Former President Jimmy Carter said Sunday his cancer is gone.

Many then took to social media to say "yay."

Carter said in a statement that his most recent MRI brain scan did not reveal any signs of the original cancer spots or any new ones and that he’ll continue his treatment.

Carter, 91, initially made the announcement near the beginning of the Sunday School class he was teaching at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, a close friend and fellow church member said.

Cher and Dan Rather shared their thoughts on the good news. See their tweets and others below.
