Gary Carter's health takes turn for worse
Thursday, January 19, 2012
NEW YORK (AP) -- Gary Carter's health has taken a turn for the worse.
The Hall of Fame catcher, diagnosed last May with a malignant brain tumor, received results of his latest MRI exam Thursday, according to the online journal of his daughter, Kimmy Bloomers.
She writes "I wish I could say that the results were good. ... There are now several new spots/tumors on my dad's brain. I write these words with tears because I am so sad for my dad."
Carter had the MRIs Friday in North Palm Beach, Fla., and they were sent to his doctors at Duke University for evaluation.
A day earlier, he fell at a doctor's appointment and completely tore a rotator cuff, Bloomers wrote, adding that he also fell on Christmas Eve.
