Breaking News: Kennedy Has Brain TumorStaff reports - May 20, 2008

 | | U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy |
BOSTON — Tests have confirmed that U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy reportedly has a malignant brain tumor.
The Boston Globe is reporting that the 76-year-old Democrat has a malignant glioma in his left parietal lobe. The cancer begins in glial cells, cells that surround and support nerve cells.
The state's senior senator was rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital on Saturday morning after suffering a seizure at the Kennedy Compound on Cape Cod. Kennedy, 76, apparently had another seizure during the medical flight to Boston.
He was reportedly up and feeling well by Saturday afternoon but remained in the hospital for tests, raising questions as to his condition.
In a statement on Tuesday afternoon, his doctors said Kennedy has not had any further seizures and remains "in good overall condition." Treatment for the cancer can include chemotherapy and radiation but that "decisions regarding the best course of treatment for Senator Kennedy will be determined after further testing and analysis."
The senator is expected to spend the next few days undergoing further tests.
Citizens can send sympathy statements to the senator and his family through the senator's Web site.

The majority of compassionate American send our heart felt wishes, that Senator Ted Kennedy gets well very soon. However, my hope he stays out of the immigration tempest, as he was the benefactor of the 1986 Simpson/Mazzoli Control Act, when he promised that their would never be another AMNESTY. It seems almost a definite realization that Mr. Kennedy, along with Madam Feinstein, Speaker Pelosi, Larry Craig connived to add an AMNESTY amendment. Today! NOW! The danger is SEVERE! Let me remind you of the stakes in this fight against illegal immigration.
If it passes, this bill will GIVE AN AMNESTY to about 3 MILLION (MORE) Illegal Aliens agricultural workers and their families for five years (at least!). You the taxpayer will be paying for their medical care, schooling and much more; compliments of parasite employers and farmers. We already have 12 to 30 million in America already, that our humble pockets are paying for? Already hundreds of thousands of people have faxed messages of anger and frustration.
