Washington - US Senator Edward (Ted) Kennedy is to receive surgery Monday to remove a malignant brain tumour, US broadcaster CNN reported, citing a statement from the 76-year-old veteran politician.
The last surviving Kennedy brother was being treated in the Duke University Medical Centre in North Carolina, and after recuperating at Duke for a week, he was scheduled to start radiation treatment and chemotherapy at Massachusetts General Hospital, the report said.
The long-serving Democratic senator was diagnosed with a glioma, a cancerous tumour of the brain that is particularly dangerous, after he suffered a seizure in May while out walking his dogs.
Doctors said that the seizure was caused by a tumour in Kennedy's left parietal lobe.
When Kennedy, considered the patriarch of the Democratic Party, suffered his seizure, it was met with an outpouring of concern and shock in the United States.
In 1963, Ted Kennedy buried his brother John Fitzgerald (Jack), assassinated when he was president, and in 1968, his other brother Robert (Bobby), who was also assassinated.

timing.
Just can't dispense with the hate, can you SP?
Just can't QUIT dispensing with the hate, can you, SP?
..but I just got done watching 7 years of the same with Bush..by the way how dies it feel on your side of the aisle, for a change? If you need a stroll down memory lane, just holler!
what it is with sp4 .
he hates all democrates and he likes to show his hate ..
big tough guy you know.
Gee, SP, do you have a life??? It dosn't seem to matter which article I look at you have allready been there providing your lackluster opinion. just wondering, but do you only do this on this site or do you feel the need to express your oppinions everywhere.
If you've seen them all, what does that say about you?
After everything I have read about Bush on this site, labeling me a hater is like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500...
do not pick on sp4 .
one can see he is just as brain dead as his hero bush.
...have pity ...
call the plumber. The toilet's backed up and there's SP4 all over the floor.
'After everything I have read about Bush on this site, labeling me a hater is like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500...'
Yet another mixed metaphor from EssPee that makes no sense whatsoever.
Are we going to finally have a Kennedy that dies of natural causes?
trying to criticise god (SP4) he thinks he is and is immune to it all.
SP is as thick as a brick and not quite as smart.
could not stand up to Bill or Hillary in a debate for a New York minute. bush is a failure at everything he attempts and his intentions are slimy, always! Anybody supporting bush at this point desperately needs professional help.
Perhaps there is a chance tha one say a spakle of reality will one day invde the brain of SP4,that'll be the day when he understands that the attacks againsts Bush are not personal but azddress his policies,unlike his attacls directed against Kennedy .At least we are talking torture,invasion,lies,squandering your natural resources,omitting to take any measure against climate change,handing out your government to corporate thieves.Nothing personal in that,except that these are all the wrongdoing of Bush.Notice the difference of nature of these attacks now ?
I agree, SP4's attacks never seem to be about the issue, and that has allways buged me. It's good to know that there are people out there who agree with me:)
