Elizabeth Edwards
A message went out from John Edwards yesterday:
Elizabeth and I are so grateful for your prayers and wishes. Your support means a great deal to us during this difficult time.As you may have heard, yesterday we found out that Elizabeth’s breast cancer is back, but confined mainly to her bones. Although this isn’t the news we wanted to hear, we are very optimistic. Having been through many struggles together in the past, we know that the key is to keep your head up, keep moving and be strong. And that’s exactly what we intend to do.Elizabeth and I have been married for nearly 30 years and we will be in this every step of the way together. We will keep a positive attitude and always look for the silver lining—that’s what we do.
Although the cancer is no longer curable, it is treatable, and many patients in similar circumstances have lived full, energetic lives. We expect nothing less for Elizabeth. She expects to do all the things next week that she did last week.
Our campaign goes on and it goes on strongly. We are so proud of the campaign we are running—a campaign based on ideas and reaching out to people. This campaign is not about me or Elizabeth—it’s about all the people we have met these past few years and people like them all across America and the world—people worried about feeding and clothing their kids; people without health care; people facing hardships overseas.
Both of us are committed to this campaign. We’re committed to this cause and we’re committed to changing this country we love so much.
Thank you again for your support and for standing with us.
John Edwards
The campaign asks that if you would like to send well wishes, you can do it through a page on their campaign website. You can also send messages through Elizabeth’s MySpace page.
I would like to give props to Tony Snow for his sensitive words on the subject yesterday. He’s a cancer survivor himself, so the phrase “there but for the grace of God…” are more than just words for him.
The prayers of all of us here at R-Cubed are with you Elizabeth.
