https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/19/us/politics/john-mccain-brain-cancer.html?mcubz=0 This is truly a tragedy. I disagree with much of his politics, but he's indisputably an American hero. Spent months in a Vietnamese prison camp, withstanding torture, even though he could have had the option to walk over the line, being related to a public official. |

--- Quote ---The median survival is about 16 months, he said. Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, died in 2009 from this kind of aggressive brain tumor, which almost always grows back even after chemotherapy and radiation. --- End quote --- so is this there something wrong with the senate chamber |

When he was a child he could have encountered an x-ray machine in a shoe store, among other places. At the time it wasn't known that radiation causes cancer, so x-ray machines were used quite a bit and weren't designed to use short bursts of x-ray like current machines use to minimize radiation exposure. In other words, he probably was exposed to lots of cancer causing things while he was growing up. It's really not surprising when people around that age get cancer. |
