Jimmy Carter says cancer has spread to brain, will begin radiation treatment

Former President Jimmy Carter announced Thursday that his cancer is on four small spots on his brain and he will immediately begin radiation treatment, saying he is "at ease with whatever comes."

"I'm ready for anything and looking forward to a new adventure," said Carter, appearing upbeat and making jokes as he openly talked about his cancer during a news conference.

So far, the pain has been "very slight" and Carter said he hasn't felt any weakness or debility. Still, he will cut back on his work with the Carter Center and will give the treatment regimen his "top priority." His first radiation treatment was set for Thursday afternoon.

No one can say what any one individual's prognosis is, but the great thing about his nearly 40-miknute live media conference this morning was his constant referral to his faith. Of the fact he originally thought the cancer was limited to his liver, but later was told an MRI found the brain lesions, he said, "I just thought I had a few weeks left, but I was surprisingly at ease. I've had a wonderful life. It's in God's hands. I'll be prepared for anything that comes."

As I said when he first made the announcement that he has cancer, I don't agree with his politics, and I certainly struggled serving in the military during the Carter presidency, but his witness for Christ is what the country needs to hear now, and I think he's starting out well.
