Jimmy Carter no longer needs cancer treatment

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/spokeswoman-jimmy-carter-longer-cancer-treatment-37446171
<snip>
Jimmy Carter announced Sunday that he no longer needs treatment for cancer, less than seven months after revealing he had been diagnosed with melanoma that spread to his brain.

Carter, 91, shared the news at one of his regular Sunday School classes at Maranatha Baptist Church in his hometown of Plains, Georgia.

Carter always starts his lessons with a brief update on his recent activities. This week, Carter told the class, he received an MRI lasting more than 2 hours.

"And then the doctors determined that I didn't need any more treatment," Carter said in a video posted by WXIA-TV. "So I'm not going to have any more treatment."

He and Rosalynn didn't need to change the China either. Did you know ReTHUGs called him the 'blue jeans' President so they could justify all those expensive outfits that followed?

You want a love story - They've been married for almost 70 years.
