Keep reading to find out more… “So….

Yesterday I was diagnosed with at least a stage 2 Glioma. It is a fairly decent sized brain tumor. The tumor’s cells originate in the brain, so it’s not spread from a cancer anywhere else in the body,” Barton wrote on Instagram along with a selfie from the hospital and a few photos of his brain scans. “The only course of treatment for something like this is brain surgery,” Barton continued. “Docs so far have been confident that they’ll be able to remove most of the tumor, and that after a successful operation, and some rehab, I will be operating like my (amazing, talented, brilliant, hilarious) self.

That being said it seems like scans and check ups will be apart of my life for its lengthy remainder.” Barton concluded, “My family and I are taking several days to get second opinions.

Planning to go into surgery middle or end of next week. I’ll do my best to be open about the journey on here. I am planning on fully bouncing back to be better than my former glory!
