Doctors say Gary Carter’s tumors are likely malignant
The following is a statement issued by doctors at Duke University Hospital:
“Following a thorough examination and assessment of Gary Carter, biopsies were performed this morning from a tumor located in Mr. Carter’s brain. The preliminary results are that his tumor appears to be malignant. Once the pathology report is available, which will take several days, we will discuss treatment options with Mr. Carter and his family.
In the meantime, Mr. Carter is in excellent spirits and good physical condition. He is resting comfortably, surrounded by his family. We hope that his friends and fans will continue to pray for Mr. Carter and his family during this time.”

According to the Daily News, doctors are “90% certain” that the four tumors found in Gary Carter’s brain are malignant.
That is just terrible news. I can’t express my sympathies enough for Carter and his family and hope he can get through all of this.
Carter will not know the official diagnosis until sometime next week.
