Presidential candidate John Edwards and his wife Elizabeth announced today that Elizabeth's breast cancer not only had returned, it's spread to her rib bone. What rotten luck. The incredible thing about this is that the Edwardses are taking this bad news as well as humanly possible. They're looking on the bright side; although it's not curable, it is treatable, and Elizabeth Edwards says she can manage it with regular chemotherapy treatments, and the family is going ahead with John's presidential campaign. Some political commentators said that the way Edwards and his wife have taken this news reveal him to be a man of great character and integrity that could actually help his campaign.
You have to hand it to Elizabeth Edwards to be so optimistic in the face of all of this bad news. If I had cancer, beat it back, and was told it had returned, I wouldn't even be half as optimistic. It makes me ask why not.
