Elizabeth Edwards News

[nbcrusader]

I know the first thread degenerated into something ugly, but I thought I'd revive the topic with a bit of good news.

Biopsy finds Edwards' cancer has not spread

 

[LoveTown]

this is wonderful news. Hopefully they will be able to get the cancer and she can have a long and happy life.

I missed the first thread, and the fact that you said it turned ugly is really

This is great news, though. May she be on her way to better health, asap.

no shit.

 

[LoveTown]

it did turn ugly. People forgot that it's not an issue of politics, it's an issue of humanity. Sadly, compassion for another living being went out the door in that thread.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I was just reading it, and it makes me sad that it turned to that.

But, anyway, let's all try not to make a repeat of that again and go back to the subject at hand.

 

[Golightly Grrl]

I'm so happy for Mrs. Edwards and her family. May she be on her way to a speedy recovery.

 

[verte76]

I'm really glad to get this news. The chemo will be tough, but she's a tough cookie and she will be OK. Bravo! I was in D.C. when the news broke, it really sucked to hear that.

 

[U2democrat]

I read a quote that when she was trying to explain the cancer to Jack and Emma Claire, she said "Mommys hair will fall out." That made me tear up. God speed to her!

Hopefully she and her family can get this behind them quickly and as painlessly as possible.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

Hoping for the best for Mrs. Edwards and her family

 

[indra]

That's good news. I wish her and her family the best.

 

[anitram]

No metastasis = the best news she could have possibly gotten.

Thanks for the link. I went to the Kerry web site when this news came out to try to leave a msg, but I couldn't find anything.

I got the new People Magazine today, it has an interview w/ Elizabeth. There is a lovely family photo as well, and a beautiful photo of Elizabeth and John.

"She quotes one of her favorite writers Emily Dickinson "Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul"

She says "I've thought about that a lot lately. It's just part of our nature to hope"

 

[U2democrat]

I think I may actually go out and buy People magazine!

 

[verte76]

I get People magazine, so I can't wait to read the article! Good for the Edwards family, I am glad they're keeping their chins up, so to speak.

Me too.

 

[verte76]

Gosh, it's strange. I'm glad that Elizabeth will be able to take time out to recuperate from this fg illness. She's a tough cookie, but my boss had to have chemo and radiation a few years back and it's physically really hellish. You have to have alot of bed rest and stuff because this treatment makes you very nauseated. I'm glad Elizabeth will be OK, but it's not going to be the easiest thing she's ever been though.

 

[Diane L]

Thanks for posting this good news, Doug.

My prayers are with this wonderful woman and her family, always.

[u2sangel]

I really admire Elizabeth and hope all will turn out ok for her!!!!!!!

 

[dazzledbylight]

Localized cancer is good , if your going to be stricken with it at all.

The best of Strength & Luck to Elizabeth & the Edwards Family.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

I tried to find the article on the People site, but I don't see it there. Here's one of the pictures

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

Just got this in an e-mail, if anyone wants to watch..

This week, Elizabeth Edwards talked with NBC's Katie Couric about her breast cancer diagnosis and what women can do to detect and fight breast cancer.

You can watch part of her interview on the "Today" show on Thursday, November 18, 2004. The rest of her interview will air on "Dateline" on Sunday, November 21, 2004 at 7:00 pm ET.

 

[U2democrat]

OMG mrs. springsteen that picture made my heart jump!!!!! it's so adorable!!!!

 

[Norse]

I always really loved Elizabeth. I have read some of her interveiws and speeches and she seems like an articulate, smart and fun gal. I hope she gets better.

 

[Macfistowannabe]

it did turn ugly. People forgot that it's not an issue of politics, it's an issue of humanity. Sadly, compassion for another living being went out the door in that thread.

Mrs. Edwards always seemed like a thoughtful, sensative human being. I apoligize to you for the sake of those who made it political. There are bigger things in life than political baby games. At least, that's what I've always believed.

 

[verte76]

Thanks macfistowannabe. I missed the first Elizabeth Edwards thread because I was a thousand miles away from my computer in Washington D.C. I get the impression that it got fd up with inappropriate partisan bickering. I'm glad this one did not, we are talking about a human being who is a wife, a mother, and a daughter, not just a partisan creature.

 

[U2democrat]

Yeah the previous thread got REALLY bad on account of one person, who has now been banned. It was sickening. But the Edwards' on the today show was absolutely delightful!
