Carter eager to visit Nepal despite cancer treatment

August 21, 2015 03:37

Former US president and Nobel peace laureate Jimmy Carter who is being treated for cancer on his brain, hopes that he would be able to make his scheduled trip to Nepal this November.

While this would depend on advice of his doctors and his health conditions then, Carter, 90, said a visit to Nepal later this year would require a five-week postponement of his last radiation therapy.

"I would still hope to go (to Nepal). It would require an airplane flight from Kathmandu to the Chitwan area, which is south down toward the Indian border. And if I do that, I understand from my schedule that it would require a five-week postponement of my last treatment. So that's what I'm going to have to consider," Carter told media persons.
