I’m sure you all have heard the sad news that came out yesterday that Senator Ted Kennedy was Diagnosed with having a Malignant Brain Tumor.

It’s been reported that his Doctors said the test conducted this weekend after Senator Kennedy was rushed to the hospital after suffering a seizure unfortunately showed a tumor in his left parietal lobe of the brain.

His Doctors also said that treatment for this type of tumor, malignant glioma, usually includes a combination of various forms of radiation and chemotherapy.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Senator Kennedy and his family.
