Support Comes From Republicans And Democrats As Sen. McCain Announces He is Discontinuing Treatment.

Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain has decided to stop treatment for his rare form of brain cancer, his family announced on Twitter on Friday.

Meghan McCain, the daughter of the 81-year-old senator and co host of ABC’s “The View,” first announced her father’s decision in a statement on Twitter.

“My family is deeply appreciative of all the love and generosity you have shown us during this past year. Thank you for all your continued support and prayers. We could not have made it this far without you – you’ve given us strength to carry on,” she wrote with a statement from her dad’s office.

“Last summer, Senator John McCain shared with Americans the news our family already knew: he had been diagnosed with an aggressive glioblastoma, and the prognosis was serious. In the year since, John has surpassed expectations for his survival. But the progress of disease and the inexorable advance of age render their verdict. With his usual strength of will, he has now chosen to discontinue medical treatment. Our family is immensely grateful for the support and kindness of all his caregivers over the last year, and for the continuing outpouring of concern and affection from John’s many friends and associates, and the many thousands of people who are keeping him in their prayers. God bless and thank you all,” the statement read.

The senator’s wife, Cindy McCain, made her own announcement on Twitter. “I love my husband with all of my heart. God bless everyone who has cared for my husband along this journey,” she wrote.

Sen. McCain has been praised as a war hero after being captured and tortured during the Vietnam War and denying his own release from his POW prison unless the Vietnam government also allowed his fellow platoon members to come home. He willingly stayed in his prison and continued being tortured and having his bones broken to stick by his fellow soldiers.

Tributes to Sen. McCain from Republicans and Democrats have been made since the announcement.
