Cancer spreads to brain

Press Conference0 Comments

At a press conference in Atlanta, Carter says he has been diagnosed with melanoma, a skin cancer that has progressed to his brain and liver, and he will begin a course of radiation therapy today to combat it. Doctors say four small spots of melanoma on his brain are treatable. His surgeons removed the cancer from his liver in an operation earlier this month. He thanks his wife, Rosalynn, then his Emory Healthcare doctors and then the large numbers of well-wishers who have expressed their support for him.
