Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has been admitted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for recovery from the side effects of another round of treatment for brain cancer, according to his office.
McCain, who missed a third straight day of Senate votes Wednesday, has been undergoing rounds of chemotherapy and radiation to treat glioblastoma, the terminal form of brain cancer he was diagnosed with in July. McCain has been undergoing treatments since early September at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, next to Walter Reed.
Two friends close to McCain, requesting anonymity to speak about his condition, said there were no plans for the senator to resign. In a statement issued from his office, McCain hopes to return “to work as soon as possible.”
Republican leaders expect to hold a vote early next week on the sweeping tax-cut plan that is currently in a House-Senate negotiation. The Senate version initially passed with 51 votes. If McCain missed the vote on final passage, Republicans would not be able to afford a single additional defection or absence to pass the legislation.

Can I get an amen?
The guy won’t resign, he is like scrooge.
They better get a vote soon before he is unable to vote and goes into the final stages of cancer.
Meanwhile we’re battling the effects of John McCain.
>>Can’t he just take a Pill?<<
You mean like and aspirin?
I had breast cancer and went through chemo and radiation. There is areal thing called chemo fog. Everything is just kind of hazy. That alone should be a reason for them to ‘retire’ when diagnosed with a disease such as his.

Odds are even he won’t make it out of the hospital...just saying!!!
30 minute ride to Arlington.
Oh I would be willing to bet he has already made arrangements with our governor on who will be appointed
A glioblastoma is an extremely fast growing, invasive tumor, which can duplicate its size in less than a month, intertwining itself around the brain area as it grows. There really isn’t any treatment other than extending life for several months, unless in the rare cases the growth is somehow arrested. He could possibly be having seizures which is normal progression and probably why he is in the hospital.
Ah laddy, Ya been reading my post again :-)
I think Juan is about to stick his spoon in the wall.
Out of deference to his life of service ( I am not going to comment ya or nay, just follow me here ), I wonder if the "Big Ugly" will be held off until after he passes. I can see PDJT being that gracious and the IG and Sessions...

I despise cancer.
I despise Juan McCain ....
Will take January 24th 2018 in that pool.
Excellent point. I can see PDJT being that gracious as well. Thanks for the link.
Scrooge ultimately had a more humane heart than McC.

“Governors of AZ have for the most part (a couple of exceptions) been undistinguished. Why would anyone expect a good appointment in AZ?”
Well at least it’s not the wretched Napolitano.
