Melanomas do not turn into gliomas.

Gliomas are primary tumors. They neither orignate nor extend outside the nervous system. However, a metastatic (secondary) tumor could originate from cancer in another location. Melanoma is pretty high on the list when it comes to association with brain tumors.

Did Kennedy have melanoma at an earlier time?

I don’t know if Kennedy had a melanoma. Other freepers probably know.

Somewhat off topic, I hope the family is watching his ex-wife Joan. She’s had a difficult time.
