So very sorry to hear this.All the best to Wendy [hugs]--and Ed you ROCK!!

Hope Mrs. Shultz tries alternatives and beats cancer. Essiac has been known to cure terminal cancer. Good friend had a brain tumor which was changing behavior and sticking out like a marble on the back of her head. Used poultices applied to the area consisting of olive oil and turmeric . Shrank 80%. Google turmeric on Dr. Mercola's website..it actually changes the DNA of cancerous cells.

Knockout by Suzanne Summers has some awesome alternatives too.

Best of luck Big Ed

I am so sorry to hear that Wendy is forced to take this journey. My aunt passed away from ovarian cancer a little over 25 years ago when I was a teenager. My cousin was diagnosed 5 years ago. What a difference 20 years make! My cousins surgery and chemo was successful and she has since been certified as a nutritionist who dedicates herself to helping cancer survivors lead healthy lives, thereby extending their lives. She has had 5 years of cancer free follow-ups and I see that trend continuing for many decades to come.

I figured something was terribly wrong when Ed took so much time off and as much as his listeners and viewers love and need his voice, there is someone who needs him even more and I hope they both know that we all are keeping both of them in our thoughts. I hope she will be telling her success story 5 years from now. My cousins success shows that this journey, while definitely a hard one, can result in footnote in time down the road. Big hugs to her and Ed!

we love you Ed and Wendy.

To Ed and Wendy

We love you both. I am a Canadian listener and you have many fans up here who are praying for you as well. Best Wishes.

Gutted to hear this.

Ed and family, I don't believe in that sky fairy but my good thoughts and karma are being radiated out in your direction. Peace.

I actually can't stand Ed as his political views are just so wacky BUT I sympathize with him right now and will say prayers that his wife recovers completely.

Our prayers are with you and Wendy..

Ed,
I love you for being the kind of person you are - and I love Wendy, too - she must be lovely since she's your wife.

I so hope she does well!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kindest regards,
Larry M.D.

Heard you with Pap this morning. Brilliant as always. Did not stay with it long enough to hear this sad news. Get well, Wendy, and hang in there Big Eddie.

Big Eddie, I was saddened to learn that Wendy is fighting ovarian cancer. I heard the phone call this morning, Ed, and my heart and my prayers go out to both you and Wendy. There is a wonderful book I would recommend for both of you to read - Doctor's Orders, Go Fishing by Dean Shrock, PhD. It's a wonderful, uplifting and spirtural book for cancer patients. Dean has worked in many cancer care facilities. You can find this easily on Amazon.com. Blessings to both of you.

Ed,
We are huge fans and our hearts and prayers go out to you and Wendy!
We miss you on the radio and tv but you are EXACTLY where you should be right now! You have lots of friends who will help you through this very difficult time!
Take care of Wendy and yourself!!!

With some good luck and the right treatment Wendy can beat her ovarian cancer. Wendy and her relatives must learn about Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome. Testing may help guide Wendy's treatment and possibly save other women in her family too.
"Learn about HBOC it may just save your life"

My prayers are with you and your family. She can and will beat this beast! HUGS!!

Hi Ed. We listen to your show all the time both radio and the Ed Show. Our prayers are with you and Wendy. We are praying for Wendy's total healing. Be blessed

We love Wendy and Ed. Prayers and thoughts to them and their family. Let us all resolve with even more determination and strength to support Progressive talk radio and TV, to re-elect President Obama and to fight for passage of Progressive legislation that helps all the people.

you and wendy will be in my prayers every nite.you are missed.

Praying for you.

I am thinking of you and your wife - sending you thoughts of good health and picturing your wife whole and healthy!

Ed, My husband and I are wishing your wife a speedy recovery and please know that you and your family are in your prayers. We are african americans and watch your show every night or DVR the show, We thank you for BEING A WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING. The only reason I stated our race so YOU know that we love you and appreciate you for taking a stand when NO ONE ELSE WOULD. GOD BLESS YOU AND WENDY--MUCH RESPECT

Best wishes to your wife, and to you as you stand by her in this battle.

Dear Ed,
You're almost a part of the family here from all the time you spend with us on the radio and MSNBC TV. We wish all good outcomes during this challenge that faces Wendy and your entire family. We hope you are given the strength to fight this fight. Hang in there and see you when you get back to all the seemingly less important issues you fight for every day.

So sorry to hear this news. I just want Ed and Wendy to know that I just went through this with my close friend. She is now on the uphill climb post chemo treatment, is doing well and is very encouraged by all the results and the prognosis. Please know that there are so many people praying for Wendy and Ed. We will miss you but every day you are gone will remind us all to pray even more for Wendy's complete recovery.

Ed, sorry to hear about your wifes illness wishing you and Wendy the very best. We will keep both of you in our prayers.

Wendy we're thinking of you and Ed. Prayers and good thoughts to you both.

You and Wendy are quite a team. I'll be rooting for the both of you. God beless you both.

[Ed Note: Comment removed. Normally we don't delete comments unless they violate one of our few rules for commenting at The BRAD BLOG. This one doesnt. It's just violates our sense of decency. So I'm exercising blog owner's prerogative and removing it. Knock it off, dude. And get lost. - BF]

I hope someone is monitoring this site. The idiot who wrote the comment#28 needs to be deleted. I don't think he's human.

We wish you both the best outcome and love your fight for the common man Don't give up this fight against a terrible foe.

Your family is in my prayers. I miss you on the tv, God bless you both..We love you!

I am a 2.5 year stage 4 ovarian cancer survivor - not an easy road but you can do this! Prayers and best wishes to you and your family. I am planning on climbing mountains this spring with my kids after I rebuild from my chemotherapy. Mary

As an oncology nurse, I can so empathize with your ordeal, Ed.
I feel so sad for this misfortune that has happened to your beautiful wife and your family.
I know what a long road you have ahead of you.
We will miss you but Wendy needs you now by your
side.
Hope and love to both of you.

Take care of business Ed. We'll be there waiting for you when your wife recovers from her cancer treatments. She needs you now, more than ever. I'm going thru chemo now for BC and there are a lot of scarey times ahead. Since you live not as far from Chicago as I do, I urge you to atleast look into the Block Treatment Center. He uses chemo in unconventional ways...e.g. administering chemo when it is most effective using circadian rhythms. A woman with ovarian CA in my town (and who has the money to fly there very frequently) is doing well, years later, seeing Dr. Block. He also puts a heavy emphasis on nutrition. He combines conventional with the alternative. Look for his book too.

P.S.(an addendum to #33). Please tell the REAL scumbag #28, that as an oncology nurse, he can go soak his head in FOX news and then go straight to hell.
Please remove this A-hole fom this blog. He so represents the hate generated on the right.

Dear Ed and Wendy,
My husband and I are praying for God's complete healing of Wendy's body. We pray God will grant you strength and courage to endure the challenges that you will face. You must believe God through faith for Wendy's healing. Stay positive and read these healing scriptures; Psalms 30:2, Isaiah 58:8, I Peter 2:24. And lastly, my husband and I are dedicated viewers of the Ed Show. We miss not seeing you but now we know where you are and we support you and Wendy. Your show is in good hand with Michael Dyson but we still want to see you back on the air too. You and Wenday take good care and be Healed and Blessed in Jesus Name.

I say leave #28 up. No better way for an asshole to let you know just who they are and who they support than their free exercise of speech. And if Ed and Wendy happen to read these comments (though they have much bigger fish to fry) they'll read the good along with the bad and know they are, and continue to, fight for the good.

Ed and Wendy you both are in my prayer and send a special prayer into the heart of our Healer for Wendy. Stay positive and believe for whatever come out of the mouth has the power of life and death speak life and health and a happy long life together. Much Love and Peace

Sending love, light and healing to your wife and to you Ed!!!!!

My thoughts and good wishes are with you Ed.

Like Mona I do not believe in some mythical sun god and cant fathom how anyone could when we see such pain and suffering in this world.

My daughter-in-law successfully came through the same surgery. You and Wendy hang in and I am praying for you.

I work for the Ovarian Cancer Alliance of Florida and work with and have met 14-17 year survivors! Sending Wendy, you and your family positive thoughts and 1,000 prayers.

So sorry to hear about Wendy. There is amazing technology available to battle this disease, I hope that Wendy makes a full and fast recovery. Lots of love to Wendy, Ed and their family and support system. Keep up the fight!

Much, much progress made over past 20 years and less on ovarian cancer, so much can be done. It is difficult, but, it can be done. It can be effectively treated and this is what we will pray for, work toward, and believe in.

Do the work, Ed. We have your back.

Didn't see comment #28 but know it must have been extraordinarily offensive for Brad to have deleted it.

We'd like to thank those whose empathy and humanity produced words of sympathy and encouragement to Ed and Wendy --- sentiments that we, of course, share and extend to both.

When faced with a personal crisis of this magnitude, the course of treatment and recovery can seem overwhelming. It can be manageable only if Ed and Wendy take up the fight one day and one treatment session at a time.

Our hopes for a speedy recovery are with you, Ed and Wendy.

Ernest & Margaret Canning

Dear Ed and Wendy, So sorry to hear of the difficult news. We will be praying for you both. Ed , we never miss your show and love and appreciate all you endeavor to accomplish. I am somewhat prejudiced having taught for 40 years in Indiana and retired in 2000. My wife was a social worker. May God's richest blessings be for the two of you. Bob and Behi

I know Wendy will pull through, she's got you as her support. We love ya Ed!

My husband & I are so sorry to hear about Wendy. Be sure to know all options. Being in health related business, I have referred cancer patients to Dr. Block for many yrs. We send love & healing.

Wendy and Ed, I'm Hoping and wishing for the very Best outcome. Thank You so much for the tears joy
listening and watching and always knowing Wendy was the inspiration behind the scenes

Dear Ed,

I'm praying that your wife Wendy will win this battle. My thoughts are with you and your family at this really tough time. God bless you all.

Hi Ed & Wendy -

All my best to you as I know what you're experiencing. I'm 55 and a six year ovarian cancer survivor, and though it took a while to get back on my feet, so far so good! Writing through the experience helped, as did allowing myself stay on the couch to do nothing. It just takes time to heal, but you'll get there. Best alohas to you!

Dear Ed,
I just want to wish you and Wendy all the best. I don't know Wendy but from the way you have described her she is certainly a lovely person. I am a faithful listener to both of your shows and look forward to Wendy's recovery and your return.
Again, my good wishes and thoughts are with you both.
Sincerely,
Bob Johnson

Dear Ed,

We are thinking about you and your wife and hoping that things are going well and any treatment plans are going well. We miss you on the show, but Mike is doing a good job filling in for you. You are right where you belong, with your wife! Take care of her . . . And yourself!

Two of your biggest fans in Minnesota,
Pat and Diane Whalen

Just want to say that my husband and I love you, Ed. We miss you so much, and were wondering where you were. Did not want to hear this kind of news. We know your beautiful wife will beat this dreaded disease, and we are praying for her and for you, too...Ed.

Just want to let you know we are praying for you. I admire your wife and you for being so strong. You will do well....we need you both. Thank you for all you do. God Bless both of you

I was wondering where you were and worried because you helped me make sense of American Politics.. Your involvement was crucial at overcoming the lies in the last election and our young president needs your voice again but I am glad you made the right choice.
I was devastated to learn of your predicament and what your wife is going through.
It took a lot of courage, commitment and love .. back to our basic vows of marriage. I respect you Ed and am happy that your wife has a husband who truly knows his priorities.
My prayers are with you. I pray for a miraculous healing and that you will stay strong through this. God Bless You and your family.
Fred.

I'am sending love and prayers,I had ovarian cancer ten years ago and I'am still here. Was Diagnosed breast cancer had a double mastectomy and just got the news no chemo all clear. You be stong and fight! Thing of you two!

Congrats, Sheri! Glad you're still here!

I am so sorry to hear about Wendy's cancer. I wish you both well and keep strong. I had a cousin who went through all the treatments but it may not have been caught in time. Hopefully Wendy's is not that advanced. I praise you for being such a wonderful, caring husband. She is so lucky to have you.

I am a fan of your show and really enjoy listening to you each day. I have no cable so the radio is my connection.

Best wishes to you both.

Ed-I'm so sorry to hear about your wife's cancer. I know that it's a diagnosis that rocks you to your core. I've always admired the way that you stand up for the common person...we desperately need your voice. I'm hopeful that you and your wife will get good karma back at you. Hang tough--from one of the few liberals in Texas!

My thoughts and prayers are with Ed's wife in her battle and hope she does well.
My complaint is I wonder how he would have felt if an anchor had said "I wish they would take out her ovaries, kicked them around like a football, put them back in and hope that she went to the beyond." That's what he said about Cheney's heart transplant.
