Liveblogged from NBC News:

She may have a fracture on the left side and may have something suspicious on her right side. Wednesday they went to the hospital. The cancer has returned and it is malignant.

She has had a battery of results. Her cancer is bad. It is confined in bone --he is saying it is a good thing.

When it goes into the bone it is no longer curable, it is only treatable. The tumor is small and that is why they are optimistic. John is saying that many patients go on to live for a long time. It is similar to what diabetes patients have to live with.

Elizabeth says the needed to talk to their family and the kids, The kids thought that it was cool for her to loose her hair the first time and are disappointed she may not go bald again.

She is saying that every cancer survivor goes through this. They know the ache on a side, that any symptom might be putting you into alarm mode. This is something that every survivor has to live with for the rest for their life. She doesn't forsee changing anything.

She is asymptomatic. Cracking the rib was a 'fluke'. Had she not cracked the rib, she would not have had the opportunity to catch the cancer.

The campaign goes on. "We are not choosing not to cower in a corner".

They are going forward. They are coming tonight to New York City to the DL21C event.

"I am immensly proud of this campaign ... Is this a hardship for us? ... There is nobody offering a more positive and delineated vision of where we can go on as a county. "

They are not stopping. They are going forward.

"This is the most extraordinarily unselfish woman I have ever known".

John Edwards has said that all Elizabeth was talking about while they were at the hospital, just the two of them, about the campaign, how he was doing and about what they were dealing with the issues around the country.

They have come forward to assuage people's fears; but to stress that this is a quality of life issue. This is about how they deal with a chronic condition. She has amazing health care that many americans do not have and that's what they stressed during the press conference. They feel going forward is absolutely important not just for Elizabeth, but for the many Americans who are struggling and have nowhere to go with their health problems due to lack of coverage.

I am absolutely in awe of these two.

No matter how mad I may be about the feminist blogger mess, I am still an Elizabeth Edwards fangirl. My heart and meditations go her, her family and her husband.

Hurrah for both of them.
