A brain tumor took my Mom, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. If his is untreatable, and it looks as if it may be, I hope they’re able to manage the pain.

Whether or not they can even partially remove it with surgery,--and that's assuming that Kennedy is a candidate--, the prognosis is still unfavorable. I don't doubt that the issue of palliative care has at least been brought up, if only as a worst-case scenario, along with the option of clinical trials.

I'm sorry for your loss.
