Jimmy Carter Teaches Sunday School Just Days After Cancer Treatment

Early this month, Carter announced that advanced cancer had spread from his liver to his brain in the form of melanoma. He will undergo four treatments scheduled at three-week intervals, he said.

After the lesson, Carter heads to the old schoolhouse in town to meet those who didn’t make it into the church. Hugh Freeman drove all the way from Atlanta to get his.

The one-time peanut farmer lives in Plains, Georgia, with Rosalynn. Despite this sad announcement, Mr. Carter chose to continue teaching in the Sunday School of his hometown at Plains, Georgia where a great multitude have gathered from far and near to listen to the former president, this time not giving any political speech, but preaching the word of God. Former President Jimmy Carter’s melanoma diagnosis highlights treatment that includes both radiation and IV immune therapy.

Carter’s father, brother and two sisters all died of pancreatic cancer.

She said she felt humbled by Carter’s message.

“Please don’t say ‘I’m so sorry you have cancer, ‘” she said. Instead, he said, family members may have to take his place. I was only partly right; when I was done, President Carter did promptly rise to his feet to discuss my talk.
