Jesse Bartz, drummer for stoner rock band Lo-Pan, has been battling cancer that was recently detected in his tonsils. He underwent surgery for the situation and will continue to receive radiation treatment going forward. A GoFundMe for his mounting medical bills has been launched here.
An update on his health shared by his wife Abby this past Wednesday, April 13th, read:
“Jesse is out of surgery and the source of cancer has been found in his tonsils. They have been removed with additional tissue in that area. He will stay overnight for monitoring and hopefully go home tomorrow. The next phase of treatment will be radiation and possible chemo to dissolve the cancer cells caught up in the neck lymph nodes. His doctor says this course of treatment is highly effective.”
