Senator Ted Kennedy, who was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor in May, was taken to a Cape Cod hospital by a fire department rescue squad on Friday, CNN has reported.
“Doctors believe the incident was triggered by a change in medication,” a local police spokesman said. “Senator Kennedy will return home tonight and looks forward to watching the debate.”
Kennedy was “alert and conscious” when the emergency squad arrived at his home in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, Sergeant Ben Baxter of Barnstable Police Department told CNN.
His office has said he plans to return to Senate in January.
In June, the 76-year-old Democrat, who is undergoing radiation and chemotherapy, voiced his support for Barack Obama.
“After completing treatment, I look forward to returning to the United States Senate and to doing everything I can to help elect Barack Obama as our next president,” Kennedy said.
