OHMYGOSSIP — Tom Parker struggles to “find strength in sadness”.
The Wanted singer is currently battling stage four glioblastoma but he insists he won’t be sitting at home “feeling sorry for himself” as he wants to be able to “move forward with his head held high”.
Writing on his Instagram story over the weekend, he shared with his followers: “If you think I’m just sat at home feeling sorry for myself … I will not do that! Don’t get me wrong I could easily do that. There’s times of overwhelming sadness but I don’t find strength in sadness. It’s a terrible situation but I’m moving forward with my head held high. Thank you all for the love and support I’ll give you an update later about how treatment is going’ (sic).”
Meanwhile, his bandmate Max George recently revealed that Tom’s doctors are “shocked” by how well he is responding to treatment for his brain tumour, as he insisted that nothing puts Tom down.
Max said: “Tom’s got something called glioblastoma, which is quite an aggressive form of brain tumour, but he’s had his first bout of chemo and radiotherapy, which he has responded to unbelievably. Doctors were actually shocked by how well he’s responded – all of his tumours have been suppressed, so he’s in the best hands.
“Nothing puts Tom down, nothing. When you talk to him it’s like everything’s normal, and he just wants that – he wants normality. He’s just had his second child, so he’s got so much to focus on – he’s doing great, he’s doing really well.”
Max also revealed that he is proud of Tom for how he is dealing with his illness.
He added: “Tom will be fine, it’s a horrible thing to happen to anyone and I can’t think of anyone who deserves it less than Tom, but he’s dealing with it. And I’m really proud of him for how he’s dealing with it. We’re trying to bring more awareness to the science behind it, because there’s new treatments happening all the time with this. So to an extent, it is right [that there’s no cure] but he’s reacting so well to treatment so hopefully something comes along and it can be cured – that’s the end goal.”
