 McCain   81  was diagnosed with brain cancer in July. On Wednesday  his office said he had been admitted to the hospital.
â Senator McCain  is currently receiving treatment at Walter Reed Medical Center for normal side effects of  his  ongoing cancer therapy â  his  office said. âAs ever   he  remains grateful to  his  physicians for their excellent care  and  his  friends and supporters for their encouragement and good wishes.  Senator McCain  looks forward to returning to work as soon as possible.â
âOf course we all wish for  Sen. McCain  to have a great health for as long as possible â Sen. Rob Portman  R-Ohio  said Friday on Fox News. âMy sense is that everybody's made a commitment to be there next week. And we will certainly be able to have the vote. Our prayers go to him and his family.â
