Barton Cowperthwaite diagnosed with brain cancer
The actor took to Instagram and shared the sad news with fans, stating, “So…. Yesterday I was diagnosed with at least a stage 2 Glioma. It is a fairly decent-sized brain tumour. The tumour’s cells originate in the brain, so it’s not spread from cancer anywhere else in the body.”
He continued, “The only course of treatment for something like this is brain surgery. Docs so far have been confident that they’ll be able to remove most of the tumour and that after a successful operation and some rehab, I will be operating like my (amazing, talented, brilliant, hilarious) self.”
Barton revealed that after consulting with his family, he is planning to go into surgery middle or end of next week.
The actor appeared in high spirits, stating, “I am planning on fully bouncing back to be better than my former glory.”
