HYANNIS PORT, Mass. (AP) - Sen. Edward Kennedy, who is being
treated for brain cancer, has been taken to a hospital near his
Cape Cod vacation home after complaining of feeling ill.
Barnstable police Sgt. Ben Baxter says a 911 call from the
Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port came about 5 p.m. Friday.
Baxter says Kennedy was taken by ambulance to Cape Cod Hospital.
He says Kennedy was "alert and responsive" during the trip.
Representatives of Kennedy and the hospital did not immediately
return calls seeking comment.
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 increasing his public
activity.
