Good news for Gary Carter on Tuesday after the Hall of Famer got the results of his MRI exam.

According to his daughter Kimmy Bloemers, the brain tumors are “80 percent better.”

The Mets great, who was diagnosed with Grade-4 brain cancer in May, was told by his doctor at Duke Medical Center that there “is much less swelling.”

Writing on a family website, Bloemers said the size of the tumors is a “little dense” and “less angry.”

Carter will begin another round of chemotherapy, but “the most important fact is the tumors are starting to go away.”

Doctors also told Carter that after they initially discovered the tumors, they had doubled in size by the next MRI, just 10 days later.
