2. Ahhhh
My mom has lived with Stage Three Colon Cancer for eight years and she's eighty nine... The sad thing about Elizabeth Edwards is she has Stage Four Cancer which means it has spread to distal organs...

4. My Mom is living with stage 4 - spread to her hip bone - now for
two years and is doing fine. She is on the same treatment course that Elizabeth Edwards is on and so far it is working wonderfully. My mother will have to take the anti-hormone pills for the rest of her life to keep the cancer from spreading more. She also goes in once a month for an IV of Zometa to help keep her bones nice and strong. I don't know how long this treatment plan remains effective but she feels good and looks great today. Her arthritis is giving her much more of a problem than the cancer ever has. She is 78, funny as hell and hates Chucklenuts with a passion.

5. As You Grow Older Your Metabolism Slows So The Cancer Doesn't Spread As Quickly...
My mom didn't even have chemo...They just took out the tumor and sewed up the colon...Her doctor marvels at it...He says the chemo probably would have killed her...She will be ninety in Frebruary, God Bless her...

She hates Giuliani with a passion...She loves Hillary... I literally have to change the station when Hillary gets bashed because she gets visibly upset....

3. Who wouldn't be tired at the pace they have been campaigning?
In recent interviews that I have seen, she said she feels well. Let's just keep thinking positive.... she needs our good vibes.
