Ed Schultz' Wife Battling Ovarian Cancer

[BradBlog]

Source: BRAD BLOG

Our best to Ed Schultz whose wife, he has just announced, is now battling ovarian cancer.

In the past hour, I was a guest on his radio show which is being guest hosted this week by Mike Papantonio of Ring Of Fire. Afterwards, the MSNBC prime time TV and radio host called in to the show to make the teary announcement and offer an update on his wife Wendy, who, he says, is just out of surgery, and will soon be recovering at home...

6. As a man

I don't know much about Ovarian cancer. What is the likelihood of a full recovery?

Here's hoping for one...

10. Like all cancers, it depends

on the staging. They've come a long way with cancer in the last 20 years so I'm hoping they caught it early.

26. OC is one of the deadliest cancers -

- because it's very hard to get an early diagnosis, therefore most women are seen when they are in Stage 3 or 4. Treatment for this disease is extremely rough -- surgery and many rounds of chemo.

I certainly hope that Ed's wife's cancer was caught early so she will have a chance at full remission.

(I was diagnosed with OC 8 years ago and am still here, thanks to my wonderful docs).

43. It also depends on Grade

i.e an aggressive or non-aggressive tumor type. If it is caused by a defective BRCA2 or BRCA1 gene (5% of ovarian cancers are), they have a better longterm survival prognosis.

7. I am a twenty seven year survivor of Ovarian CA

Gods' Speed Wendy.. this can be beaten.. You and your family are in our prayers..

[Peregrine Took]

34. Write to Ed and Wendy and tell them that. It will give them hope. n/t

13. As Ed said during a later phone call to Mike Papantonio, Wendy stepped away from her work

as a psychiatric nurse to work on his shows with him.

Have heard Ed Schultz mention her name, her trips with him connected with his work for years. He has made a natural point of referring to Wendy Schultz as a beloved and vital part of his life.

Firm, constant best wishes to Wendy and Ed Schultz.

Congrats on your time on the Ed Schutz show with Mike Papantonio today, thanks for your thread.

She's much of what people love about her husband, truth be told.

I love the Ed show...he always has such a "fire in the belly".

I'm keeping you folks in my thoughts.

This is a difficult diagnosis, but I hope it was diagnosed early--the earlier the better.

22. Best wishes to Wendy and Ed's family members

This is of course why access to health care should be for all. This frightening health related issue is bound to recommit Ed to his already strong advocacy for national single payer plan.

42. I was driving home from chemo when I heard this on XM

I just started crying for her. I was wondering where Ed has been. Wendy, if you read this...my heart. You have such a good support system in your husband and family... and friends will rally for you too. xxox

45. I share Eds' wife's name....

and fears. I also turned my red hubby blue.
Wendy......hope you live a long life with Ed by your side.
Lost my grandmother and mother to OC. Both were gone within a month of diagnosis. I was able to get my Aunt, Sister. and I into Northwestern University's early detection Ovarian Cancer study. They were both ended up being diagnosed with early stage Uterine cancer, had Hysterectomies, treatment, and are still with me. The doctors decided to remove me from the study and convinced my insurance that I needed a preventative hysterectomy. It's all I could do.
You'd think I could live the rest of my life without feeling like a ticking time bomb but the kicker is my Mom had had a full hysterectomy and still died of OC. The doctors told us it was peritoneal cancer (tissue surrounding were the ovaries where). They tell me there is no real symptoms until it has spread to another organ.
Ovarian Cancer...
The only thing I can say for sure is .....know your family history and the subtle signs.....
Bloated feeling persists for more than a couple of weeks or continues to get worse, talk to your doctor. Also let your doctor know if you experience bloating in conjunction with feeling unusually full, a change to your bowel or bladder habits, or low back or pelvic pain. Those are often the early symptoms of ovarian cancer.
Constantly feeling full despite having eaten little.
It's not much but it's something.
Take care

[MADem]

46. I hope they caught it in time...I hope she recovers swiftly and easily. nt

[Mika]

47. Reminds me that so few Americans can take the time off as Ed can for Wendy.

My best wishes to the Schultz family.
