  2. McCain and Cancer
    Walwyn M.Trezise

    I am a retired lawyer, admitted to the Illinois Bar since 1962, a member of the bar of the United States Tax Court, and a member of the Bar of the United States Supreme Court Bar since 1963.  I am a retired officer in the United States Navy, and a veteran of the Viet Nam conflict.  My wife and I reside together west of Dubois, Wyoming.  In 2006, while an active litigator in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, I was diagnosed with Barrette's  Esophageal Syndrome.  On November 10, 2006, I was operated upon by Neurosurgeon Matthew Blum and his surgical team at Northwestern Faculty Hospital Center in Chicago.  Malignancies in my esophagus were removed and a malignant tumor was removed with the upper portion of my stomach.  Like Senator McCain, I am over age 70.  I am alive and in remission by reason of Dr. Blum's skills and early diagnosis in Wyoming. I promptly retired from the practice of law.  Under the circumstance of this malevolent disease, I believe I became morally and ethically bound not to attempt to render people trusted personal or business legal services.  Cancer I accept to be a physically and mentally debilitating condition that may reappear and impose a heavy mental and physical burden.  I do not blame nor pity Senator McCain nor myself for having the suffered cancer.  I am appalled, however, that with recognition of the preexisting knowledge of having suffered the condition and knowledge of those implications, (my life expectancy has been predicted to be three to five years), he has sought and continuous to seek the presidency.  In that office he should recognize the magnitude of his responsibility for the trust and welfare of the American People. That is not unlike, but, to the  extent that it involves our citizens'  security and very lives,  of far greater magnitude than in accepting legal responsibility for a clientele's trust in protection their private financial and business affairs.  This is a moral and ethical question, as far as I see it, considering my evaluation of my own expectations.  The Senator is, after all, not running for the presidency of a high school student council.  He candidacy, I believe, suffers from a lack of ethical and moral courage and common sense in its implications and in the sense if the innate limitations his condition imposes on his abilities, borders on deceit.  Very respectfully and humbly submitted,  Walwyn M. Trezise, Dubois, Wyoming

    Mr. Trezise, I just found this comment of yours on Feb.5, '09 and am wondering 1) how you are doing now, and 2) what your thoughts are now that the political issue is settled?

     

    I am a 3x ca survivor (stage 4 colo-rectal in '87-'88, stage 3 breast '01-'06, and squamous cell skin ca somewhere in the 90's) and know what an upset cancer can do to one's life. Currently my husband is fighting recurrent bladder cancer, has had 4 proceedures over the past year, and I firmly believe it is more difficult to watch a loved one deal with it than to have it myself.

     

    Quite honestly, I had not thought that McCain's cancer in the past was much of an issue in the press, and it should have been. You are correct, people who have not dealt with it do not know all of the ramifications.

     

    Please reply if you have the time and interest. Thank you for your post, wish you had received more replies.
