BREAKING. John Edwards wife diagnosed with breats cancer- Fox News
My prayers for her and her family.
I may not like the woman, but I pray for her to beat this; she's got young children. I wouldn't wish breast cancer on my worst enemy!
Prayers sent up for healing, and drawing closer to Our Lord..
It is too early to know the full story, so we will have to wait.
Another Kerry miscalculation. He should have announced this two days ago. Whether or not it's true. (Gawd, I hate giving these peeple ideers.)
The only question: Who's Edwards gonna sue?
I have a feeling that freepers will be kinder to Mrs Edwards than the DU gang would be if it were Laura Bush that had cancer.
My prayers and best wishes for her and her family.
I pray they have found it in time to be successful in removing it.
I hope she beats it.
I can't help but wonder if all those hormones pumped into her didn't influence this.
There are three forms of estrogen and they are estrone, estradiol and estriol. Each type of estrogen has a different function, but their major responsibilities include developing the female sex organs, maintaining the m. cycle and preparing the body for pregnancy by encouraging the thickening of the lining of the uterus.
Estrogen promotes cell growth making it highly effective in healing. But, it can also speed up the growth of cancer. This dangerous effect of estrogen is negated when balanced by progesterone.
Estrogen causes growth of cells in breast tissues (resulting in breast tenderness). Without progesterone, this cell growth could lead to fibrocystic lumps.
Estrogen increases retention of body fat, salts and fluids.
Progesterone can balance this effect by acting as a natural diuretic and helping convert fat into energy.
Estrogen increases blood clotting; progesterone normalizes it. Estrogen decreases sex drive; progesterone restores it.
For a woman her age to have children, there is NO doubt that she was pumped up with hormones. Her excessive weight may also be a sign of excessive estrogen.
In any event, the kind of cancer she has is easily treated.
Regardless of the political motivations behind the timing of this announcement, if indeed there were any, and our political opinions of Edwards, we offer our thoughts and prayers for Mrs. Edwards.
So let's see, you know how to read God's mind and tell which cancers are his revenge and which aren't? How about the mother of three young children down the street from me who is dying of melanoma. I'm just curious.
You're an idiot.
Prayers for her. I hope nobody told her to wait to see a doctor until after the campaign.
Another idiot.
When I was diagnosed, I asked, "Why did God do this to me? What did I do to deserve this?"
Quite frankly, I was mad at Him for a while. But I learned in time that God has a plan for me, whether I understand it or approve. I just have to trust in him and have faith in His wisdom.
A friend told me, "God only gives you what he thinks you can handle, Chris. I guess He has a lot of faith in you."
And I guess He does, because here I am!
God Bless you 'SweetCaroline'!
"God dont like ugly" (behavior)
The Capt.
Prayers on the way that she be healed quickly and completely.
Oh, Thanks.
Have you NO shame?
Hopefully they got it in time - Prayers lifted.
