Sen. Kennedy recovering in hospital after seizure
5/18/08
Quote:
BOSTON - Out of immediate danger, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy remained hospitalized as doctors worked to determine what caused one of the nation's best-known senators to suffer a seizure in his Cape Cod home.
famed political family, was flown Saturday morning to a Boston hospital after becoming ill and being treated at the emergency room of Cape Cod Hospital.
His physician said he did not suffer a stroke, as was first feared, and he recovered enough by Saturday afternoon to watch the Red Sox game on television. His wife, Vicki, his three children and his niece, Caroline Kennedy, among others, joined him at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Doctors say Sen. Edward Kennedy has a brain tumor
5/20/08
Quote:
BOSTON - A cancerous brain tumor caused the seizure Sen. Edward M. Kennedy suffered over the weekend, doctors said Tuesday in a grim diagnosis for one of American politics' most enduring figures.

Doctors for the Massachusetts Democrat say tests conducted after Kennedy suffered a seizure this weekend show a tumor in his left parietal lobe. Preliminary results from a biopsy of the brain identified the cause of the seizure as a malignant glioma.
His treatment will be decided after more tests but the usual course includes combinations of radiation and chemotherapy.

The 76-year-old senator has been hospitalized in Boston since Saturday, when he was airlifted from Cape Cod after a seizure at his home.
"He has had no further seizures, remains in good overall condition, and is up and walking around the hospital," said a joint statement issued by Dr. Lee Schwamm, vice chairman of the Department of Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital and Dr. Larry Ronan, Kennedy's primary care physician.
The doctors said Kennedy will remain in the hospital "for the next couple of days according to routine protocol."
"He remains in good spirits and full of energy," they said.
Kennedy's wife and children have been with him each day but have made no public statements.

Malignant gliomas are a type of brain cancer diagnosed in about 9,000 Americans a year — and the most common type among adults. It's a starting diagnosis: How well patients fare depends on what specific tumor type is determined by further testing.
Average survival can range from less than a year for very advanced and aggressive types — such as glioblastomas — or to about five years for different types that are slower growing.
Kennedy, the second-longest serving member of the Senate and a dominant figure in national Democratic Party politics, was elected in 1962, filling out the term won by his brother, John F. Kennedy.

Kennedy eldest brother, Joseph, was killed in a World War II airplane crash. President John Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 and his brother Robert was assassinated in 1968.
Kennedy is active for his age, maintaining an aggressive schedule on Capitol Hill and across Massachusetts. He has made several campaign appearances for the Illinois senator in February, and most recently another in April.

Well, for one, he drove a poor little girl off a bridge, swam out, let her DIE and walked on home and did not say a WORD until the next day...and he is a Senator??? ONLY because of his last name.

Here is a quote from one smart lady:

Quote:
A pompus, arrogant, hypocritical jerk. Him passing any judgement whatsoever on any kind of moral issue is like Charles Manson leading a Bible study.

Unhappy A grim diagnosis: Kennedy's brain cancer is worst kind

BigJ, you have a point and I wouldn't wish what he has on my worst enemy...but the man IS still who he is and what he has done. Same with me...when I am dying of something similar, that is EXACTLY what they will say about me...he's still the same person. I know, I know, it is NOT politically correct, but truth. I feel for him as a human being, but not as the man that he is, put it that way. Matter of fact, know what my wish is? I HOPE he gets over it and it wakes him up to think about that poor girl he left drown and maybe say something about it like a real MAN, finally. My main beef is he should NEVER have been a Senator after what he did and he damned well knows it.

WASHINGTON - A malignant glioma — the diagnosis doctors gave Sen. Edward M. Kennedy — is the worst kind of brain cancer. Malignant gliomas strike almost 9,000 Americans a year. Survival statistics are grim — few live three years and for the worst subtype, half die within a year.

Who lasts longer — and some do — depends on exactly what form of glioma someone has, whether surgeons can cut most of it out, age and some other medical details.
