Kelly, I can relate to all you have beautifully stated. We have to remain positive as we all know what a difference it can make. I truly bellieve we have to keep our spirits as high as we can and be as pro-active as we can. It sounds to me like Elizabeth Edwards might have not been very pro active when it came to breast health in her years prior to diagnosis. Every case has it's differences so we can't compare. I know people who were originally diagnosed Stage 1 and aren't here anymore and I know people who were staged at 3 and 4 and are doing fantastic. We just have to keep fighting with all that we have. I too was very saddened to hear the news about Elizabeth Edwards but I am always saddened to hear any news at all about anyone with breast cancer. This is a normal reaction but we have to keep things in perspective and we can't let it get the best of us.
