Jimmy Carter is Cancer Free

Miracle or Science?

Former president, Jimmy Carter announced to his Sunday school class at Maranatha Baptist Church that he is cancer free. In August, Carter announced that he had a deadly form of skin cancer in his liver and his brain. He was treated via surgery, radiation and a new form of immunotherapy. Carter stated, "My most recent MRI brain scan did not reveal any signs of the original cancer spots nor any new ones. I will continue to receive regular three-week immunotherapy treatments of pembrolizumab." 

I think that this is important because, first off, the technology that they used was really important. I think that we could use this for a lot of different types of cancers. Also it's important because Jimmy Carter was a former president, he is a part of our history.
