The family issued a statement Monday that said doctors have told her that further treatment for her cancer would be unproductive, and the family friend further described Edwards' condition to The Associated Press.

When I read this, I felt terrible. It is really a shame and I wish her peace at last.
The second thought was john edwards should burn in hell for eternity.

I’m a cancer survivor, at least for today. I wish her the very best. If this is the end, I hope that she goes with dignity.

Prayers for Elizabeth and those who love her. If a miracle is not to be had, may she have a comfortable and easy passing, and may her family and friends find the strength they need to make it through this very difficult time.

“I have been sustained throughout my life by three saving graces – my family, my friends and a faith in the power of resilience and hope,” Edwards wrote in a message posted Monday on her Facebook page. “These graces have carried me through difficult times, and they have brought more joy to the good times than I ever could have imagined. The days of our lives, for all of us, are numbered. We know that.”

Elizabeth, may God Almighty, the giver of all good gifts and graces, hold you in the hollow of His hand.

Prayers up for this mother and her children. Cancer is still yet to be tamed in our time. Prayers that our medical system survives long enough to find a cure and a way to extend lives.

Cancer is a terrible disease. Prayers going up for her and the family. My husband died of liver cancer, and 3 close cousins died from it in a 10 months period of time and 2 more have it.

No person, no matter the political persuasion, should have such an illness wished upon them. I pray that the Lord would make Himself known to her and provide either a miracle of healing or a peaceful passing...not to mention her salvation.
