President Jimmy Carter Says Cancer in Brain Is Gone
- 8 years ago
Former President Jimmy Carter said Sunday that an MRI scan earlier in the week showed his cancer is gone.
Carter, 91, announced the good news to attendees of a Sunday school class he often teaches at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia.
"Went for an MRI this past week and they (doctors) didn't find any cancer at all in the brain," Carter said.
Carter revealed in August that he would undergo radiation treatment for several melanoma spots on his brain and liver after he learned a mass removed from his liver was melanoma.
Last month, the 39th president said he was feeling well, and tests showed the cancer had not spread any further, the Carter Center, a nonprofit organization he set up after leaving the presidency, said in a statement.
