CNN reports CHAPEL HILL, North Carolina (CNN) -- Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards said Thursday his wife's cancer had returned but his bid for the White House will go on.
John Edwards said tests this week had shown his wife, Elizabeth, had cancer in a rib on her right side. He said the cancer is treatable but not curable.
Elizabeth Edwards said she was "incredibly optimistic" and said her expectations about the future were unchanged.
She said she felt fortunate that she felt pain from a cracked rib and got X-rays for that which revealed the cancer.
