NOTE: THIS IS NOT A GLOAT AT ALL THIS IS MY SINCERE SYMPOTHY!

Looks like John Edwards' wife was diangosed with Breast Cancer on the SAME day her husbad lost the election. That's gotta be hard!

Quote

WASHINGTON — Elizabeth Edwards, wife of former Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards, was diagnosed with breast cancer the day her husband and Sen. John Kerry conceded the presidential race.

Spokesman David Ginsberg said Mrs. Edwards, 55, discovered a lump in her right breast while on a campaign trip last week. Her family doctor told her Friday that it appeared to be cancerous and advised her to see a specialist when she could.

She put off the appointment until Wednesday so as not to miss campaign time.

The Edwards family went straight to Massachusetts General Hospital (search) from Boston's Faneuil Hall after Kerry and Edwards conceded on Wednesday.

Mrs. Edwards had a needle biopsy performed at the hospital, where Dr. Barbara Smith confirmed the cancer, Ginsberg said.

He said the cancer was diagnosed as invasive ductal cancer (search). That is the most common type of breast cancer, and can spread from the milk ducts to other parts of the breast or beyond.

More tests were being done to determine how far the cancer has advanced and how to treat it, he said.

He and she are in for a rough time and I sincerely wish them well. I hope it is local and not metastasized. Watching a loved one go through this is not fun. I've done it twice now.

I'm one of those who will allways spell like it sounds....or at least how it sounds to me....ok that doesn't make sense either.

Marines can't spell!

All the best to them.
