Laura Ingram Diagnosed With Breast Cancer

Laura Ingram's website reported on Monday, that the republican talk show host has been diagnosed with breast cancer and will undergo surgery sometime Tuesday. Although her views and mine couldn't be further in distance, as a cancer survivor in my first year of recovery from treatment I wish her the very best and offer my prayers in her fight. As a political aside, I would hope that this experience can be a learning one for her and she will think of the thousands without affordable health care coverage who aren't as fortunate to even be diagnosed let alone receive treatment. UPDATE: Her website is now reporting "Laura's breast cancer surgery yesterday "couldn't have gone better," in the words of her surgeon Dr. Katherine Alley. Initial sentinel node testing done during surgery showed no signs of cancer involvement in the lymph nodes, and we all hope that this good news is confirmed by more in-depth tissue testing done over the next 48 hours. "The outpouring of love and concern coast-to-coast in prayer, emails, telephone calls has left me feeling more blessed than I can possibly convey," said Laura Thursday morning from home. "I really don't know what I did to deserve such kindness but I will gladly wrap myself in it," she chuckled. "It's weird but getting cancer has made me feel more blessed than I ever felt before, and I will do everything I can to return the generosity 100-fold when I am feeling a bit better."
