Report: Gary Carter has brain tumorsEmail Print Comments33 ESPNNewYork.com
Former New York Mets catcher Gary Carter has been diagnosed with four small brain tumors, according to the New York Daily News.
The Hall of Famer will have surgery at Duke University Hospital within the next few days, the paper reported.
According to the Daily News, a source close to Carter, 57, said the former catcher had been complaining of headaches and forgetfulness recently. An MRI on Saturday revealed the tumors.
It won't be known until the surgery whether the tumors are malignant, according to the paper.
Carter spent 19 years with the Mets, Expos, Giants and Dodgers. He hit .262 with 324 career home runs and 1,225 RBIs.
He has been managing at Palm Beach Atlantic College this past year, near his home in Palm Beach, Fla.

<< <i>Been a bad few months for HOFers. How about some good news? Let's find out those tumors aren't deadly and Carter's got 30-40 more years in him! >>
WOW -- I can't tell you what a punch in the gut it was when I heard the news ~ but ~ like Sam said above my prayers are that this was caught early, they are operable and he will be able to use the experience to bring awareness like he has with many other causes.
His faith will be a rock for him and his family -- it will help with whatever the near future brings.
Prayer is important to him so please direct some his way.
Prayer, strength, and 1 day at a time.

I remember when he was a player it seemed like he always had a smile on his face.

I pray he's at peace and surrounded by the ones he loves and love him
Brain cancer is either the most or second most painful types of cancer to suffer with. Since he is that bad, we can only pray that God takes him peacefully.
God bless Gary Carter
I had a MRI for the very same reasons this past year. Luckily for me, it was not a tumor.
I can think back many years when I had an Aunt pass from cancer. It was crazy because not many people had even heard of it,
and my family had not.
Fast forward to now, and just about every single person I know has multiple stories and family members that have cancer.
where is the cure? how many people need to die???

My father had Bone Ca. and that is about the most painful of all Cancers.

We have to live knowing that people we love, care about, and know, are just starting life when they move on to the next place.
Still don't understand fully the suffering part, probably never will. The only thing that makes sense is to use others stories in our own lives, and never take one thing for granted.

My best friend's mother was diagnosed with a brain tumor in May 2010 (about one year before Gary), and they said the typical life expectancy was roughly 12-18 months. From what has been public information, she appeared to have been diagnosed at the same rough stages as Gary. She had a courageous battle for 20 months and passed away last week. My best wishes go out to the Carter family.
