Christopher Reeve's widow has lung cancer


Dana Reeve, who spent nine years caring for her paralyzed husband, Christopher Reeve, until his death last year, announced Tuesday that she has lung cancer.

Reeve, 44, said she decided to disclose her illness following rumors about her health in the media.

"Now, more than ever, I feel Chris with me as I face this challenge," she said.

"As always, I look to him as the ultimate example of defying the odds with strength, courage and hope in the face of life's adversities."

We wish her well in her recovery, and hope she discovers quickly that broccoli is a Superfood (see August 5 entry, below).
