You may or may not remember that I worked on Edwards' campaign, and I feel "personally" hurt and betrayed. How could John and Elizabeth think that this would not get out? What if he had won the party's nomination? What a horror that would have become. It's huge news now and he's not even running for anything. It's very disheartening.
Another thing that I, as a breast cancer survivor, have heard repeatedly from my oncologists is stress and worry are very, very bad and they think a link to recurrences. I find it significant that Elizabeth found out about this in 2006 and had a recurrence in 2007.
Nevertheless, I am also disappointed with her for not demanding that John NOT run as a candidate for his party's nomination with this kind of "secret" hanging over his head.
What kind of astounding ego issues were at play.
