Well, that's what she says.
Seems to me, she has been claiming "terminal cancer" for 7 or 8 years now, but she still looks & acts pretty healthy.
She initiated the divorce proceedings and they have to be separated for at least a year to get a divorce. Seems like she is planning on living at least another year...

Indeed.
But let’s give her the benefit of the doubt and assume that she has really good doctors.
Really, really good.

Edwards: Cancer ‘no longer curable’
POSTED: 10:32 p.m. EDT, March 22, 2007
Excerpt from the article linked below-
“On Thursday, her doctor, Lisa Carey of the University of North Carolina Medical Center, described Edwards’ condition as Stage IV metastatic breast cancer, meaning the cancer has spread beyond her breast and lymph nodes. In addition to the spot on her rib, there may be other areas of cancer, the doctor said. She specifically mentioned “very small” abnormalities in the lung that are “too small to say what’s going on there.” (Metastatic breast cancer Q&A )
The doctor said Elizabeth Edwards’ treatment hadn’t been determined, pending more test results. It could include hormone therapy or chemotherapy. Stage IV breast cancer is considered a systemic disease, meaning it is no longer contained in one area but is throughout the body. Surgery isn’t usually considered effective because it will remove cancer cells only from one area, but the cancer is more likely located in other places.
Reliable survival rates for breast cancer that has spread aren’t available. Five years after a first diagnosis of breast cancer, 88 percent of women are still alive.”
