Ed Schultz' Wife Battling Ovarian Cancer

for a safe and speedy recovery

I miss seeing him nightly, he is one of my favs

Healing thoughts and well wishes going out.

(Btw: You rocked that interview sir....thank you for being one of few patriots leading the fight to inform America's electorate as to what is really going on out there.)

and prayers to Big Eddie and Wendy. He's been a staple in our family for years - both on the radio and MSNBC.

Ed needs you, we need you!

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

Here's hoping for one...

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

- 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).

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.

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

I fucking hate cancer.

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.

Hoping for a speedy and full recovery!

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

our best wishes

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.

My best wishes to you and your wife ED.

I just hope they handle this with strength and hope.

...strength and love to Ed and his wife.

Ed, you are an inspiration to me..

I sincerely wish you and your wife the best of health and hope she will be returning home soon.

We will look forward to his return when he feels the time is right.

Fight on, as you fought for us in WI. You both are in my thoughts and prayers.

Wendy, I know Ed will take good care of you. You are in excellent caring, loving hands.

May they both have a speedy recovery...........

Wendy be well soon.

Thanks for the thread Brad and for all you do.

Wishing your family the best during this difficult time.

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

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

My best wishes to the Schultz family.
