ATLANTA — Former President Jimmy Carter said Thursday that doctors had found cancer on his brain and that he would begin radiation treatment later in the day.

Mr. Carter, speaking at a news conference at the Carter Center here, said his health had been under scrutiny since May, when he had a cold while traveling in Guyana.

The former president added that the cancer, which he said was melanoma, had been found in his liver, part of which was removed during a procedure on Aug. 3. He described the melanoma on his brain as four “very small spots.”

Old leftys with gold plated health care seem to live a very long time (Carter, Soros, Castro, etc).

Aren’t really old people like Carter the ones Obama said to “just give a pain pill” in his Obamacare speeches?

It has been there since the days he gave away the Panama Canal. The politically correct thing to say is “Poor Jimmah Carter, I wish him well” but after watching this turd for decades I say adios!

I know most Freepers don’t want to hear this but Jimmy Carter was one of the most authentic Presidents we have had. His simple life in Plains, His Sunday School teaching, and his worldwide charities are much to be lauded. His tenure as President and his democratic policies were much to be abhorred!

Jimmah was a sh!tty President. That said, he is one of the finest ex-presidents we have ever had given his service to Habitat for Humanity. Prayers up for him and his family.

I agree with your post.
He was overwhelmed by the job of POTUS and relied on leftist advisors.
He basically stumbled into the job in the aftermath of Vietnam and Nixon.
But fundamentally a decent fellow.

I hope that he doesn’t think that people will be pining for daily updates on his condition. Is he gonna next tell us that his hemorrhoids are painful?

I’m uninterested in hearing about him and his condition. People die. Get over it.

He wants a bigger funeral than Nixon had. Advertising.

Yes. Obama even said that to a daughter of an elderly woman. He had the gall to tell a woman that to her face.
