We knew she was failing, but she was pictured on her feet and smiling the day before, and none of her family expected her to die that soon. 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Back in 2015 Jimmy Carter had metastatic melanoma which had spread to his brain and liver and nearly everyone including me thought he was a goner right then. He survived that, made a miraculous recovery and since managed to outlive countless more of what you've already mentioned as well as the Queen, one of his successors and even his own vice president. Total immortal. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Mr. Carter was not suffering any particular ailment that prompted him to enter hospice care last February, according to people close to him, but was tired of being in and out of the hospital and wanted to spend his final days at home with Mrs. Carter." Yeah, I know there's some WaPo infobox that says he has cancer now, but given it's not in the article they link and the above NYT passage there's no way it's not just a mistake. If he was actually ill with cancer now he would have died months ago. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he was actually ill with cancer now he would have died months ago. There's no way it's just a mistake. He would've had to be receiving medical treatment either to treat a recurrence or at least to prevent it from recurring. His survival thus far makes sense considering what @Prophet noted: On 31/12/2023 at 12:18, Prophet said: Everybody who visits an nursing home would be surprised on how long some people can survive in absolutely horrible condition. I had a 87-year old patient who had terminal cancer, which wasn't treatable anymore so he technically was in the same situation as Jimmy Carter and he was still alive on my last day of work with no indication of dying any time soon, after having this disease for years. At Jimmy's age, his cells divide much slower so his cancer is less aggressive than for younger folks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His survival thus far makes sense considering what Prophet noted: Sure, but their citation itself says nothing of the sort, and it contradicts the only real in-depth article we've had about his hospice situation. Laziness can happen everywhere. Quote "Rosalynn Carter, a close political and policy adviser to her husband, President Jimmy Carter, died Nov. 19. The Carters spent the final months of their time together at the family home in Plains, Ga. The former president decided in February to stop medical treatment for an aggressive form of melanoma skin cancer." Quote Carter has overcome serious health problems, including in 2015 when he was diagnosed with melanoma that had spread to his liver and brain. After treatment, doctors said he defied the odds, and Carter announced later that year that he was cancer-free. Saturday’s announcement from the Atlanta-based Carter Center did not specify whether his cancer had returned or whether another health condition prompted his decision that he was ready for hospice rather than continuing medical care. Unless of course it's just something you want to believe. Which I wouldn't recommend because it will be frustrating when he keeps living. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not that I have anything against the great man, but there are only so many posts and articles about his immortal status I can take. I mean, I just made two posts where I argued, for some reason, that a guy who presently looks like a zombie and would die if lightly touched doesn't have cancer. I'm sure he'd be elated to find out I have such a high opinion of his health. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the fact he's remained in hospice even after his wife died lends credence to the story of his cancer returning. Even if he didn't go in because it returned, it's quite likely he had to continue medical treatment to prevent it from doing so. I'm guessing now, having stopped medical treatment for nine months before his wife died, it's too late for him to leave hospice and return to treatment, the cancer being too advanced. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that's proof positive he knows he can't be treated for whatever he has now and that he just wants to die naturally, however much time that may take. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
