This morning's news featured the death of Gary Carter, famous baseball player and Hall of Famer from brain cancer at age 57. I checked a few sites and it looks like he and Steve both had glioblastoma multiforme, grade 4, but Gary's was inoperable for some reason. I don't know why. Apparently they tried treatment to shrink the tumor. New tumors formed, one site said he had four. He lived about nine months after his diagnosis.
I think it's safe to say that Steve's prognosis is very different from Gary Carter's because of the success Steve had with surgery. Our sympathy to the Carter family.
