The 59-year-old Edwards, battling terminal breast cancer, declined to say if she had forgiven her wayward spouse: "I don''t want to feed the monster, if you don''t mind."

She offered an analogy as an explanation: If she suffered a leg amputation, Edwards said, people wouldn''t ask, "Are you over that leg yet?"
