John Edwards Cut from Elizabeth's Will
In the will signed on Dec. 1, six days before she died, Elizabeth Edwards left her estate to her three children, naming eldest daughter Cate, a lawyer, executor of the will.
"All of my furniture, furnishings, household goods, jewelry, china, silverware and personal effects and any automobiles owned by me at the time of my death, I give and bequeath to my children,” the will stated.

Elizabeth Edwards died in her North Carolina home on Dec. 7 home after a six-year battle with breast cancer.
Hollywood actress Christina Applegate welcomes baby daughter
The 39-year-old star of "Samantha Who?" and her fiance, Dutch bass player Martyn Lenoble, 41, managed to keep the news that they had become parents under wraps for five days, People.com reported.
"Actress Christina Applegate and fiance, musician Martyn LeNoble, welcomed daughter Sadie Grace LeNoble on Thursday, Jan. 27, 2011, in Los Angeles," Applegate's spokesperson said in a statement.
"Mother and daughter are doing great," the rep added.
"She's a beautiful little girl, and they are so happy and in love with her," a source close to the couple told the website.
Applegate was diagnosed two years ago with breast cancer and was public about her decision to have a double mastectomy to prevent the return of the disease.
The actress told the website last year about what kind of parent she anticipates being, "I'll probably be a little bit hippie and a little bit Type A," she said.
"I'll take from what my mother did, which was way hippie and like, 'Do what you wanna do,' and bring some things that I know from watching my friends raise their kids," she added.

Early breast cancer diagnosis may avoid surgery
The study involving nearly 900 women across the country, found who patients who had their lymph nodes removed did not have a higher survival rate than those who did not.
When the cancer has spread to any lymph nodes, doctors usually recommend that nodes in the armpit be removed surgically, to reduce the risk of a recurrence.
However, such removal is painful, and can lead to other complications
Progress in creating immune system against cancer
Many doctors and researchers are trying to treat without using therapies such as radio and chemotherapy that weakened the patient. But even new treatments such as the so-called "magic bullet" aimed directly at specific cancer cells have serious side effects.
In its clinical trials, scientists at the John Hopkins injected animals with a cancerous tumor with bacteria that reproduce rapidly within centres solid tumors that lack of oxygen and die in healthy tissues and oxygenated. The researchers were able to destroy bacteria tumors from the inside out, leaving an outer ring of breast cancer cells readily treatable with conventional treatments.
But in addition to accomplish this, the researchers found that in many cases, the bacterial infection "trained" to the animal's immune system to recognize and attack cancer. In 23 of the 70 animals used, the very responsiveness of her immune system destroyed the remnants of the tumor, without need to resort to another type of therapy. Even when the animals were injected with new cancer cells of the same type of cancer, his immune system was able to identify, attack and destruction, this time without receiving injections of new bacteria.
The scientists then experimented with mice and rats, noting the same kind of result could therefore be treated in future apply to humans.
