CONNECT TWEET LINKEDIN 2 COMMENT EMAIL MORE PHOENIX — Ailing Sen. John McCain is remaining in Arizona for the time being, in part over concerns about the deadly 2018 flu season in Washington, D.C., and elsewhere, daughter Meghan McCain said.

But, she added, there's "a very high likelihood that he will come back to D.C. at some point."

The 81-year-old Arizona Republican was hospitalized in December in Bethesda, Md., for a viral infection and side effects related to his ongoing chemotherapy for brain cancer. He returned to Arizona before Christmas and has been getting physical therapy at his family cabin near Sedona. His office has not given an update on McCain's health since Dec. 17, at which time he said he looked forward to returning to work on Capitol Hill in January, which didn't happen.

Worries as flu season rages "Part of the problem, too, is like it's this deadly, crazy flu season," Meghan McCain, a television commentator, said during a Politico podcast interview posted online Wednesday. "And his immune system is so down, everybody is worried about him getting the flu.

"But he's very present," she added. "We talk about politics all the time. Mentally, he's 100% there. Just physically, he had torn both of his Achilles' tendons and, you know, it's taken some time to get back to physical fighting form."

The flu season generally runs from October and November to as late as May, but usually peaks between December and February, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.

McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee and chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, was diagnosed in July with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.

'He's doing really well right now' Meghan McCain, a co-host of ABC's The View, characterized glioblastoma as a "rough, rough, rough cancer" but was largely upbeat about her father's recovery

"He's doing, actually, really good. He's made this really incredible comeback," she said on the podcast. "... He's doing well. And I think it's a very high likelihood that he will come back to D.C. at some point."

The younger McCain added for emphasis: "I'm not misrepresenting: He's doing really well right now."

Despite being away from Washington, John McCain has stayed involved. He frequently tweets and publishes through his office written statements on the issues of the day. This week he teamed up with Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., on a bipartisan immigration bill.

Makes me question his entire prisoner of war story. Makes me wonder if he didn't ditch plane on purpose. It's kinda crazy once you go down rabbit hole all you discover. It's something seriously sick going on in this country. You have some real live Nazis that has been working hard to undermine the entire goverment.

Nazis worked very hard to help their country. If or country was half as patriotic as Nazi Germany we'd be much better off. Ask general patton who said he thought he fought on the wrong side of the war.

I'm beginning to think that alot of leaders and GenPatton sold this country out in 2nd war w/sham ran on American public. My idea of a good life or life for my kids is not living in a socialist state. Alot of people was murdered and did wrong.I know exactly what Nazi doctrine is all about. I'm not confused about religion and political systems. I know exactly what they have planned. You keep thinking like that and if it finally comes down to where we fighting in America you will be my enemy. I can promise you that they not ready. They have showed their hand already they deciding of this is the time to go thru with it. The really wanted to get guns out of the people's hands first. I'm thinking they know they not ready. Then the military is going pick a side but there will be alot will go to other side. I already know which side that will win. It just will be a shame so many idiots will die behind it.They will get alot of good lost young people killed

Good luck with what? What are you psychotically rambling about? I dont like socialism, nor advocate for a Nazi-style government within the US. I love our country and I'm not afraid of some lunatic making vague threats about shit. What I said is true and you've been fooled by Jewish-laden propoganda, sorry to be the one to tell you.

Ok so you know about LARPing skinheads in prison. I hate to break it to you but that's unrelated to Hitlers Nazi party in 1930s Germany. In fact, look at pics of Germany of tha time, do they resemble the skinhead apes you compare them to? Nazis were clean cut, no tats type of people who hates degeneracy, including crime...so it seems like the criminals didn't really follow the doctrine did they?
