BOSTON — Former Sen. Paul Tsongas was in serious condition Friday at a Boston hospital, where he was being treated for pneumonia.
The pneumonia is complicating his recovery from liver surgery Jan. 10, officials at Brigham and Women’s Hospital said.
Tsongas, 55, was admitted to the hospital Jan. 3 with an irregular heart beat and liver problems blamed on two bome marrow transplants he has had since diagnosed with cancer.
There is no evidence of a cancer recurrence, hospital officials said.
