Former HP CEO and current California Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina has been hospitalized for an infection associated with reconstructive surgery she received following a battle with breast cancer.
“While this will impact her campaign schedule today, Carly is upbeat and her doctors expect her to make a quick and full recovery and be back out on the campaign trail soon,” a spokesman said in a statement. “Carly is looking forward to getting back to her full campaign schedule and to defeating Barbara Boxer on November 2.”
56 year old Fiorina, was treated for breast cancer last year and underwent reconstructive surgery over summer.
An AP report noted that Fiorina was forced to “cancel campaign appearances in Riverside and Coachella just as polls suggested she was starting to gain momentum in her race against Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer.”
