Sen. John McCain on Thursday thanked people for the “outpouring” of encouragement he received after the Wednesday evening announcement of his brain cancer diagnosis.
“I greatly appreciate the outpouring of support — unfortunately for my sparring partners in Congress, I’ll be back soon, so stand-by!” McCain tweeted.
