Former Hewlett-Packard Co. CEO has good prognosis for recovery

Prayers for a full recovery Ms. Fiorina! Breast cancer often comes after ovarian. My mom is a 26 year survivor of a pretty serious case of ovarian, and a 5 year survivor of breast cancer.

We went shopping this weekend! :) she is now cancer free. Hang in there, you can do it!!!

Well, isn't this lovely? Everyone rushes to send words of hope to a random nameless pedestrian hit in a crosswalk, but no one but one has anything encouraging to say to Carly Fiornia. Why? Because she is a REPUBLICAN? Because she had something to do with your HP Stock options? Disgraceful. I hope she recovers soon and has a long and healthy life.

This has nothing to do with politics. It is sad for anyone who gets cancer and most of us know someone who has been affected by the disease and we all give our sympathy. But, since Carly has not done something which can cause comment, such as being hit by a car and we do not know the reasoning, there is very little reason to comment.

Regardless of someone's politics, we do not have to give sympathy. I think Robin Williams has all our sympathy for his heart problems too, but it isn't causing comment either.
