“The wife of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is facing criticism from some cancer patients and survivors for saying in a magazine interview that, rather than continue living with multiple sclerosis, she once wished she could ‘just have cancer and die.’ Ann Romney, who was diagnosed with the degenerative nerve disease in 1998, said in a recent interview with People magazine, ‘It wasn’t as though I was suicidal, but I was at the point where I thought, “Couldn’t I please just have cancer and die?”‘ The comment received an angry reaction from Leroy Sievers, a journalist who has been chronicling his own battle with cancer on National Public Radio.” (07/30/07)
