Jimmy Carter says that his most recent brain scan showed no signs of cancer.
The former president said in a statement that he will continue to receive doses of Keytruda, a recently approved auto-immune drug to help his body seek out cancer cells in his body.
Carter says the scan showed no signs of the original cancer “spots” or any new ones.
Carter, 91, announced in August that he had been diagnosed with melanoma that spread to his brain. Doctors removed a portion of his liver and found four small tumors on his brain.
He received a round of radiation targeted at those tumors and regular doses of Keytruda. Carter has remained active during treatment, continuing his humanitarian work and volunteering with Habitat for Humanity.

Breaking news!! Doctors performed a brain scan on Jimmy Carter and found nothing there!!
We all knew that a long time ago, as the picture above proves.
Does it show a brain?
I think it is highly inappropriate to editorialize about the miracle of recovery or remission from a serious cancer threat for a former President of the United States and a charitable individual by showing a photo of him with Abas. We can disagree on mid-east policy issues but can do so in a civil way without trying to demonize him by showing totally unrelated photo to the story taken over two decades ago.
#4 Charitable individual? In what way exactly is he charitable? Oh you mean all of our money he gave away as president? I guess in your mind Obama too is most charitable. 10 trillion dollars of new debt charitable. Of and by the way that’s not abas – its Arafat yimach shemo. And I look forward to the day that Carter meets him in hell which won’t be too long.
to commenter #4: you are a gadol hadorah like that is a picture of abbas. (fyi its a pic of Arafat)
