I mean, Jimmy Carter got it sorted.
For now.
I thought he had skin cancer?

A temporary replacment would be named by the Governor (R) and an election would be held at the next available normal election.I don't wish cancer on anyone so my condolences.
Serious question: Can/will this affect his decision making process and would his seat be up for a special election if he resigned for health reasons?
Yep. I expected something like this to come to light. He was clearly unwell.That might explain the strange behaviour during the comey interview
Someone said that in AZ, the governor has to appoint a replacement senator from the same party and the seat will be put up for a special election during the next general (so, in '18)I don't wish cancer on anyone so my condolences.

carter recovered and he's like 90?
but yeah, very rare exception
I thought he had skin cancer?
Welp, looks like I was wrong. CNN is reporting he intends to return to the Senate.
Wow. Fuck cancer.
He had skin AND brain cancer.
Which is precisely why people saying harsh stuff in the order thread was so damn deplorable.

I'm guessing he's going to be out for a long time. This really puts a damper on any/all Senate votes

Woah, I have a neuro nurse wife, too!My nuero nurse of a wife says this is one of the worst ones you can be diagnosed with.
Cancer really sucks.

Which he was just re-elected in November. So would that be the 2022 election?A temporary replacment would be named by the Governor (R) and an election would be held at the next available normal election.

Can his seat flip blue?
Glioblastoma, that's the most aggressive form of brain cancer. Combined with his age and the already extremely low survival rate, his chance of survival isn't good
damn.
no, the next general in 2018 to serve out the remainder of the term.Which he was just re-elected in November. So would that be the 2022 election?
Can his seat flip blue?
Median survival rate for a glioblastoma in a middle-aged man is about 11 months (Ted Kennedy lasted about that long). McCain is 80. This is assuming it hasn't yet metastasized and that it is correctly identified and not some non-brain cancer local to the brain [initial diagnoses are often incorrect about the specific pathology]. My guess would be he'll be gone this year.
