Netflix star Barton Cowperthwaite (31) is known from the drama series “Tiny Pretty Things”, where he plays the role of Oren Lennox.
About the cancer: – Now I will be alone
In a new video, shared on Instagram, Cowperthwaite says that in the last eight weeks he has had several seizures, the last of which ended up in the emergency room.
At the emergency department, a CT scan was taken, and eventually also an MRI scan, which showed a tumor the size of a lemon in his frontal lobe.

On Saturday, the 31-year-old took to Instagram to share the disappointing update with his fans.
“So …. Yesterday I was diagnosed with at least stage 2 glioma. That’s a pretty decent size for a brain tumor. The cells of the tumor originate in the brain, so it does not spread from cancer elsewhere in the body,” began Cowperthwaite, who has thus been diagnosed with brain cancer.
– Not sure if the body would tolerate it
Gliomas, or primary brain tumors, are tumors that arise in the brain or meninges. A common feature of gliomas is that they rarely spread to other organs. according to PEDIATRIC Gliomas are the most common group of brain tumors.
“The only treatment for something like this is brain surgery,” the actor explains further.

“So far the doctors have been confident that they will be able to remove most of the tumor and that after a successful operation and some rehabilitation, I will be able to function as my (amazing, talented, brilliant, funny) self.”
The 31-year-old seems positive, but adds that he now faces a terrifying everyday life, characterized by scans and checks.
