Carter was on his way to go turkey hunting, the spokeswoman, Deanna Congileo, said in a statement. She said that he was treated in Americus, Georgia, near his home in Plains, and that his wife, Rosalynn, was with him.
In the statement, Congileo said: “President Carter said his main concern is that turkey season ends this week, and he has not reached his limit. He hopes the State of Georgia will allow him to rollover the unused limit to next year.”
Carter, 94, disclosed in 2015 that cancer that had been discovered on his liver and had also been found on his brain. He received treatment for seven months until scans showed no sign of the disease.
At the time he revealed the cancer, he said he felt “perfectly at ease with whatever comes.”
“I’ve had a wonderful life,” he said. “I’ve had thousands of friends, I’ve had an exciting, adventurous and gratifying existence.”
This peanut farmer is still kicking?
Thank you for helping me to fulfill “Rejoice not when your enemy falleth”.
I hope I am still hunting when I am ninety-four.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer man.
For those of you who represent yourself as being religious, and observant, kindly refrain from any lashon hora, regarding Carter’s health issues. If you don’t have anything positive to say, then kindly don’t say anything. Todah Raba!
Y’mach shemo. He’s like his old pal Arafat who also managed to survive cancer and a plane crash.
