Elizabeth Edwards (Updated)
Some of you may know that Elizabeth Edwards, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, is a sometime member of the TNH community. She's also, as you may know, a breast cancer survivor. Tomorrow the Edwardses are holding a press conference at noon. The word on CNN is that the news isn't good. I hope they're wrong. Think good thoughts.
Update: It's true; Elizabeth's cancer is back, and John is dropping out is NOT dropping out of the campaign to deal with it. I'm heartbroken, first and foremost because Elizabeth is such a wonderful woman, and secondly because John was my guy this presidential cycle. I was on the phone for a good chunk of the press conference and missed that he would be remaining in the campaign--yay! at least for me.
Elizabeth, on the very off chance you see this, I will be praying for a quick and easy recovery. Bless you.

Thats horrible
I hope that Elizabeth is going to be okay. Im not attached to any particular politician but The Edwards have very close connections to my North Carolina home. In fact Robbins, NC where he lived is in the same county where I grew up. I will most certianly be thinking positive things for her if this turns out to be the case.

Lynn,
This is AnneP from New Mexico. I heard the sad news regarding Mrs. Edwards returning cancer this morning. I remember the ecstatic Lynn when the post from Elizabeth Edwards first came in on TNH! I thought of you and your family as soon as I heard the news.
All though I don't always agree with your political views, I am saddened at her pain, and wish her a quick recovery or path to remission.

Very sad news
It sounds as though the cancer has metastasized to the bone. I'm saddened to learn this. May Elizabeth draw from the strength of those who surround her, in person and in spirit.
Anne, it's nice to see you here again, even under these sad circumstances.
