Jimmy Carter Says Latest Brain Scan Shows No Cancer

ATLANTA (AP) - "My most recent MRI brain scan did not reveal any signs of the original cancer spots nor any new ones," Carter said in a statement.
The two-sentence statement followed reports that he had shared the good news with a Sunday school class at Maranatha Baptist Church in Carter's hometown of Plains, Georgia.

"I went to the doctors this week for the second time," Carter said in a video posted on Twitter by NBC News. "The first time I went for an MRI of my brain, the four places were still there but they were responding to the treatment. And when I went this week, they didn't find any cancer at all. So I have good news."

Carter smiled slightly as people in the congregation responded with applause.
