They’re reviewing treatment options. The long-time Arizona senator and 2008 Republican presidential nominee has been diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive primary brain tumor, which was discovered during surgery to remove a blood clot above his left eye.
A statement from McCain’s office said the 80-year-old senator is recovering at home in Arizona and considering possible treatments. The diagnosis shocked the Senate, where he’s served for over three decades. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and former President Barack Obama used the same words to describe McCain, calling him an “American hero.”
