Edward Moore "Ted" Kennedy (born February 22, 1932) is the senior United States Senator from Massachusetts and a member of the Democratic Party.
In October of 2007, Sen. Kennedy had surgery to clear up a blocked left carotid artery.
On May 17, 2008, Kennedy was rushed to Cape Cod Hospital from the Kennedy Compound after feeling ill and consulting with his physician, and then was subsequently transferred by helicopter to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. According to multiple sources, Kennedy was suffering from symptoms of a stroke. It was later reported that Kennedy had suffered two seizures, one initially at his Hyannis Port home and another on a helicopter en route to Massachusetts General Hospital from Cape Cod Hospital. According to sources Kennedy himself made a phone call at 10:00 am to cancel a lunch meeting.
Ted Kennedy is out of Hospital
Ted Kennedy is out of hospital. He told the reporters that he thank us for concerns. Then he went out sailing in the ocean.
Re: Senator Kennedy Has Malignant Brain Tumor
He has an aggressive tumor (cancer). He has about 15 months to live. Less then 10% survive more than 2 years with this type of cancer. Treatment is even more difficult as you get older. Ted Kennedy is 76 years old.
This is a socking, historical development.
