In political news, Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards and his wife Elizabeth have revealed that she has been diagnosed with cancer again. But John Edwards said the campaign would go on.
John Edwards: “We have been confronted with these kinds of traumas and struggles already in our lives, and we know from our previous experience you have a choice: You can go cower in the corner and hide, or you can be tough and go out there and stand up for what you believe in. Both of us are committed to the cause. We’re committed to changing this country that we love so much, and we have no intention of cowering in the corner.”
Elizabeth Edwards was first diagnosed with breast cancer in the final weeks of the 2004 campaign. She underwent several months of radiation and chemotherapy. This week, doctors found the cancer had returned and that it had spread to her bones. Doctors say her cancer is inoperable.
