You got it.
Yup.
Feels like the Twilight Zone.......
Reading on another thread, I did not notice that he did not touch her during his little presser.
Cancer cells migrate silently through the lymphatic system and blood stream. In the case of invasive ductal breast cancer, the cancerous cells can spread even before the primary site is identified. Breast cancer has the potential to spread to almost any region of the body. The most common region is bone, followed by the lung, liver and brain.
After my son returned from serving as a combat soldier in Iraq he was diagnosed with sarcoma and went through two years of hell between major surgery, chemo and radiation. (He has now defied all odds and is in his 3rd year "cancer-free")
I honestly don't know what in the world John Edwards is thinking - I hope he reconsiders for her sake.
I have no idea what she thinks or knows about the treatment "they said" she is going to receive. Not curable, but treatable.
I'm so suspicious of him and his lust for power, I am sitting here pondering several possibilites.
Probably not. And, you are correct....you have to see DU to believe it.
From what Elizabeth said at the press conference, the treatments will not make her as sick as her last round of Chemo. FWIW...
I agree with you. I think we're jumping to too many conclusions without knowing more about what's going on. I also think it's highly possible that Elizabeth wants the campaign to go on, if for no other reason than to try and convince herself that life will go on as before. She has to deal with this news and everything doesn't get all worked out at once. I don't see that it's such a loving thing at all for her husband to shut his life down and take her on a cruise. That shouts "you're gonna die, honey." They have a lot of thinking and soul searching to do. The children will figure in a lot and I figure that they will end the campaign after they've thought it through and get more info from the doctors, unless the prognosis is much better than it looks to be at this point. I wish them both well.
No, we don't; I often wonder if I could be as brave as she was. I doubt it........LOL.
The more I think of this and what cancer patients go through, the madder I am getting.
Sure we all went on with our normal live, but we were NOT flying all over the country 24/7 for 365 days a year; we worked 9 to 5 jobs and were together nights and weekends.
As a family; not as a new item.
"You write: Please, please, please refrain from saying asinine things that justify every caricature of conservatives.
I am offended that you would put us in the same league as liberals. I doubt if you will find anything posted here other than people praying for her well being.......whether you had posted that plea or not."
WRONG!! I see many unnecessary comments being made here.
I do too. This is surreal.
That's because they won't be using the drug of first choice again.
WHAT!
Wanting is one thing, assessing his realistic chances is quite another. They're both educated people. They both know his chances are next to zero.
FGS, he's going to a FUND RAISER tonight!!!
Every one of the possibilities is ugly, onyx.
The worst part of the news conference was when Edwards said that there are those who want us to cower in the corner, we will not cower in the corner.
Talk about turning her illness political. Blechh.
