McCain Has Mole Removed

Since McCain has had serious skin cancer problems before, this could prove to be significant news or it could prove to be nothing at all. We simply don’t know yet.

From Wash Post:

BAKERSFIELD, California (Reuters) – Republican presidential candidate John McCain, who has suffered from skin cancer in the past, said on Monday his doctor has removed a spot from his face during a routine checkup in Phoenix earlier in the day.

McCain said the spot on the right side of his face, which an aide described as being like a mole, would be biopsied to ensure it was not cancerous.

“At this point it was just a precautionary removal,” an aide told reporters on McCain’s campaign plane.

One additional note, the American Cancer Society reports that the survival rates for localized melanoma is 99%, so even if this mole turns out to be cancerous, McCain is probably in little actual danger of it being fatal.

More as it develops…
