Yay, Elizabeth!

Edwards emerges from cancer with grace:

Elizabeth Edwards, the wife of former Democratic vice presidential candidate and U.S. Sen. John Edwards, says in a new book that she survived a harrowing battle with advanced breast cancer last year that left her too depleted for public appearances.

Largely out of the public eye since her husband's loss to the Bush-Cheney ticket in 2004, Edwards describes in a forthcoming autobiography how she endured months of grueling treatment in early 2005. The treatment included chemotherapy, surgery and radiation with side effects, including nausea, loss of hair and nerve damage in her hand that made it difficult to write.

The best news? Elizabeth says the cancer seems to be gone! I hope to get a review copy of this (Elizabeth, if you're still around, talk to your publisher ), but either way I'll put it up in the Amazon store. Elizabeth, welcome back to public life. We're so glad you're better.
