Edwards says campaign still on
Wife diagnosed with cancer second time
by Mike Baker, The Associated Press

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - John Edwards said Thursday his wife's cancer has returned, but said he will continue his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. "The campaign goes on. The campaign goes on strongly," Edwards told reporters, his wife by his side. The recurrence of the cancer - this time on Elizabeth Edwards' bone - presents a setback for the couple, both personally and politically. But both said they would stick with their plans to campaign vigorously for the nomination. "From our perspective, there was no reason to stop," Edwards said. Edwards had canceled a Tuesday evening house party in Iowa to go with his wife to a doctor's appointment, which his campaign described as a follow-up to a routine test che had Monday. Faced with questions about how his wife's illness affected his political future, Edwards said he will pursue his second bid for the presidency, but: "Any time, any place I need to be with Elizabeth I will be there - period."
Elizabeth Edwards, 57, was first diagnosed with cancer in the final weeks of the 2004 campaign. The day after Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry and Edwards, his running mate, conceded the election to George W. Bush, Edwards announced that his wife had invasive ductal cancer, the most common type of breast cancer, and would undergo treatment.
Elizabeth Edwards underwent several months of radiation and chemotherapy for the lump in her breast. Her husband's campaign has said she had recovered from the illness. John Edwards said a biopsy of her rib had showed that the cancer had returned. The bone is one of the most common places where breast cancer spreads, and once it does so it is not considered curable. But how long women survive depends on how widespread the cancer is in the bone, and many can survive for years. The longer it takes for cancer to spread after the initial tumor, the better the prognosis. She was diagnosed in 2004.

Uhm... Il ritiro di John Edwards avrebbe costituito di sicuro una svolta per le primarie. Ma c'è davvero la possibilità che si ritiri, se la moglie peggiora? A quanto ho capito, è già successo...

si pare di sì... ma stavolta la malattia pare meno grave e il fatto di conoscere tutta la routine sembra darle molta forza.
