Tom Parker of The Wanted says his brain tumor has shrunk
Tom Parker, the singer from the boy band The Wanted diagnosed with Stage 4 brain cancer, said Thursday that there has been a major shrinkage in the size of his tumor.
Parker, 32, wrote in an Instagram post that an MRI scan showed “significant reduction” in the tumor and that he is responding positively to treatment.
“Everyday I’m keeping on the fight to shrink this bastard!” he said in the post.
Along with the statement, he attached an image of himself and his wife, Kelsey Hardwick, each holding one of their two babies.
Parker announced in October that he had been diagnosed with glioblastoma. He said doctors informed him that the tumor is terminal.
The Wanted, a British-Irish group known for the song “Glad You Came,” formed in 2009.
In his Instagram post, Parker said Thursday was a “good day,” adding an expletive.
