Kennedy leaves hospital after tumour biopsy
A square bandage at the back of his head marked the spot where doctors performed a biopsy on Monday that led them to conclude the 76-year-old Massachusetts Democrat suffered from a malignant glioma. Experts say such tumours are almost always fatal.
Kennedy’s dogs, Sunny and Splash, greeted him at the hospital door. Hospital workers and well-wishers greeted Kennedy with applause, which he acknowledged with a thumbs up. Before he and his wife, Vicki, got into a dark Chevrolet Suburban, he kissed his daughter, Kara, and his niece Caroline Kennedy.
