Sen mccain diagnosed with brain tumor after clot removed

I think you may be referring to the news about Senator John McCain's health. On July 19, 2017, Senator John McCain was diagnosed with a glioblastoma, a type of brain tumor, after undergoing surgery to remove a blood clot from his left temple.

The surgery was performed at St. Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona, and was deemed successful in removing the clot. However, during the surgery, the doctors also discovered a glioblastoma, which is a type of brain cancer that is typically aggressive and difficult to treat.

Glioblastoma is a type of primary brain cancer that arises from the brain tissue itself, rather than spreading from another part of the body. It is a rare type of cancer, accounting for only about 3% of all brain tumors, but it is also one of the most aggressive and difficult to treat.

Senator McCain's doctors said that he would undergo additional treatment, including chemotherapy and radiation therapy, to try to slow the growth of the tumor and manage its symptoms. However, the prognosis for glioblastoma patients is generally poor, with a median survival time of about 12-18 months.

Despite the diagnosis, Senator McCain remained optimistic and continued to work in the Senate, albeit with a reduced schedule. He passed away on August 25, 2018, at the age of 81, surrounded by his family.
