Ed Shultz update:

[chknltl]

Ed Shultz has been off TV and radio awhile now. He just called into his radio show,10:15pst. His voice filled with obvious emotion, he informed us that his wife Wendy, just completed an operation to remove ovarian cancer, that the doctors were optimistic. He plans on spending more time with his wife and he thanked everyone for their good wishes and prayers.

[grantcart]

1. best wishes to Ed and his wife.

[sasha031]

2. Thank you for the update, I was listening too

Prayers to the both of them.

[chknltl]

10. Hardly sounded like Ed

He is a big man and often quite bombastic sounding on his shows. That call was humble, drained. You could tell he was fighting back the tears.

[JitterbugPerfume]

4. Ed Schultz is a treasure

Best wishes to his family

[chknltl]

6. In his eyes, Wendy is the treasure nt

[happerbolic]

27. Wendy Being the Jewel...

... inset to his crown. I'm sure a integral piece to Ed's life-journey that has got him to where he is now. Treasure having stability in one's life such as that.

Get well soon, Wendy!

45. Why did I see this as circling buzzards?

[Skidmore]

49. Those birdies are fine with me. They are ever so much better than that little crawling bug

that someone had. I always had to resist the urge to swat my screen.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

62. Problem solved.

[Plucketeer]

72. I'm with you regarding that bug gif

I can honestly state that that bug forces me to scroll the poster's comments out of view.

Best, most sincere wishes to Wendy and Ed.

[happerbolic]

73. Got the darn thing...

...off an exotic bird forum. I believe it was meant to represent some macaws lurking about, but I can easily see how it looks like buzzards Time for a new sig. line anyways.

[Plucketeer]

74. What forum is that?

We share our home with 4 parrots.

7. ovarian cancer is a real bitch. It isn't often caught in the early stages which makes it so

serious.

I hope she will beat it tho. If the docs are optimistic,that is good.

Every day is a gift...

[whathehell]

8. I just heard him...Mike Papantonio is hosting his show.

He was choked up...His wife Wendy just went through a 3 hour

operation for Ovarian Cancer and the docs said they think they

got it all.

As you may know, Ed credits Wendy

with "converting" him to the Left.

Best to both of them.

[gopiscrap]

9. Prayers and good thoughts go your way Ed and Wendy!!!!!!!!!!

[get the red out]

15. +1

For sure, I lost a friend to Ovarian Cancer a few years ago, her's was quite advanced when found. Prayers and thoughts for a full recovery for Wendy and strength for Ed.

[Windy]

11. Thoughts and prayers are with Ed and Wendy and their family.

I just went through an ovarian cancer scare. Had a high ca125 and a very very large ovarian cyst. It turned out to be a fast growing cystonoma (20 pounds when removed) and non-cancerous. Treatment has greatly improved over the years. Many now survive that wouldn't before. If they got it all and it hasn't spread, her prognosis should be good.

[classof56]

30. Very good to know your ovarian cancer scare was resolved in such a positive way.

I share your thoughts and prayers for Ed and Wendy. May they be well and blessed--they're certainly blessings to many, many of us!

[LonghornJack]

16. Get Well Soon, Wendy

I happened to be listening to Mike on Ed's radio show when Big Ed called in. I could hear the poor guy's voice cracking as he relayed the news to Papantonio and the listeners, so he was obviously hurting. Ed commented that "...this kind of thing shakes you to your bones", and he's right. Wendy is really special; if I remember right, she would help out on the radio show before Ed made it to prime time on MSNBC.

Hang in there, Ed. Your fans have your back. Prayers and positive feelings to Wendy.

[bvar22]

33. Best wishes to Ed, Wendy, and their family.

I was fortunate enough to have been listened to Ed in the early days of his transformation
when he was broadcasting out of North Dakota (Bismark?)


The Right Wing had done a good job of labeling "Democrats" as New England Latte Drinking wimps.

I thought that Ed's "Red Meat Eating, Gun Totin, Two Fisted, Capital "D" DEMOCRAT" (or words close to that) did MORE for the Democratic Party in that area than any other promotional campaign.
It gave a LOT of Mid-West "Cowboys" permission to vote DEMOCRATIC.

Thank You, Ed Schultz.

Cancer is the most scary word anyone will ever hear but there has been lots of progress made for treatment. All the support for Wendy will help her with the battle that she can win, Ed needs our support and well wishes too as it will be very hard for him as well.

51. do what you need to ed

god speed and be well friend

[calimary]

52. Oh shit! Sorry to hear that! I hope she heals quickly and without incident.

No wonder he's been missing lately.

[NeeDeep]

53. Very very best wishes and full recovery Ed

[jill4life]

55. Kept wondering where he was

Was listening too when Ed called in. Heartbreaking to hear him recount what they've been going through. I am praying for Wendy and for their family.

[gopiscrap]

57. Welcome to DU

[90-percent]

56. My wife recently caught cancer

And the prognosis is grim. 40 years of chain smoking and alcoholic thinking had a lot to do with it.

As I've told our family, I used to always have hope, but now it's hopeless.

Best wishes for a complete recovery for Ed's wife, and while I'm at it, the same for Thom Hartmann's wife.

My wife was diagnosed about 2 years ago. She completed chemo therapy and was given a clean bill of health at the beginning of 2011. My greatest hope is that they found it in time and she gets better. We are staying ever vigilant.

[cascadiance]

68. For those who wanted to see him on television this week, check out new episode of Warehouse 13...

He was featured as a news anchor on the opening show this season on Monday night on SyFy channel.

Ed, best wishes for both yours and Wendy's return to being your healthy selves again.
