Senator Edward Kennedy Undergoes Surgery, Radiation, and Chemo Therapy

On Monday, Senator Edward Kennedy had 3 ½ hours of surgery done to cut out as much of his cancerous brain tumor as possible. The surgery was successful and chemotherapy and radiation will be done next to shrink whatever is left of the tumor. In the next days to come, he will most likely be given drugs to prevent brain swelling and seizures. He will also be closely watched for possible bleeding and blood clots.

The Senator was diagnosed with a malignant glioma last month, which is an often lethal brain tumor, after he suffered from a seizure at this home in Cape Cod and had to be hospitalized.

Oldest Brother from Pop Group Hanson Leaves Hospital

Isaac Hanson, oldest brother of the pop group Hanson, left the hospital on Friday after doctors removed a blood clot that made his right arm painfully swell during a concert. He had surgery on Thursday for venous thoracic outlet syndrome, which interrupted the blood flow from his arm to his heart.

In the next few months, he will have to have a rib removed to help to open his vein and prevent any more clots. In the meantime, he will have to be on blood thinners. His condition isn’t life threatening but there is a chance that it can cause permanent disability if it isn’t treated in good time.
