A little over one year ago, my mother-in-law died of this type of cancer. She was initially diagnosed 18 months earlier. She was around the senator's age, too. He may last longer than she did, because he's "somebody important" and no expense will be spared.
I wish him a full recovery and a comfortable (and immediate) retirement.
Honestly, I suspected this was more than a blood clot - but I never considered the possibility that the old coot may actually have to step down. I always figured that he'd slowly fossilize in his Senate chair.
Not looking good. Most glioblastomas are inoperable -radiation just buys some time.
Teddy Kennedy had the same thing. Collapsed at Obama’s first inauguration luncheon during treatment. Died shortly thereafter.
