Massachusetts state senator Ted Kennedy diagnosed with cancerous brain tumor

Our state Senator Ted Kennedy was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor after suffering from seizure episodes. Nine thousand people in the U.S. are diagnosed each year, and the life expectancy is 1-5 years after diagnosis for the average person. More than half of the patients diagnosed die within 18 months of the diagnosis. Coverage is wall to wall here, as one would expect. All the best, Senator Kennedy.

Here is a link to a physician authored article on this type of diagnosis. It is good general information on brain tumors. Glioma Brain Tumor: Senator Ted Kennedy, What Does It Mean?
