HeadlineDec 07, 2015

And former U.S. President Jimmy Carter says his recent brain scan showed no signs of cancer. The 91-year-old Carter has been undergoing treatment for liver cancer that had spread to his brain. He revealed his cancer-free scan just before teaching Sunday school class at a Baptist church in his hometown of Plains, Georgia.

Jimmy Carter: “When I went this week, they didn’t find any cancer at all, so I have good news. So a lot of people prayed for me, and I appreciate that. So that’s what we’ve been doing, but I wanted to tell you the good news because that happened this week.”
