Mrs. Edwards said that about a week ago she was moving a chest of drawers in their house and felt pain in her left side. Later, when John Edwards returned home from campaigning and gave her a hug, they heard a pop as her rib fractured.
Mrs. Edwards went to see a doctor Monday about the fracture. X-rays indicated a suspicious shadow on the other side of her chest, and on Wednesday she went in for a followup. That's when doctors revealed that there had been a recurrence of cancer.
Mrs. Edwards said that the injury was a blessing in disguise because it revealed the cancer.
“I’m very lucky that I cracked this rib,” Mrs. Edwards said. “I bless it.”
