Daryn, Senator McCain is expected to have surgery tomorrow on two spots of malignant melanoma, one on his temple and one on his arm. Now malignant melanoma is the most severe and the least common form of skin cancer, yesterday he had three and a half hours of testing at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona. He and his wife Cindy are due to go back today to get in the results of those tests. Yesterday, Mrs. McCain gave CNN an exclusive interview and she said: We had a great meeting with doctors today, we see a great prognosis. Now the surgery is the traditional, the usual form of treatment for melanoma if it just has remained on the skin. If it goes into the body, into the lymph nodes or into other organs, then after surgery, after the surgery sometimes they do chemotherapy or other treatments -- Daryn.</s>KAGAN: Elizabeth Cohen, in Phoenix, thank you very much.
