Chapel Hill, N.C. — Elizabeth Edwards, the political wife whose public battle with breast cancer, coping with marital infidelity and continued advocacy for the downtrodden raised her profile above that of her husband, died Tuesday. She was 61.
Edwards died at her Chapel Hill home, where family and friends had gathered in recent days after doctors informed her that her cancer had spread and recommended that she not undergo further treatment.
Edwards was first diagnosed with cancer in the waning days of the 2004 presidential campaign, when her husband, then-U.S. Sen. John Edwards, was the Democratic nominee for vice president. The couple didn't disclose her illness until after the election.
The cancer went into remission after surgery and months of treatment, but it resurfaced in early 2007, as John Edwards was mounting a second run at the White House. The Edwardses agreed at the time that they wouldn't allow the cancer to derail his candidacy.
Because the cancer had moved into her bones, her doctors said at that time that it was no longer curable but could be treated.

Elizabeth Edwards was apparently a nice lady who had the misfortune to be married to an ambitious, duplicitous jerk. She suffered from his sins as well as the cancer that has taken her. I hope her kids will be O.K. with only John as their parent.

How the mighty have fallen! This story is a tragedy of near-Shakespearean proportions. May her soul rest in peace. And may God protect and console her innocent children.

She certainly died fast after the bone cancer finding...I hope she didn't go the way of Jackie O.
Prayers for the whole family including her X.
