Gary Carter in bad shape
 

This is a rough deal. Gary Carter with inoperable brain tumor(s). Story tries to be encouraging, but...

Huge Met fan. Love Gary. Love how hard he played...Sending him my love though it doesn't like he has very long.

Going to be a rough time for him. Wish him all the best.

Carter was one of those guys who had decent talent but delivered tremendous effort everytime he played. It's a shame these things happen.

Was also a great guy. I had the pleasure of spending about 90 minutes of one on one time with him when I was 15 as I tried to continue my dominance as Mid Suburban Catcher of the decade.

:rolleyes:

He's not dead yet.....I anticipate him to give a valiant effort! God bless him!

On the day after civil unions went into effect here, this is quite an admission on your part. Congrats?

How's Amelia handling the news?

If he watches the video in your signature, he's got a real shot at making it I think.

possible...even for you!

You make no sense....ever. When was your lobotomy?

Plenty of sense, dipstick! You're too deep into yourself to figure it out! whateva....

God bless you

His mercy is new every morning!

You never answered the lobotomy question. And why haven't you started any birthday threads lately?

"god bless us every one!" Now, back to the thread's subject, my prayers go out to Mr Carter and his family...no one deserves this fate but it is the fate of us all to die...may he find strength in whatever he believes!

Too much trouble wishing people a good day when I have you to look forward to....

let's let Kasept's thread have it's due,huh?

Is it me?

You're like kid in homeroom that brings it to the attention of everyone in class that the guy in front of you has big ears!

And you're the kid in the back of the room eating paste.

not to excess.....I remember the white paste was not unpleasant:)

Makes a lot of sense.

My father lasted 8-1/2 months with Stage 4 GBM in 2003-2004. He had single tumor on left side of brain. Surgeon successfully resected as much as possible. Prognosis was 6-12 months. Dad enjoyed about 2 months of moderate quality of life, about 6 months of "just being here", and last 3 weeks in hospice environment.

This published story here poses some optimism towards possible cure. In 2003, 5-year mortality rate was 2 percent. GBM is most aggressive of over 150 known brain cancers. Senator Kennedy was fortunate that his tumor was discovered quite early which led to better results for him and his family.

Hopefully, Gary Carter will continue to receive great care and enjoy his remain days with his family and friends.
