Edwards Will Continue Campaign
Despite the recurrence of his wife's breast cancer. Elizabeth Edwards has been diagnosed with breast cancer that has spread to one of her ribs. The AP story notes that once that happens, the cancer is no longer considered curable. I am sorry to hear that.
"The campaign goes on. The campaign goes on strongly," Edwards told reporters, his wife by his side.
John 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 she had Monday.
The campaign refused to comment on Elizabeth Edwards' health Wednesday, fueling speculation about a recurrence of the cancer and raising questions about the political future of the 2004 vice presidential nominee.
Edwards put those questions to rest although he said: "Any time, any place I need to be with Elizabeth I will be there — period."
It is their decision. It is not one I personally would have made, but I'm not trying to judge Edwards, either.

“It is their decision. It is not one I personally would have made, but I’m not trying to judge Edwards, either.’
Good to see some decency across the political divide, though for this website decency is just normal behavior.
Not the decision I would have made either, but, as you say, it’s their decision. And I don’t doubt it is their decision, not just his.
My wife, who has had cancer, tells me the prognosis is probably very grim.
