Sen. Edward Kennedy has a malignant brain tumor. The hospital treating Kennedy released a statement today saying that the tumor was found during tests after the senator had a seizure Saturday. The tumor is in his left parietal lobe. Full story soon.- Taken from CNN.com
Right now there is no actual article on Sen. Kennedy's condition. I've been flipping through the Big 3 and there are talking heads mentioning how he seemed to be in good condition and was walking. One on MSNBC mentioned how Sen. Kennedy was watching movies with his sons in the hospital.
Let's hope its nothing that the Liberal Lion cannot beat. From what I've been reading and hearing, the standard treatment is radiation, surgery chemotherapy. Survival depends on where exactly it is and other factors. CNN said it is glioma. Hopefully we will know more later.
No matter what your opinion is of Sen. Kennedy, there is no denying that he is an icon for the Democratic party and liberal ideology.

There is an updated story by the AP hosted on Yahoo. From what I'm hearing, having a glioma is not a good sign. Apparently it can be fast spreading.
