Jimmy Carter with his wife, Rosalynn (Feb. 2015)
Former President Jimmy Carter released
the statement below this afternoon:
Recent liver surgery revealed that I have cancer now that is in other parts of my body. I will be rearranging my schedule as necessary so I can undergo treatment by physicians at Emory Healthcare. A more complete public statement will be made when facts are known, possibly next week.
Carter is 90 years old. Our thoughts and best wishes are with him and his family.
