Again, remember, John McCain has been acting erratic for months, and now is showing regular facial ticks or convulsions, followed by confusion, that his campaign doesn't feel the need to explain.
Worse yet, the public has not been given adequate access to his medical records. John McCain is 72 years old. He has had 4 bouts of skin cancer, and his specific cancer, melanoma, is the worst, the most deadly. Yet, the media was given only ten second a page to review over 1,000 medical documents (and conveniently, the pages were all jumbled). If John McCain won't give the public sufficient details to ensure that a McCain victory doesn't turn into a Palin presidency, then we are forced to have real doctors speculate on the evidence we do have. One such real M.D. wrote me the other day...
RK, who is an M.D., writes:
No one really knows the extent of McCain's melanoma problems. What I do know is that of the more common cancers, melanoma and pancreatic cancer are the two most frightening to have. I do not personally know of a single case of melanoma that has survived more than a few years that was not apparently localized at the time of excision. McCain has had "four" surgeries for his cancer, so it would seem that it has spread. Why else would he have had follow up surgery? AND WE HAVE NOT A CLUE AS TO WHAT OTHER TREATMENT MODALITIES HE HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO.
I think it is quite possible that amongst other areas of spread, he could have brain metastases and this could account for the neurological events we have witnessed. If such be the case...
I can not be absolutely certain of his condition as, not only have I never met the man, I have never seen his medical records, but neither has anyone else.
