I’m still wondering if Liz really has terminal cancer, or if that was just a campaign ploy to drum up sympathy for the candidacy. She looks just the same now as she did 3 years ago.
I've been wondering the same thing myself, even when she first announced it, I thought the timing was suspicious.
Normally you would think this was impossible. But with these folks... who knows? Time will tell.

I found this and posted it yesterday when another poster wondered the same thing.
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.”
