Just one day after her public announcement to cease her cancer treatments, Elizabeth Edwards passed away peacefully at the family Chapel Hill, North Carolina surrounded by loved ones on Tuesday, December 7, 2010. In the statement released yesterday, it was reported that doctors thought she may have only weeks to live, but she was clearly ready to move on much sooner than that. May she rest in peace.
Elizabeth Edwards was first diagnosed with breast cancer the fall of 2004, and it spread to to the rest of her body, metastasizing to her bones, despite several courses of treatments in the last six years.
Today, rather than remember the survivors of breast cancer, let’s wear our pink ribbon awareness bracelets & other pink products in honor of those like Elizabeth Edwards, who bravely battled breast cancer, but ultimately succumbed to the disease.
