Baseball Hall of Famer Gary Carter’s condition worsened this past week with the discovery of new brain tumors.
The Thursday announcement on Carter’s daughter’s, Kimmy Carter Bloemers, blog post shares the details of Carter’s past week concluding with the results of Carter’s MRI.
“This past week has been one of the hardest weeks for my dad,” Carter wrote in her blog. “Every day is exhausting and every move takes great effort.”
Carter had oral surgery on an open wound injury Jan 11 and tore his rotator cuff the following day during his fall in his doctor’s office, according to Bloemer’s blog.
Carter, 57-year-old Hall of Fame catcher and rightfielder, was diagnosed May 2011 with a brain tumor and has been undergoing treatment, according to Bloemers’ blog post. Carter went for an MRI last week in North Palm Beach, Fla., which revealed the development several new tumors.
“Yesterday [Wednesday], we were waiting in anticipation for dad's MRI results (since they were being sent to Duke) but were told they would be in today.... My mom received a phone call from Dr. V at Duke. I wish I could say that the results were good,” Bloemers continued.
