Former President Jimmy Carter announced on Sunday he is now cancer free.
During his Sunday School at Maranatha Baptist Church he revealed that his latest brain scan didn't show "any signs of the original cancer spots nor any new ones."

The 91-year-old announced in August his illness which doctors have discovered in early Summer this year. He then underwent to electric surgery on Aug. 3 to remove a mass on his liver. After the successful surgery, his doctors revealed that the cancer spread to other parts of his body and onto his brain as doctors have found four lesions, noted by NY Times.
