The excerpt below is sad news. My mother is recovering from breast cancer. I say “recovering” because, as far as I know, until five years have passed without recurrence, a woman is not “in the clear.” January 2005 will be the second anniversary of her surgery. I myself was confronted with cysts and biopsies that same month and year. It briefly brought me nose to nose with my mortality. I do wish Elizabeth Edwards all the best as she pours her energies into fighting this.
Elizabeth Edwards, the wife of John Edwards, the former Democratic vice-presidential candidate, received a diagnosis of breast cancer on the day his running mate, Senator John Kerry, conceded the election, a spokesman announced Thursday.
