Sen. McCain began treatment for glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer, on July 31. He announced his diagnosis on July 19, to a stunned country who responded with an outpouring of bipartisan support. His cancer was discovered following a doctor's visit and a surgery to remove a blood clot from his eye.
Despite his diagnosis, McCain returned to Washington D.C. and gave a stirring speech in the Senate to a standing ovation. He then returned to Arizona to begin radiation and chemotherapy.
Our best wishes for a speedy recovery, Sen. McCain.
