That is good news, particularly at Jimmy’s age even if the cancer returns he’s probably bought himself real time, probably more time than he’s statistically likely to have left before he would die of “other causes.”
All the better for his chances to see the last guinea worm die!
Former president Jimmy Carter announced Sunday that he no longer needs treatment for cancer, less than seven months after revealing a diagnosis of melanoma that had spread to his brain.
Carter, 91, shared the news at one of his regular Sunday School classes at Maranatha Baptist Church in his home town of Plains, Ga.
Carter always starts his lessons with a brief update on his recent activities. This week, he told the class, he had an MRI that lasted more than two hours.
“And then the doctors determined that I didn’t need any more treatment,” Carter said in a video posted by WXIA-TV. “So I’m not going to have any more treatment.”
