Update On Laura Ingraham - Good News! (But Please Keep Praying For Her)

From Laura's website:

LAURA UPDATE, DAY 4: Great news yesterday from the pathology report that was done on Laura's tumor and lymph nodes after her breast cancer surgery on Tuesday. Her lymph nodes were NEGATIVE, her HER-2 test was negative (a good thing), and her tumor was estrogen/hormone receptive (good thing). The tumor was 9 millimeters in diameter. The one bummer is that she needs to go back for another surgery next week because the dye they used showed some cancer cells remaining "outside the margin" of the tissue Dr. Katherine Alley excised during the first surgery. So, Dr. Alley will go back in and "clean the margins" a few more millimeters around the original tumor and that should be that. Laura is meeting soon with her oncologist Dr. Fred Smith to begin mapping out her post-op cancer treatment (radiation schedule, etc.). "Chemo could really cramp my style so I am hoping that is not necessary!" Laura laughed. "That could really mess up my highlights! Although, then again, it could save me money on salon waxing bills." "Botton-line," said Laura, "I am feeling better every day--your calls, emails, best wishes, and more than anything your prayers have made all the difference in keeping my spirits up. You remind me every day that I am too blessed and have too much to say and do to check out any time soon!"

Also this little tidbit:

ELIZABETH EDWARDS SUPPORTS LAURA...AND THE LEFTY BLOGGERS SCOFF: Michelle Malkin recently reported on Elizabeth Edwards, a breast cancer survivor herself, who has announced her support for Laura. Meanwhile, the liberal bloggers went nuts. Click here.

My Comments:
Great news about my fellow University of Virginia Law alum (Laura was 2 years ahead of me). Please continue to keep Laura in your prayers. She is an outstanding voice for conservatism on the airways - and, in case you didn't know it, another fairly recent Catholic convert.

And how 'bout 'dem compassionate liberals over at Democrat Underground (DU)? DU may be far-left loony, but it's mainstream enough to Democrats that Elizabeth Edwards, the wife of former Vice-Presidential candidate John Edwards, is a frequent commentator. Unfortunately, the hatefulness exhibited towards Laura (e.g., hoping she dies) is how many on the secular left feel about conservatives and people of faith.

UPDATE (5/2/05):
Laura is back on the air today (Monday, May 2) going strong. Welcome back, Laura!
