Yeah! Some good news -
CARRBORO, N.C.: Elizabeth Edwards said Wednesday her health is "no worse" than 18 months ago, when she and her husband made the sobering announcement that her cancer had returned in an incurable form.
The wife of two-time Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards said medical scans this week showed no signs that her condition has worsened. She was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004, but declared cancer-free after treatment. She said in March of last year that the cancer had returned and spread to her bone.
"Those who gave me a calendar in March of 2007 are going to have to revise their dates," Edwards said with a smile during a round-table discussion of health care in Carrboro, near her home.

Edwards returned to the public stage this month, weeks after her husband publicly admitted to an extramarital affair, and she plans to campaign against the health care policies of Republican presidential nominee John McCain until the election. Edwards supports mandatory universal health coverage while McCain supports free-market policies and a tax break to help drive down the cost of care.
"What I'm really glad about is that I still have a seat at the table to talk about health care — that I have the strength to do it and that I also have a seat at the table," Edwards said. She conducted several interviews after the event but declined to take questions from The Associated Press.

I hope she will continue to talk for a long time - her voice is so needed.
Three Cheers for Elizabeth! :toast:
