BREAKING: Kennedy has a brain tumor

You’ll probably see this news elsewhere before here, but I just saw this come across the feed reader: Doctors say Sen. Edward Kennedy has a brain tumor

BOSTON – Sen. Edward M. Kennedy has a malignant brain tumor. 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, they said.

His treatment will be decided after more tests but the usual course includes combinations of radiation and chemotherapy.
