It is really, really aggressive. My relative lived less than one month from diagnosis to death. Surgery was tried, but he never recovered from it. He was in his 80’s, so older than Kennedy. I think it is a particularly hard way to die, at least for the family.

As I posted earlier on a thread that was locked and/or deleted...

I suspect Senator Kennedy's tumor is particularly aggressive as his Left carotid surgery last October would have included diagnostic tests revealing brain pathology--and both were coincidentally on the same Left side.

Presuming Kennedy had no brain pathology in October, the tumor has advanced to causing seizures in a relatively short time. Grim prognosis for the short term.
