Poor woman. I hope Freepers behave themselves and show some respect for the sick.
I think they will.
Well, as Edwards is still a Senator, she should be covered as a family member on his health plan [I hope]. And congressional medical care is extra good, like other perks. Thus it is to be hoped that with early treatment she'll be made whole.
Well frankly, my first thought upon hearing the news was to be reminded of Liz Edwards' suggestion -- when they bristled at Kerry's politicization of their daughter -- that the Cheneys were ashamed of their daughter for being gay.
So, naturally, the question presents itself: Does the failure of the Kerry/Edwards campaign to drag out Liz Edwards' sickness as a campaign issue before the election mean that John Edwards was ashamed of his wife for having cancer? Hmmmmmmmmm?
I do wish Mrs. Edwards well and sincerely hope she recovers. I don't wish cancer of any kind on anybody (well, maybe Arafat). But after all these people have said and done, you'll forgive me if I'm not in a particularly conciliatory mood.

I am sorry for her but would you want to be the Doctor that treats her?
Yes, I hope so too but I would really like to know if she has a history in her family of breast cancer or if she ever had an abortion.
