The announcement made by 2008 Presidential Candidate John Edwards that his wife’s cancer has returned is troubling. Yes it is horrible for Mrs. Edwards to have, but it also shows that even when people think that they beat cancer, it can come back.
Mrs. Edwards first had breast cancer but thought she was given a clean bill of health in 2006. However, it was revealed today that she now has metastasis and the cancer has spread to her bone and maybe a spot on her lung.
Even though I would never wish this on anyone, it is good to point out to people the dangers of cancer and other diseases have on people. We all thought this woman was cured and had nothing else wrong with her. Well sadly, she does and now it looks like her disease is not unable to be cured.
She is very lucky to be able to afford the treatment that will be required to fight this disease, but not everyone has that kind of funds. What should be remembered is to keep exercising, eating healthy and getting the recommended check ups. To Mrs. Edwards, good luck and I hope you get better.
