Jimmy Carter announces he is cancer-free after latest MRI
The Guardian ^ | 12-06-2015 | Tom McCarthy

“My most recent MRI brain scan did not reveal any signs of the original cancer spots nor any new ones,” Carter said in a statement on Sunday. “I will continue to receive regular 3-week immunotherapy treatments of pembrolizumab,” he added, referring to a common cancer drug.

Carter, 91, first shared the news with worshippers at the Baptist church in Georgia where he teaches Bible study on Sunday. The news was confirmed by two grandsons.

Let's keep it classy FRiends. As I suspect is true of pretty much everyone on here, I cordially detest this man's politics. But having lost loved ones to cancer, I would not wish such a fate on my worst enemy. And so I rejoice that a merciful God has spared him and his family.

Would Pembrolizumab have been invented under Obamacare?

Well he has shut his mouth lately so I wish him the best. Maybe he’s happy knowing he’s no longer the worst POTUS of all time.

Classy.
May his remaining time be short
and his suffering not too horrific.

Another casualty of socialized medicine. Medical research and development, pharmacology research and innovative ideas all come to a gradual halt. When is the last time any socialized medicine country discovered or created the latest and greatest in Medicine? They don't. Nuff' said.

It seems a little premature to be making such an announcement, but if it’s true then he’s been very fortunate.

Of course, the Democrats want a two-tier medical system, with them in the upper tier.

Cancer has a reputation for being a “B” and creeping back up on you after you get a clear report. Doctors usually want to monitor it for months to make sure it did really take. I’ve lost friends to cancer who fought it off once only to have to come back twice as a aggressive.

A couple of courses of IV Vitamin C will make most cases “cancer free.”

But if you don’t remove the inflammatory cause, it will return.

you know, I think of certain people that seem to get a second chance on life...

Castro comes to mind- one of the WORSE human beings
alive!- saved by doctors flown in from Europe-

more death from him and his brother- sometimes you
just have to pray that evil will pass by-
and wait for God’s judgment-

For Jimmy- I label him a DEMONRAT- allied with Castro
the Norks,red Chinese, false teaching “Christian”
I pray he does not trample on more good people

He is a carrier and a spreader of the cancer that is afflicting present day America. He would be considered the worst president ever if hadn’t been overtaken by that zer0 in the White Hut.

I'll join in with you. His horrible political ideology notwithstanding, I'm glad for him as a human being.
