John Edwards' Wife has Breast Cancer

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 4 2004 7:00 PM

Submitted by AaronB. Edited By Michael_J_Totten.

On the day John Kerry conceded the election, Elizabeth Edwards was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Spokesman David Ginsberg said Mrs. Edwards, 55, discovered a lump in her right breast while on a campaign trip last week.

Her family doctor told her Friday that it appeared to be cancerous and advised her to see a specialist when she could.


John Edwards said in a statement to the press:

"Elizabeth is as strong a person as I've ever known. Together, our family will beat this."

Ugh. That's really sad, it sucks for her. Fortunately early detection has made treatments a lot more effective.

forget about the election, jerks.. i hate the outcome as all, but don't turn this into a partisan debate. i hope mrs. edwards makes a full recovery. at least one in eight women will get this disease in their lifetime. i hope we can battle it. i'm sure she will get the best treatment possible. i wish this were an option to all women

As someone whose Mom survived breast cancer, I think this comment officially makes you an asshole, and if you were trying to be funny you failed miserably.

What horrified me was that she discovered the lump last week and waited until Wednesday to see a specialist so she wouldn't miss campaign time... just crazy.

I hope she'll be fine, and much love to her and her whole family (and John Kerry too damnit). smile smile

It isn't that crazy that she waited to get the biopsy.
