E. Edwards: 'a great love story'


Elizabeth Edwards told a Washington television station that she is focused on living and that her marriage to John Edwards is for life.

Edwards told WJLA-TV that she does not want to give her cancer any more days than it has already taken.

"I hope it's not true but that's the likelihood. Cancer will probably win. Why would I give it anymore days than it may already take? That's the choice I make," she said.

Edwards declined to say much about her husband's affair with a former campaign worker.

She says only that her husband has been supportive and that they are still writing their story.

Said Edwards, "John said, 'Perhaps not the great love story that we hoped, but maybe a great love story nonetheless.' [It's] 'till death do you part -- because that's what I want."
