Cancer in Remission, Kennedy Set for June Return

Share

(Newser) – Sen. Ted Kennedy should be back at work after the body’s Memorial Day recess, Majority Leader Harry Reid said today after hearing from Kennedy’s wife that the 77-year-old’s brain cancer is in remission. Kennedy has spent much time at home in Massachusetts since the diagnosis last May, the Hill notes; his return should coincide with health initiatives near to his heart.

Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., should be able to return to his duties full time in June, as his brain cancer is in remission, the Hill reports.

That's one death that Ted K may or may not be responsible for. Have you counted up the deaths your heroes bush, cheney and rumsfeld are responsible for?
