Carter, who is 90 years old, said he was "surprisingly at ease" when he received the news that the melanoma previously found in his liver has now been discovered in four spots in his brain. He will begin his first course of treatment later today, he announced in a press conference in Atlanta.

Carter had a small mass removed from his liver earlier this month, and last week he announced that surgery had revealed the cancer. He initially felt ill back in May, during a trip to Guyana.
