US Senator Edward M. Kennedy has been diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor in what could be the grim final chapter in a life marked by exhilarating triumph and shattering tragedy. Some experts gave the liberal lion less than a year to live.
Doctors discovered the tumor after the 76-year-old senator and sole surviving son of America's most storied political family suffered a seizure over the weekend. The diagnosis cast a pall over the U.S. Congress, where the Massachusetts Democrat has served since 1962, and came as a shock to a family all too accustomed to sudden, calamitous news.
In an e-mail sent to friends Tuesday, Kennedy's wife, Vicki, said the family was consulting with experts and seeking multiple opinions.
