Very bad news:
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy say he has a malignant brain tumor.
Doctors for the Massachusetts Democrat say tests conducted after Kennedy suffered a seizure this weekend show a tumor in his left parietal lobe. His treatment will be decided after more tests but the usual course includes combinations of radiation and chemotherapy.
There's no word in the story on Kennedy's prognosis, but malignant brain tumors are rarely a good thing. For what it's worth, best wishes to Senator Kennedy and his family as they embark on the difficult journey that they are about to take.
