A person with brain cancer was allowed to continue to help lead our country and make decisions until the point where they died of said brain cancer.

McCain gave amazing service to this country, but I can't believe anyone with brain cancer was allowed to stay in office/power.

I'm no neurologist, but my ol' man had cancerous brain tumors off and on from 2003 until he died in 2012 and it was completely asymptomatic other than losing sight in his left eye. That is until the last 6 months where his motor function and his physical body rapidly deteriorated.  It wasn't until the last month or so that he lost his mental grip on things, and he really lost it once he did.

I'm also no politician, but I think if McCain would have been acting in a manner which indicated he lost his grip on reality from the cancer (and not from, you know, various political beliefs that make people act crazy) he would have retired.
