McCain was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer, in July (17).

The latest news of his condition emerged hours after his daughter, TV personality Meghan McCain, broke down in tears as she co-hosted The View and was comforted by the daytime show’s guest, former Vice President Joe Biden. The Democrat, a close friend of the Senator’s, lost his son Beau to the same condition in 2015.
