Breaking News: Elizabeth Edwards passed away at age of 61 today

Oh, guys, I'm very saddened by her death. I was so moved that she was brave woman to battling with her cancer. It was her time to go and be with God. May she rest in peace. I'm very moved by my tears...

I still can't believe that she passed away at age of 61 today. My prayer and thoughts goes out with Edwards Family. Blimey..she's so brave woman...brave woman, indeed! She's no longer with us....:smt010

 

Well that bastard can go to his mistress now. If an atheist wanted to point to proof that there isn't a god, this would be one of them. The good dies and the bad keeps on ticking.

 

Very sad.

 

Yes,I heard about it 45 minutes ago. I did not know she would die quickly. I thought it would be a few days.

 

A,that is indeed true of good people dying young and bad people keep on living.

 

quick? this was at least 4 years.

 

Google her facebook post that she stopped treatment and announced her cancer had spread. It was yesterday or day before. That is what he is referencing angel.

 

I think people have a false image of what treatment is. She has had cancer for 4 years at least. The doctors said since april 2007 that it wasn't curable meaning she was going to die. It was treatable. This simply means you are going to die from it but we will Manage your pain. Look on all hospitals. There is always a sign that says we will manage your pain or something to that. It never says cure it. sadly:smt012

 

She wasn't in the manage pain stage til this past week. She was actively treated for it.

(CNN) - Elizabeth Edwards is surrounded by family and friends in her North Carolina home after being informed by her doctors that further cancer treatment would be unproductive.
"Elizabeth has been advised by her doctors that further treatment of her cancer would be unproductive," the Edwards family said Monday in a statement. "She is resting at home with family and friends and has posted this message to friends on her Facebook page."

The message from Edwards, the wife of two-time presidential candidate John Edwards, reads:
"You all know that I have been sustained throughout my life by three saving graces – my family, my friends, and a faith in the power of resilience and hope. These graces have carried me through difficult times and they have brought more joy to the good times than I ever could have imagined. The days of our lives, for all of us, are numbered. We know that. And, yes, there are certainly times when we aren't able to muster as much strength and patience as we would like. It's called being human.
"But I have found that in the simple act of living with hope, and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world, the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious. And for that I am grateful. It isn't possible to put into words the love and gratitude I feel to everyone who has and continues to support and inspire me every day. To you I simply say: you know."
Edwards was told by her doctors last week that additional cancer treatments were futile, said a source close to the family. Her prognosis was described in terms of weeks, not months, the source said.
She is receiving treatment and medications, however, for symptoms and side effects.
"She is not in pain, Elizabeth is in good spirits," said the source. "She has prepared for this"
John Edwards and their children are at her side, along with Elizabeth's brother and sister.

I know what she had was not curable. She didn't all of a sudden up and die. It took 3 years before it got to her. There was nothing she could do. They just did all that they could do to slow it down. It really depends on if you were paying attention to her or not that it would look all of a sudden. It is a nasty progression.

 

Yup.

Worked in a hospital which was a top rated cancer treatment center. Dr's are not God. A lot of people who are told they are going to die just up and live. I bet if you were told you had incurable cancer you wouldn't give up and go on pain meds. You would do what most do and that is seek out aggressive treatment, hoping against the odds or at least hope for more time. I imagine you would seek chemo or radiation until the very last ounce of hope and medical science had been exhausted.

 

Elizabeth Edwards....

May you rest in peace and my heart goes out to everyone in the Edwards family for this unfortunate loss.

 

I am really sorry to hear that she is dead. I liked her.

 

RIP to a nice, classy woman.

Really classy of her dbag husband to have an affair while she was dying of cancer. What a cocksucker that guy is. I always knew he came across as fake but that is just so low.
