Kennedy's brain surgery

"successful"

Sen.Edward Kennedy passed the surgery of brain last Monday. doctors used the most modern instrument to operate brain's Kennedy after they conjectured that they would be successful. doctor had to pay attention on every smallest detail when they took away cancer cell. if they had a little mistake, it would damage the language area of Ken's brain. a notice point was with the old treatment method ,brain cancer people could live 15 months more after surgery,but with a new drug combined modern machine made people live longer. Ken was treated by new method and he was overcame his disease.

* my opinion : Ken was a lucky patient because there were a few people who could pass brain surgery without sequela. the more medicine is progressive ,the more patients save their lives.

* vocabulary

-chemotherapy (n) treat disease by chemistry method

-diagnose( v) conjecturing defend on some foundation
