Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) is responding well to radiation and chemotherapy treatments for brain cancer, his wife reported in an e-mail to friends and family obtained Monday by The Associated Press.
The senator is tired, but otherwise doing well, the AP reports.
He exercises every morning before his treatments. Excellent.
"The only side effect is fatigue, and that word has never been in Teddy's vocabulary before," Vicki Kennedy e-mailed. "But he's learning to cope with it. As I have mentioned to many of you, he is tackling cancer with his trademark grit and determination, and he is doing everything he needs to do to regain his strength and health." [...]
Vicki has drawn the line at letting her husband go sailing in thunderstorms, but other than that reports that he sails nearly every day.
I don't even like to drive in thunderstorms, and he wants to go sailing in one. Go, Teddy!
Senator Kennedy is planning to go back to work in September.
