California Senate Candidate, Carly Fiorina was hospitalized with an infection Tuesday morning. The Republican candidate’s infection has been determined to be related to her breast cancer surgery that she had last summer.

Fiorina’s chief of staff, Deborah Bowker said, “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.”

The 56-year-old Carly Fiorina expects to get back on schedule as soon as possible, although it may take a little while. She is going up against California Incumbent Senator Barbara Boxer in the November 2 elections. Boxer is seeking her 4th term in office, but the race appears to be very tight.

Fiorina has served as chief executive officer of Hewlett-Packard from 1999 – 2005. She has also worked for AT&T. She has been considered as one of the more powerful women in business.
