55. Love and prayers...

I'm a 9 year (and counting) survivor of breast cancer. I know the joy of a clean checkup - and I know the fear of recurrence.

You have my admiration for your strength, and my hope and prayers that this is only a bump on the road of recovery. Your husband is showing the character that we in NC have seen in him, he and your children are in our prayers also.

You are so lucky to have a husband who puts you and your health first - I too have had that support, but I have heard so many horror stories from other women suffering from breast (and other) cancers who did not have the support we have had.

Get well. Get the best of care. And remember that half the battle is in looking FORWARD to a future that is cancer-free.

56. Mrs. Edwards, we'll hold the position open for you. Get well!

[Eurobabe]

71. Elizabeth, please have your thyroid checked

There may be some connection between lack of thyroid hormone and breast cancer. http://thyroid.about.com/library/derry/bl1a.htm

I have been following Dr.Derry on my thyroid forum for several years, he has some very interesting info about the connection between too little iodine and breast cancer.

"In 1993 Ghent and Eskin (2) published a landmark paper on the treatment of severe fibrocystic disease of the breast with iodine supplements. This paper was the result of more than 30 years of marvelous research by Dr. Bernard. A. Eskin of the Medical College of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. First in animals and then in humans he proved fibrocystic disease of the breast is the result of low dietary iodine. He has shown also that this can go on to develop into breast cancer.(2-8) I feel Dr. Eskin's research represents a major step toward conquering breast cancer and likely other cancers."

Please take good care of yourself. :hug:

Elizabeth, rest assured that you have my deepest, sincerest and most profound thoughts, prayers, positive vibes and best wishes as you undergo treatment. And your wonderful family has them as well. I have long admired your courage, integrity, grace and passion and have admired your husband’s statesmanship and vision. You and your entire family are an inspiration and the world is better for having the both of you in it.

You and your husband handled today’s press conference with a whole lot of courage and noble dignity. You are both great, wonderful people and I know that you will get through this together.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and once again I wish you all the very best. Please know that you are not alone –thousands of people from across the globe and from all races, religion, walks of life and from all backgrounds will be there for you and your family in spirit and in prayer and in healing thoughts in the days and months ahead.

137. All healing thoughts for Elizabeth and her family

Mrs. Edwards,
First, my wish is for you to win your battle with cancer in spectacular fashion. If ANYONE can, its you!
Second, my wish for you is to have the strength to NEVER give up and NEVER give over. Cancer is a formidable foe and a person's refusal to submit is the best weapon against that which would defeat them.
Third, my wish for you is to become the vibrant, admirable First Lady that we all know it is within you to become.

As one of the earliest supporters of your husband (even before he declared his candidacy) in 2004, one of my biggest reasons for supporting him was, when you see the woman a man has chosen for a wife, it speaks volumes of the man. The minute I became aware of you, my support of your husband was galvanized, and he had my vote.

For that same reason, I wish nothing but the very best for you, your husband and your children, today and always.

Be well Elizabeth.

141. Elizabeth-you are the reason I found DU..

there was a link somewhere else about your post here. I have so much respect for you and your family.
John was ALWAYS my first choice for POTUS and I was overjoyed when Kerry picked him for his running mate. When you guys did the joint press conference with the Kerrys outside somewhere, my heart was just bursting with hope. We need you and John soooo much in this country, but please put yourself first if you need to. BEST WISHES TO YOU-KEEP FIGHTING-WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!

[David Zephyr]

142. Elizabeth, I admire you greatly. Keep fighting!

My mom and aunt, both in their late 80's are breast cancer survivors. They, like you, are fighters and that's what's just so admirable about you!

You and John represent the best in America and your family is an inspiration to millions!

:thumbsup:

[LeftishBrit]

143. Best get-well wishes and thoughts from England!

[vanboggie]

144. What a loving couple and family

You and John are so honest, open and real, and that is why you both have my vote. You will be a terrific First Lady.

Your press conference today was ending just as I left for a mammogram appointment that up till that moment I had been grumbling about. Saddened about your new challenge, I humbly went to the appointment - you changed my attitude in an instant. The courage, strength and the obvious love and support you and your husband share with each other are an inspiration. You both demonstrate real family values that others only talk about. That strength will help you through the rough times as you work toward that speedy remission that we all are wishing for you.

Thank you for being the totally cool, wonderful lady you are and my thoughts and best wishes will be cheering you on as you get through the treatments. As someone above said so well, we'll hold the position open for you.

[marlakay]

145. Its people like you that give us a challenge

to live up to. I know dealing with this in public can't be easy and my prayers for strength go to you.

You have made the world a better place. I am sending you a big hug!

[PerfectSage]

146. Bless you, Elizabeth :)

If you can empty your mind of all thoughts
your heart will embrace the tranquility of peace.
Watch the workings of all of creation,
but contemplate their return to the source.

All creatures in the universe
return to the point where they began.
Returning to the source is tranquility
because we submit to Heavens mandate.

Returning to Heavens mandate is called being constant.
Knowing the constant is called 'enlightenment'.
Not knowing the constant is the source of evil deeds
because we have no roots.
By knowing the constant we can accept things as they are.
By accepting things as they are, we become impartial.
By being impartial, we become one with Heaven.
By being one with Heaven, we become one with Tao.
Being one with Tao, we are no longer concerned about
loosing our life because we know the Tao is constant
and we are one with Tao.

We here on DU are praying for your recovery. I remember how you posted words of hope here after the 2004 election, when we were all so depressed and demoralized. It was the right thing to do at the right time, and it meant so much to me and all of us.

161. Good vibes coming at you

Take the time you need for yourself without worry - the troops are ready to work and deliver the Whitehouse to the Democrats - so you do not need to worry about that.
Take good care of yourself first.

176. My heart goes out to you and your family

Elizabeth,

Am sure the decision for John to stay in the race and to continue campaigning was a deep and difficult choice.

Both of you announcing the results of your recent tests brought tears to my eyes. I want you both to know you have my support, my donations (soon..just got a new job), and my belief that John Edwards is the candidate to support, just as he was my first choice in his presidential bid for 2004.

Your updates and your online blog will be something I will continue to read. I hope you do not have to suffer greatly as you go through treatment, and that you do check into the benefits of intravenous Vitamin C. http://brightspot.org/cresearch/ivccancerpt.shtml

A Toast To the (soon-to-be) New First Lady of The United States! I admire your courage. :toast:

200. I've Supported Your Strength In The Past & Feel You Are An Excellent

example of true courage. I pray you will be one of those who will be a true survivor! I can't tell you how much I admire you and John. I have supported both of you for a very very long time and can't imagine what you may be thinking. If anyone has the heart and soul to beat this thing, it will be both of you working together.

IMO, you and your family are REAL AMERICANS, and have hearts bigger than most. I simply won't think those negative thoughts and plan to light a candle to burn every night in your honor. I'm honored to have blogged with you a couple of times before and sing your praises all the time.

Given the current state of OUR AMERICA, we need you now more than ever!

I wish only that you recover, if not only for the simple fact that your husband and children need you. I can't imagine how they will ever go on without you because you seem to be one of the most giving persons I have ever seen. It seems overly unfair that this happen to you and your family, when so many others who are so corrupt seem to get all the "passes!"

Hang in there, and keep strong. I'm so sorry this happened to such a "beautiful" person!

205. for elizabeth and her family

The Lord Is Thy Keeper
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
My help from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord thy keeper: the Lord thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth,
and even for evermore.
- Psalms 121: 1-8

Traditional Blessing and Healing Chant

Just as the soft rains fill the streams,
pour into the rivers, and join together in the oceans,
so may the power of every moment of your goodness
flow forth to awaken and heal all beings--
those here now, those gone before, those yet to come.
By the power of every moment of your goodness,
may your heart's wishes be soon fulfilled
as completely shining as the bright full moon,
as magically as by a wish-fulfilling gem.
By the power of every moment of your goodness,
may all dangers be averted and all disease be gone.
May no obstacle come across your way.
May you enjoy fulfillment and long life.
For all in whose heart dwells respect,
who follow the wisdom and compassion, of the Way,
may your life prosper in the four blessings
of old age, beauty, happiness and strength.

Prayer for a Sick sister
O Lord, holy Father, creator of the universe, author of its laws, you can bring the dead back to life, and heal those who are sick. We pray for our sick sister Elizabeth that she may feel your hand upon her, renewing her body and refreshing her soul. Show to her the affection in which you hold all your creatures.

P.S:
Be sure to take your coQ10 (coenzyme Q 10). It kills cancer cells, especially in breast cancer! Research it! In Europe, they prescribe it to women with breast cancer. Strangely, our drs. in this country never tell us anything about this vitamin that actually kills the cancer cells!

and that has nothing to do with your current battle - though that adds even more dimensions to the inspiration. My prayers are sent to you for your recovery. My thanks are sent to you because of the phenominal woman that you are and to the many women of all ages that you inspire. My mother and I both were captivated by a town hall meeting that you held a year or so ago (that was televised on CSpan) - all we could say was "WOW!" Your grasp on issues - your ability to convey passion and intelligence and 'understandibility' (per conveying complex issues in a way that is understandable) won us over.

Dear Elizabeth

Thank you for fighting the Republicans. I am so glad John is running - I hope John gets the nomination (if Al doesn't run). I love people who stand up to the Republicans, and Democratic candidates and their families do that more than anyone.

Respect,
Johan Helge

[Rhiannon12866]

250. Dear Elizabeth,

And I feel comfortable calling you this, since we're of an age, I wish you all the best with your care and for a speedy return to good health. I voted for your husband in 2004, admire your message and your work, and subscribe to your newsletter. You are doing wonderful work and I would vote for John again, tomorrow, but to continue this work, you must take care of yourself and get well. That must come first, and I know, because my Dad also had cancer and his work came first, which did not work out well for us, his family. So please take care of yourself and do everything that you can do to get well. We value you on DU and will always remember the John Edwards message, since it is timeless. Thank you and please think of yourself first. We need you and John, but you, and your beautiful family, must come first. I know.:hug:

[TygrBright]

272. Dear Mrs. Edwards,

My husband and I are partners, in every possible sense of the word. I think you have to experience that kind of partnership to be able to see it in others. You and Mr. Edwards have such a partnership. That two-halves-of-one-whole kind of partnership. Sometimes I feel guilty about being so lucky as to have such a partnership, in a world where there are so many lonely people and unhappily-mated people. I want to break off pieces of what I have, and put them in water to root, and give them away to everyone.

You and Mr. Edwards have come closest to realizing that dream for me. Being who you are, together on the harshly-lit stage of American political life, openly and unself-consciously, has given all who will look a chance to see what it looks like, when partnership is done right. We can't wave a wand and make such partnerships for others, but being able to see them is the first step to believing they can exist. Belief prompts aspiration, aspiration can prompt effort, effort can create achievement. You'll never know how many people have looked at your family and said, on some level "If that's possible, I can do it too." But causation is a funny thing, and who will deny the power of hope?

Hope, of course, is what will bring you and your family through the difficult months and years ahead. Mistakes and regrets are inevitable, too, but in the long run it is the mistakes we didn't make because we were afraid to take the risks that cause the most profound regrets-- a reality that you and Mr. Edwards appear to have taken to heart.

Like many on Democratic Underground, I was touched and pleased that you took the time to communicate directly and personally with this large group of strangers and well-wishers during a busy campaign. Like many on Democratic Underground, I find the vision that your partner articulates, and your family exemplifies, hopeful and compelling. I hope that the expressions of appreciation and support you can find here will be a comfort to you as you fight on.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

appreciatively,
Bright

[tom_paine]
