Ted Kennedy’s Brain Tumor Getting Sucked Out

He went to Duke University to have the procedure performed by miniature brain-eating zombie field mice. Thanks to FARK for this lulzy picture that shows the results of the advanced procedure.

Sen. Edward Kennedy, a leading Democrat and patriarch of a prominent U.S. political dynasty, said he would undergo surgery on Monday for treatment of a brain tumor diagnosed last month.

Kennedy, 76, said in a statement he would have “targeted” surgery on Monday at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, followed by chemotherapy and radiation at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

Surgery was to start at about 9 a.m. EDT and was expected to last about six hours, media reports said. Kennedy, the youngest brother of assassinated U.S. President John F. Kennedy, said he expected to be hospitalized at Duke for about a week.

Kennedy was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor called a glioma, a type of tumor that usually kills within three years.

I sure hope he don’t die or nothin!
