Former U.S. President Free Of Cancer

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter said on Sunday that medical tests show his brain cancer is gone.

Carter, 91, made the announcement in front of a Sunday school class that he was teaching at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia. Jill Stuckey who attends the church said “He said he got a scan this week and the cancer was gone. The church, everybody here, just erupted in applause.”

Carter who was the 39th President of the United States and served from 1977 to 1981, revealed in August that he would undergo radiation treatment for several melanoma spots on his brain.  “I’ll be prepared for anything that comes,” he said at the time.
