Earlier this year, Bart revealed he has Stage 4 Cancer. He’s had a bumpy road to this point with some victories and some less than victories in his treatment. His liver cancer has shrunk and is being maintained. But, his prostate cancer has gone to where he needs radiation and they are going to try and cut it out with surgery.
