Sen. John McCain was hospitalized again this week as he contends with an aggressive form of brain cancer and is reportedly not looking so healthy, but colleagues are optimistic that he will return to Capitol Hill soon.
The Republican from Arizona had missed votes Monday and Tuesday, and on Wednesday it was revealed he was "receiving treatment at Walter Reed Medical Center for normal side effects of his ongoing cancer therapy," according to a statement from his office.
Sources told CNN that McCain, who is 81 years old and was diagnosed in July with a primary glioblastoma, has been less chatty and not looking as healthy as he once did.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, a close friend of McCain's, said he spoke to McCain's wife, Cindy, on Wednesday for an update, which he indicated bore positive news.
