Jimmy Carter is ready
Jimmy Carter, in his latest news conference has revealed that his cancer has spread to his brain. More importanly he revealed that he is at peace with himself and ready for whatever will come.
Former president Jimmy Carter said that the cancer doctors discovered earlier this year on his liver has also been found on his brain. Carter, 90, said he will receive his first radiation treatment for the disease Thursday afternoon.Those who speak so loudly of their faith would do well to emulate this man.
"I'm perfectly at ease with whatever comes," Carter said at a news conference.
Carter said Thursday that doctors found "four spots of melanoma on my brain -- small spots" after first discovering cancer during an Aug. 3 operation to remove a tumor from his liver...
Carter spoke to a full room of journalists, reflecting on -- and occasionally joking about -- his legacy in the White House and as a global humanitarian.
He called his work with the Carter Center "personally more gratifying" than his presidency, though he joked that he wished he might have been able to serve a second term and then engage in humanitarian work after leaving the White House.
"I think I have been as blessed as any human being in the world," Carter said. "So I'm thankful and hopeful."
