President Obama is sending his best wishes to former President Jimmy Carter on hearing the news of his cancer diagnosis.

Carter released a statement through his foundation, the Carter Center...

"Recent liver surgery revealed that I have cancer that now is in other parts of my body. I will be rearranging my schedule as necessary so I can undergo treatment by physicians at Emory Healthcare. A more complete public statement will be made when facts are known, possibly next week."

 

President Obama said "Jimmy, you're as resilient as they come, and along with the rest of America, we are rooting for you."
