Six months ago, Gary Carter, 57, the former Mets catcher, was diagnosed to have an aggressive brain cancer, glioblastoma, which has been treated with radiation and chemotherapy. Now, his daughter, Kimmy Carter Bloemers, said Thursday on the family’s blog that Gary Carter’s condition has worsened with the discovery of new tumors on his brain. He said “I write these words with tears because I am so sad for my dad. Every day is exhausting and every move takes great effort.”
One of Carter’s doctors will be coming to their house in the evening to talk to the family about the next step. Reportedly, the family itself is debating whether or not to continue treatments of any kind but there’s no clarification from them. “My wife, Sandy, and our children and family thank you for your thoughts and prayers. We ask that you please respect our privacy as we learn more about my medical condition,” Carter said.
Carter’s health has taken a turn for the worst. Last Wednesday, Carter had an open gum wound treated by an oral surgeon. The next day, he fell in his doctor’s office — he also fell on Christmas Day, he was complaining of severe headaches, fatigue and balance problems that resulted in a fall on that day and he is being treated for a torn rotator cuff.
Bloomers also told about the recent Carter’s activity. Carter attended his annual golf tournament’s banquet on Sunday. “Dad spoke a few words thanking everyone for being there and for all the support and prayers. He said he wants to feel better so he can continue to help others.” said Bloemers.
May the treatment and prays can heal him.
