Nothing more yet...

This could have significant impact on a host of issues. Can people leave their personal stuff aside on this thread?

Get well and enjoy your retirement on the Beach Teddy.

I bet secretly in his heart, someplace down deep, John Kerry is now enjoying the fact that his title will finally be “The Senior Senator From Massachusetts”.

No more second fiddle.

[CDHart]

I can't stand the man, but I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Prayers going up for his health.

Sad for anyone, but YOU mean his LIVER IS FINE???

[Scotswife]

The guy has survived accidents...he survived a plane crash (or was it a helicopter?)

My bets are on Teddy beating the tumor - even if it is a nasty one.

Liberalism is a form of brain cancer. Most Liberals live with it for years and never improve.

I just lost my 78 year old Mother to cancer in Feb. and would not wish this on anyone. Very sad news for all the family.

[Sue Perkick]

And a malignant one. Keeping him & his family in prayer.

[JimSEA]

This is sad and unfortunate in many ways. It is more difficult to deal with a “legend” than a man. At this time our prayers to him and his family.

If I got this diagnosis, I’d be down at Dr. Burzynski’s clinic in Houston tomorrow for antineoplaston therapy.

May be asking a lot with that comment, but here's the prognosis:

WHO grading system for astrocytomas WHO Grade 1 — e.g., pilocytic astrocytoma WHO Grade 2 — e.g., diffuse or low-grade astrocytoma WHO Grade 3 — e.g., anaplastic (malignant) astrocytoma

WHO Grade 4 — glioblastoma multiforme (most common glioma in adults) The prognosis is the worst for grade 4 gliomas, with an average survival time of 12 months. Overall, few patients survive beyond 3 years.

Twenty-five years ago my mother-in-law was diagnosed with a brain tumor. She was only 55 y.o. From diagnosis to her last breath was approximately only seven weeks.

Many medical advances have been made since then. I am praying for a better outcome for Senator Kennedy and his family.

[Dan Nunn]

Best wishes to his family.

Be careful.

Geesh, not a good diagnosis... prayers for Sen. Kennedy and his family...

[Wally_Kalbacken]

It ought to be interesting to see how this is treated, and I don't mean in a medical sense. You may have noticed the way that Lee Atwater has been treated in the MSM over the years since his death. Reviled while alive, he only became a source of wisdom for purposes of the press when he regretted his hardball politics and implicitly criticized some conservatives while on his deathbed. Something tells me that if Kennedy is terminal, this will be conflated into a massive effort for national health care. Not that his developing such a tumor has anything to do with it, but merely that it will be converted into a cause (The Edward Kennedy National Health Bill of 200x", etc.) Stay tuned.

I just can’t wait to see who Deval appoints to take over .... but then Ted could be a blithering idiot on life support and they’d let him keep his office.

[whitedog57]

Suppose that Senator Kennedy is no longer able to perform his job (yes, I will hold the jokes). Devil Patrick will appoint another wild leftist to replace Kennedy. Dems lose seniority, but other than that it is business as usual in Mass.

[HungarianGypsy]

I am leaving aside personal feelings, so do not think this is meant to be vicious. It’s more making fun of yahoo’s poor word placement. I went to check my yahoo mail and the headline was cut off so it read Doctors say Senator Kennedy has a brain...

That said, I hope for the best for him.
