http://edition.cnn.com/2015/11/10/politics/jimmy-carter-cancer-responding-well/<snip>
Former President Jimmy Carter's cancer has stopped spreading and is "responding well to treatment," The Carter Center in Atlanta said in a statement Tuesday.
Carter, 91, announced in August that four spots of cancer had spread to his brain.
On Tuesday, Carter's presidential library, citing his doctors, said his treatment at Emory University's Winship Cancer Institute in Atlanta has gone well.
"President Carter has received good news from his Winship Cancer Institute doctors," The Carter Center said.
"They tell him that recent tests have shown there is no evidence of new malignancy, and his original problem is responding well to treatment. Further tests will continue."
Carter said in August that he initially thought he only had weeks to live -- but that even as his doctors became more optimistic, he was placing his fate in the hands of God.

Love you Jimmy Carter

(2,062 posts)9. So here is my take
Here we have one of the most phenomenal humans that ever lived, dying of cancer, 91 years old, never did a bad thing in his life, was one of the most misunderstood presidents of our times, never fired a shot in war during his tenure, etc... and STILL TO THIS DAY out building houses for the homeless, while we have Trump, Carson, Christy and the rest of the GOP Asshats running a muck....
ITS HARD TO FATHOM........
