Update on John Edwards Campaign



The first report I saw this morning at the LA Times online was that John Edwards had halted his campaign. Apparently that report was premature. The most recent report is that he will continue his campaign. What that means in the long run is uncertain of course. (The LA Times report includes video of the press conference).
The report is that Elizabeth Edwards' cancer has returned and spread to the rib. When cancer spreads to the bone, it is considered incurable but treatable. They will be working with chemo and radiation in the hope that this will stop the spread of the cancer and enable Elizabeth to live a long and productive life. They compared it in the video feed to dealing with diabetes. It doesn't go away, but people live long lives with the disease.

Edwards says that if he can't deal with this crisis then he shouldn't be president. It is true that there is no greater crisis than when it hits home in the family. May he draw strength from this event, whether or not he ends up as our next president.


I will try to keep up with this and share what I know. Again, I extend my prayers to both Elizabeth and John in this time of crisis for them.
