Thread: Doctor Says Kennedy’s Brain Surgery Is Successful

I've never been a fan of Ted Kennedy's but I wish him well. My suggestion is that he call it quits in the senate and enjoy what little time he has left.

Senator Edward M. Kennedy successfully underwent surgery at Duke University Medical Center on Monday for a malignant brain tumor, the doctor who performed the procedure said Monday afternoon.

Mr. Kennedy, 76, was diagnosed two weeks ago with a malignant glioma in the upper left portion of his brain after suffering a seizure at a family residence in Cape Cod. He underwent surgery on Monday after initial treatment at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston..


Dr. Friedman said after the procedure that Mr. Kennedy should “experience no permanent neurological affects from the surgery.”
“The surgery lasted roughly three and a half hours and is just the first step in Senator Kennedy’s treatment plan,” he said. “After a brief recuperation, he will begin targeted radiation at Massachusetts General Hospital and chemotherapy treatment.”
Mr. Kennedy’s office issued a statement at around 6:30 a.m. on Monday saying that he expects to remain in the hospital at Duke for about a week and then return to Massachusetts, where he will undergo chemotherapy and radiation at Massachusetts General Hospital.Mr. Kennedy said in the statement that he and his wife Vicki, “along with my outstanding team of doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital, have consulted with experts from around the country and have decided that the best course of action for my brain tumor is targeted surgery followed by chemotherapy and radiation.”
He said that, “after completing treatment, I look forward to returning to the United States Senate and to doing everything I can to help elect Barack Obama as our next president.”

Not unexpectedly and as if on cue, the voice of irrational hatred chimes in.

Good thing Kennedy isn't a part of the socialized health care he wants to foist on the rest of the country. At his age the doctors would give him a coiuple of aspirsn & kicked his fat ass out the door.

Never fails to amaze, does it? The sanctity of life only extends to those in your own party to most people I guess.

A malignant glioma is pretty close to a death sentence. Amazing that people wish a long, slow, miserable, and painful death on others. A 15% 5 year survival rate.

Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) for previously untreated malignant gliomas

Migi, shame on you. I'm shocked that you would cheer on Kennedy's predicament. After all you both share so much in common. Old age, cranky and neurologic difficulties.

What does that have to do with your irrational wish of a slow death on someone? I don't like you at all, but I certainly don't wish a brain tumor on you.
