Update article on Elizabeth Edwards
I just came across this recent article about Elizabeth Edwards. Not sure if the reporter got all the medical details right, but it's an interesting piece anyway. If the link doesn't work, it's on page one of the July 21 issue of the online Wall Street Journal. I accessed it through the Huffington Post online.

AmyDun: That was a great, heart warming article. Thanks for posting it.
Nicki -
Great article. The lady has a lot of class, and a lot of heart. You don't have to agree with her views or choices but it's hard not to admire her guts and stamina.
-
Thank you for the article. She has such style and grace.
Claire -
I didn't like the way this was written.
EE sounded hopeful and optimistic but the author kept focusing on her death. -
Great article. She's a strong woman.
Shirley -
She is one strong woman! I hope her family one day realizes the strength it took to do what she did.
-
thank you so much for posting this - I had actually just looked last week for updates on her health and did not find anything on google. I am impressed by her courage and honesty - it is so hard to be in the public eye. Did anyone notice the article gave an incorrect description of the cause of her lymphedema.

Yep, but that's what the media's well know for. They probably wouldn't know how to spell it anyway.
Shirley -
I thought it an especially good article also
-
Excellent article overall. It does tend to dwell a bit too much on the dying aspect. Impressive lady.
-
Thanks for posting the article. I read EE's book a couple months ago, so it was nice to see this update. i know she is stage 4 and bone mets, but there were too many reference of death. What about hope? but good article otherwise.
-
I love EE. She's such a strong, courageous woman who's not afraid to speak her mind.
-
i also thought it was a good article but have they given her an idea of how much time she has left? i thought you could live with mets for quite some time. i dont know to much about mets and i dont want to do any kind of research on it unless i have to (and you know i am hoping i never need to know that info). i think she is one classy lady.
