Elizabeth Edwards' Docs Halt Treatment, Give Weeks to Live

Elizabeth Edwards' cancer has spread to her liver, leading doctors to advise her that further treatment would be "unproductive," and give her a prognosis of weeks, or perhaps days, to live. "She is resting at home with family and friends," the Edwards family said in a statement to People. Edwards, who was hospitalized last week after feeling ill over Thanksgiving, posted an apparent goodbye on her personal Facebook page, notes CBS:

"I have been sustained throughout my life by three saving graces—my family, my friends, and a faith in the power of resilience and hope," she wrote. "These graces have carried me through difficult times and they have brought more joy to the good times than I ever could have imagined. The days of our lives, for all of us, are numbered. We know that." (More Elizabeth Edwards stories.)
