Déjà vu: Elizabeth Edwards' Cancer Returns


First diagnosed in the final weeks of her husbands 2004 campaign, Elizabeth Edwards' cancer has returned. John Edwards cancelled a house party in Iowa to fly back for a doctor's visit where he received the bad news.


The cancer is in the bone, and at a point where it is no longer curable, though it is still fully treatable.

Edwards insists that the campaign goes on. According to Larry Sabato from the University of Virginia's Center for Politics on WTOP Radio News, this is going to have an effect on the campaign nonetheless. It will be tiring personally, and will cause his campaign time in Iowa and New Hampshire, both extremely important for Edwards, to wane significantly.
