Sen. Kennedy's doctor says brain surgery a success
BREAKING NEWS: Sen. Kennedy's doctor says brain surgery was successful

Kennedy undergoing surgery for brain tumor - Capitol Hill - MSNBC.com

DURHAM, N.C. - Sen. Edward M. Kennedy was at Duke University Medical Center on Monday for a risky six-hour surgery for his cancerous brain tumor, and faces chemotherapy and radiation treatment following the procedure.

The 76-year-old senator was diagnosed last month with a malignant glioma, a lethal type of brain tumor. A statement from the Massachusetts Democrat’s office said the surgery would be performed by one of the nation’s top neurosurgeons, Dr. Allan Friedman.

Experts said surgeons will likely try to remove as much of the tumor as possible while balancing the risk of harming healthy brain tissue that affects movement and speech.

Kennedy is a dead man..........My brother lasted four months with his type of brain tumor. Sure the surgery was a success, what they won't tell you is they can't get it all, it has tentacles that will just grow faster.....chemo won't help, he'll never be back in the Senate....
