The Edge's Daughter Beats Leukemia

"You're in shock then you just go into survival mode," Edge's wife Morleigh Steinberg told WENN. "The whole thing is hell but at the same time you stay positive and you really live."
Sian was only 8 when she was first diagnosed with leukemia in early 2006. But after four-plus years of treatment in Los Angeles and Dublin, where the guitarist has area homes, she has apparently made a full recovery. That year, the illness prompted the Irish rock giants to bump the final leg of its Vertigo Tour, which included dates in New Zealand, Australia, Japan and Hawaii, back by several months.
"You live more because you don't want to take anything for granted," Steinberg continued. "She's through it and she's fine."

Once again someone is declared cancer free, when in reality it's like saying someone is accident free.
Cancer sometimes goes in remission, like Al Quada.

Wonderful news!!
At the same time, please BEWARE of the FLUOROQUINOLONE "antibiotics" that are extremely toxic, destroying DNA and healthy cells. POISON being prescribed as "antibiotics"!! The severe and often permanent damages may not even become apparent until months to years after the drug has long been stopped, even as little as ONE pill. Read Stephen Fried's account (regarding ONE PILL of FLOXIN/Ofloxacin prescribed to his wife). He is a Mademoiselle Mag writer and author of GIA (Cosmo model of the 80's).
Go to FQRESEARCH.ORG and FQVICTIMS.ORG and FRIEND "Fluoroquinolne Antibiotic Toxicity" on FB. WIKI, YouTube, FB, personal blogs all relating to "Fluoroquinolone Toxicity", and the "Deadly 3, Cipro(Ciprofloxacin), Levaquin(Levofloxacin), Avelox(Moxifloxacin)".... as well as other of this class, Vigamox(Moxifloxacin in eyedrop form), even BAYTRIL(Enrofloxacin) for PETS!! PLEASE become AWARE, put "NO FLUOROQUINOLONES" on your medical records and your CHILDRENS and PETS records!! In trials, the FLUOROQUINOLONES CAUSED ARTHROPATHY in JUVENILE RATS and CARTILAGE DAMAGE in Beagle puppies (who had to be destroyed). The FLUOROQUINOLONES have recently been APPROVED for use in CHILDREN!! They are Black-Boxed for TENDON RUPTURE.... but are known to cause a laundry list of damage and injury, including dx of FIBROMYALGIA, ARTGHRALGIAS, MYALGIAS, TENDON/JOINT/CARTILAGE/MUSCLE-DAMAGE, ORGAN DAMAGE, CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DAMAGE and more!!

I wish the best for them!! Please keep going in for check ups. I had a friend who was cancer free and YEARS later came back and unfortunately he did not survive the second time around.
