    Can't chemo that.

    Gamma knife an proton beam therapy. Hope he gets a good excision, and it's a low grade.

    Otherwise a coma is not too far away in his future..

    A malignant brain tumor killed my grandpa. It's a terrible thing and I send positive thoughts and vibes toward the senator.

    hopefully they can operate or it's benign and not go through radiation.

    Best wishes to TK and his family.

    That's horrible. I hope he lives to see the changes in US health care politics he has been advocating for his whole life.
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    My Dad passed on Dec 16th, 2007 from this very same tumor.This news brings that same feeling I got when my dad was diagnosed. This type of tumor is very serious(not that others aren't)

    I pray for Senator Kennedy and his family
    My dad was big on the Kennedy family

    Long fight? How long could he possibly have? Even without the tumor he was an old fuck and probably didn't have long to go anyway.

    I keep this picture on my desk. I have taken a lot of shit over the years for having it. But, name me another family that has sacrificed more for the USA than the Kennedy's ?

    When I was a little kid, I met Robert F. Kennedy and I will never forget that day. The current and following generations of this family will continue to have a positive effect on our nation. This is a sad time for many long time Democrats.

    My Father died of the same thing in 1979 when he was 49.

    Ted, we need you more than we know, and love you more than we admit.

    Get well & give 'em hell!

    Much love out to the Senator and the Kennedy clan.
