Washington (AFP) – US Senator John McCain, who is fighting an aggressive form of brain cancer, was in a military hospital Wednesday to treat “normal side effects” of his therapy, his office said.
The 81-year-old former prisoner of war and 2008 Republican presidential nominee was diagnosed in July with a brain tumor known as a glioblastoma, after doctors found a blood clot over his left eye during a routine checkup.
McCain underwent surgery at the time in his home state of Arizona, and has been treated with radiation and chemotherapy.
“Senator McCain is currently receiving treatment at Walter Reed Medical Center (in Bethesda, Maryland) for normal side effects of his ongoing cancer therapy,” his office said in a statement.
“As ever, he remains grateful to his physicians for their excellent care, and his friends and supporters for their encouragement and good wishes,” the statement added.
“Senator McCain looks forward to returning to work as soon as possible.”
A day earlier McCain received an MRI scan at the National Institutes of Health, also in Bethesda, his office said.
He will continue to receive targeted radiation and chemotherapy treatments at NIH “while maintaining a regular work schedule in the United States Senate,” it added.
McCain, who has been critical of President Donald Trump, proved to be a crucial vote on Trump’s effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act health law.
The veteran senator, along with two other Republicans, voted against the bill, dooming the measure in a deep embarrassment to the White House.
He is again being closely watched for his vote on the current major bill before Congress, an overhaul of the tax code.
McCain voted for the measure last month, but it is expected to come before the chamber, where Republicans hold a narrow 52-48 majority, again in the coming weeks for a vote on final passage. No Democrats are currently supporting the measure.
Should McCain’s return be delayed, prospects for the tax overhaul would narrow substantially.

Your margin for repentance is narrowing, John. One of those side effects might be your soon demise.
Then things will likely get much hotter for you.
Normally I wouldn’t speak Ill of the sick or dying
But in this POS’s case I could make an exception
My mother-in-law was just remarking about “John McCain the hero” the other day…sigh…
“Why do you think he’s a hero?” I asked.
“He was a POW in Vietnam and lived through it” she replied….sigh…
Can you all please post your BEST info here on this thread that I could show her what he REALLY stands for…his actual intent…
This needs to be your really good stuff that we can all use to inform others.
Thanks!!

“He will continue to receive targeted radiation and chemotherapy treatments…”
OUTSTANDING!!!
ROOTIN’ FOR FATAL!!!!!
The kind of brain cancer he has is almost always fatal within a few years, no matter what treatments are thrown at it:

Granted, BMF, but the reason I cheered was because those ‘treatments’ (notice they DON’T call them CURES… because they know damn well they’re NOT!), will end up killing the POS quicker than the cancer by itself would.
His wife and Sean Spicers wife both work with marketting and distribution of alcoholic beverages on the west coast. Yes and that’s why it’s such a friggin swamp. In their private lives they are clinking champagne glasses behind the scenes.
He among many, Schumer et al., need to leave this world from a slow rope hanging, ala described by Mr Shively…on many occasions.
Passing surrounded by tearful family members is a great reward for these Traitorous scum…!!
It means they got away with fkng us over with their brotherhood maggotry all these decades…
How lucky he is that he gets to go peacefully, at least we can take solice in that his true joo masters won’t share their cures and life extension with their goyim slaves…
Fk u to hell John McCain… we will be sending many of ur kind right behind u…!!
Yep, and your also a lousy pilot! LOL
