Turns out Ted Kennedy has a brain tumor: "The most common variety of Kennedy's type of cancer carries a median survival time of about 12 to 15 months, though his doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital did not release enough details for other experts to give a precise assessment of Kennedy's condition... Even with the best treatment, only 25 percent of patients with the most common form of malignant glioma survive as long as two years. At three years, the survival rate drops to about 5 percent... Kennedy's doctors said his tumor is in his left parietal lobe, which experts said raises the question of whether removing it would affect his brain's language center, which is nearby."
Rico says he wouldn't wish this on anyone...
