She wasn't undergoing cancer treatments during the affair. The affair reportedly ended in 2006 and her latest cancer was diagnosed in March, 2007.

I don't see what difference it makes, personally. I'm with Benzgirl... I'm jaded and think this is more the norm than the exception, especially with men who are in powerful positions. It doesn't shock me with politicians, actors, televangelists, or professional athletes. I think I'd be more surprised to find out one of them did NOT cheat on his wife ever.

Maybe there's some truth to that... Reagan, Kennedy, Clinton.

Reagan? Why are you lumping him in the infidelity club?

Reagan was divorced in 1948, when it was pretty scandalous to get divorced. In some churches, being divorced and remarrying is adultery to the first wife if she is not dead. I don't put him in with the infidelity club, but then, I don't put him in the group of good presidents either (and I actually voted for him once).

Back to the original topic though... sounds now like Elizabeth Edwards found out about the affair just before she found out about her cancer recurrence and chose to stay with him because of the cancer. It's not the decision I would have made, personally, but <shrug> it's her life to live how she chooses.
