McCain says bandage on head due to “low-hanging roof”
FRESNO, California — Republican presidential candidate John McCain had a bandage on the top of his head on Monday, but McCain said it was not due to a new bout of skin cancer.
“It was a brush with a low
-hanging door,” McCain told reporters at a news conference at Fresno State University.
McCain has had four instances of melanoma — a potentially lethal type of skin cancer — and various other skin growths have been taken off his body over the years.
McCain, 71, said he bumped his head getting out of a car during a visit to Canada last weekend. He said his head “hit the roof a teeny bit.”
