again, we don't know that this is melanoma by any means. but that is the big concern. that is why whatever this thing is -- they're calling it a blood clot -- when it's removed you want to look at it specifically under the microscope and see if there's anything that indicates this could be melanoma. you try to remove this early and aggressively. >> very quickly before you go -- you have to go to your other job at the hospital, real importance is where it is. is it between the skull and membrane that covers the brain or further in? we just don't know. >> we don't know that. but i think even upstream from that, if this is melanoma, i think that's going to raise a series of questions is is this adequately treated now? is he going to need further treatment? will that delay his recovery? even if it's outside the membrane, as you point out, of the brain, that will raise all those questions for him, poppy. >> dr. sanjay gupta, thank you very much for the expertise. appreciate it. >>> here to discuss the politics health care and also wishing senator john mccain a quick recover

is this another melanoma lesion. melanoma lesions happen to be likely to bleed. probably one of the other things we don't know is where exactly the bleed occurred. it can happen between the skull and the layer of the brain called the dura or a sub did you recall hematoma. according to outside experts, that's one of the leading possibilities at this time, given his age. >> which is 80. >> which is 80. that's an area where there starts to be some natural retraction of the brain, and so those what we call bridging veins between that dura and the brain can become a little bit leakier, and so older patients are at higher risk. the good news, they tend to be easily fixed, let's say. or the blood clot can be evacuated. >> any time you talk about the brain, people get freaked out, as i would. but these are routine? >> not so much routine, but if we think about, again, an anatomically where the clot occurs. if the clot is in the brain itself, such as, for example, a stroke, that's a very, very different conversation. if the blood clot is happening outside of the brain, bu

is this somehow related to that previous melanoma?s probably why the doctors were even scanning him and why they're being aggressive in removing this. doing this procedure. but there's nothing to suggest that for sure it is melanoma, but that's what they want to rule out, if you will. >> i hope they do. recently senate mccain had trouble with a senate hearing with the fired fbi director james comey. i want to play a quick moment from that hearing. listen. >> that investigation was going on. this investigation was going on. you reached separate conclusions. >> no. that one was done. >> you have to help me out here. in other words, we're complete, the investigation of anything that former secretary clinton had to do with the campaign is over and we don't have to worry about it anymore? >> wp ith respect. >> a little confused? >> the senator explained he had been up late and probably an indicator maybe something was wrong? >> you know, pole. wolf, it's tough in this situation to draw a cause and effect. why is somebody having trouble sor

the melanoma that he had in 2000. but just even the extent to which he is going constantly, in warp speed always. you mentioned the kind of impact he has in the senate. a huge impact. but he has a huge impact globally. my friend paul cain at the washington post just did a story about the miles that he logs. just this year alone, anderson, 75,000 miles, to more than 15 nations across three continents. i was just talking recently to chris coons of delaware, i think it was less than two months ago, talking about the fact that kunz who is about 30 years younger than john mccain, 81 at the end of august, he had to change his own schedule because he couldn't keep up with mccain. and the way that he said that mccain is revered by leaders across the country. even and especially in vietnam. which he said was really interesting. but covering mccain, anderson, in the senate, and i covered his presidential campaign in 2008 from start to finish, he has a fighter pilot's mentality which is, you keep going and you keep going and you

i know you mentioned melanoma being a potential cause, or association, with this blood clot, but whatre the other range of possibilities that would bring this on, that would, you know, cause something like this? >> well, you know, they called it a blood kloclot about 5 cent meters in size, pretty good size if you think about it. sometimes if somebody has had a trauma. even bumped their head. even at some point in the past, you know, a few days or a few weeks ago that could cause a blood collection to form. physically it would cause headaches, a little bit of discomfort. something that would make somebody go in and get checked out. again, as you pointed out, this was a routine physical. that kind of argues against some sort of trauma being the cause of this. you know, it could be a -- this melanoma that spread, as we pointed out, some other abnormality, hard to speculate but concerns enough, i guess, that the doctors said, hey, we need to take a look at this. remove it and figure out what it is. it may not be a spread of melanoma or anything at all is concerns or needs follow-up treatm

people were concerned about the melanoma having spread. but this is not a melanoma. this is a malignant cancer. what that means, you operate on this, it needs to be treated as well with chemotherapy and radiation. the concern is it will come back. that's the big concern with these type of tumors. in order to try to give him the best chance at that, it is likely he'll undergo further treatments in the next several weeks. >> i want you to stay with us. david axle rod is also joining us and gloer ya borjer. this is very devastating news for senator mccain and his family. very tough news to hear for everybody. he was first elected to the senate in 1986, more than 30 years ago. for the impact he has had, and continues to have, on the senate is not to be overstated. >> it's remarkable and don't forget he ran for the presidency twice and he told me he once came in second place, which wasn't good enough. you know, john mccain is a fighter. i think we all know that, all of us tonight. and, you know, this is a man who survived fire on the forest, shot out of a plane, would you
