k s think he could make correct decisions with his brain tumor? Of course he was a traitor to his oath anyway……..
