Elizabeth Edwards' cancer has returned

The following news was just released:

Mrs. Edwards, 57, was first diagnosed with cancer in the final weeks of the 2004 campaign. The day after Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry and Edwards, his running mate, conceded the election to George W. Bush, Edwards announced that his wife had invasive ductal cancer, the most common type of breast cancer, and would undergo treatment.

Mrs. Edwards underwent several months of radiation and chemotherapy for the lump in her breast. Her husband's campaign has said she had recovered from the illness.

John Edwards said a biopsy of her rib had showed that the cancer had returned.

The bone is one of the most common places where breast cancer spreads, and once it does so it is not considered curable.

But how long women survive depends on how widespread the cancer is in the bone, and many can survive for years. The longer it takes for cancer to spread after the initial tumor, the better the prognosis. She was diagnosed in 2004.

No matter how you feel about John Edwards running for president, you have to admire Mrs. Edwards strength and determination.  She will be in my thoughts and prayers as she fights this battle for her life.

Isn't it strange how this cancer pops up
during election years?

I'm sure she'll be healed after he finds out
the sympathy vote won't work...again.

Democrats.
