John's statement was that he began the affair in 2006 while his wife's cancer was in remission. Her statement says her forgiveness was easier after her diagnosis. Did she have cancer before 2007? I was under the impression they just found out about the cancer while campaigning in 2007.
The 2007 cancer was a relapse. Mrs. Edwards had her first bout with breat cancer in 2004, diagnosed right after the 2004 elections.
