The doctors will know more Tuesday and are expected to confirm results then. Despite the difficult diagnosis, the family remains hopeful that Carter can be cured completely, Carter's daughter, Kimmy Bloemers, wrote on a family website.
 "This will not be an easy road at all, nor is this a simple battle but WE WILL FIGHT," Bloemers wrote late Saturday night.
