Former President Jimmy Carter Announces Cancer Diagnosis
Thursday, August 13th, 2015
Former President Jimmy Carter, who is both a pre-eminent citizen of Georgia and a history-making figure in international public health, announced Wednesday that he has cancer.
Carter, 90, had surgery earlier this month to remove a small mass from his liver. Tests showed that it was malignant and that the cancer had spread to other parts of his body, he said in his announcement. He will be cutting back his travel schedule to remain in Atlanta for treatment at Emory Healthcare, he added.
