Jimmy Carter Gets Second Cancer Treatment

Jimmy Carter says he has received the second of four planned drug treatments to fight the cancer that has spread to his brain.

In the weeks since, Carter – known for his indomitable will – has been going about his public routine, almost as though the announcement of his serious illness was about someone else. I started off with 84 ounces of fluids a day, and now the doctors have been nice enough to cut me back to 64 ounces a day.

With his wife Rosalynn by his side, his medical progress occupied about five minutes of the hour-long discussion, an annual tradition at the research center he founded 30 years ago. “Instead of getting productive work done, I spent a lot of time in the restroom”, he said, provoking laughter from the audience.

The former president said the ultimate solution to the migrant crisis was to revolve the war in Syria, and urged the United States to work more closely with Russia and Iran to end the war.

But the 90-year-old also made it clear, he’s slowing down.

“He has enlightened us to what it is to be a member of this country”, said Mr. Plakos.

“And we’ll know what the positive effects are later on”, he said.

Speaking after listening to Carter speak, student Amy Matthews, who managed to steal a selfie with him, said: ‘It’s cool to see a piece of living history.

But Mr. Carter isn’t showing much signs of slowing down just yet.

To roars from the crowd gathered at Emory University’s Carter Center, he told students he was “in good spirits” since being diagnosed with melanoma last month.
