Blesssings on Elizabeth Edwards
Bad news for the Edwards family:
“John Edwards is suspending his campaign for President, and may drop out completely, because his wife has suffered a recurrence of the cancer that sickened her in 2004, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, an Edwards friend told The Politico.
“At a minimum he’s going to suspend” the campaign, the source said. “Nobody knows precisely how serious her recurrence is. It‚Äôll be another couple of days before there‚Äôs complete clarity.”
“For him right now he has one priority which is her health and the security of the two young children,” said the friend.
As for the campaign, “You don’t shut this machine off completely, but everything will go on hold.”
This is bad. As one with the first stages of Lymphoma, who’s wife survived Colon cancer and who’s mother died of lung cancer (another non smoking occurrence), I know cancer. When it metastasizes to the bone it’s not a good sign. My mother’s spread to the bone in the same area (ribs) as Mrs Edwards. But our family prayers are with John Edwards, Elizabeth and their family during this time.
UPDATE: Via comments (h/t crosspatch), Edwards will NOT be suspending his campaign. Seems the Politico is 0-2 on breaking news stories.
Well said and good thoughts for them and your family too.

Bad and sad news. Elizabeth Edwards, wife of presidential candidate John Edwards, spoke to us today about life and hope. The Edwards announced that Elizabeth’s cancer has returned. Both appeared vibrant, hopeful and positive. They, and especially Eliz…
No, he isn’t suspending his campaign. See this blog at Politico
Edwards is not suspending his campaign. He is still in. Drudge has the story too.
I might add to my above comment that it is indeed bad news for the Edwards family and a tragedy in human terms no matter what the political differences may be between us.
Thoughts and prayers for the Edwards family and of course yours Mac.
Cancer is an awful disease to be faced by any family and I must that while I am political odds with John Edwards he was to be admired today in the support and love he did show for his wife.
Definitely a horrible thing to find out, ever, no matter who you are. I hope that there is something they can do for her.
No matter how much I dislike her hubby’s politics, cancer isn’t something I wish upon anyone.
