Sen. Kennedy returning to Washington

[October 29, 2008]  WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sen. Edward Kennedy, who has brain cancer and has been recovering on Cape Cod, Mass., is returning to Washington.

Kennedy spokeswoman Melissa Wagoner said the 76-year-old senator was planning to leave the family's Hyannis Port compound on Tuesday afternoon for the District of Columbia. Wagoner said he is expected to return to Cape Cod around Thanksgiving.

Kennedy had a seizure in May and underwent surgery in June for a malignant brain tumor. After undergoing six weeks of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, he has been steadily increasing his public activity.
