On Saturday May 17, Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts had a seizure. He was air lifted to Mass General for medical care and testing. Kennedy, 76 is the second longest running senator in Massachusetts. On May 20, doctors released the information that Kennedy has tumor in the left parietal lobe of his brain. Vomiting, seizures, and headaches can all be symptoms of brain tumors. There are two treatments for these tumors, radiation and chemotherapy. It has not yet been decided what treatment will be used for Kennedy, as more tests will be given. Although still in the hospital it has been reported that Kennedy has been in good spirits and full of energy. In the U.S. 20,000 people are diagnosed with brain tumors and more than half die within 18 months. Kennedy is the only living of his three brothers and hopefully can make it through this obstacle.
