  • Tom Parker from boy band The Wanted says he refuses to let cancer dominate his life, almost a year on from being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour.
    The star has set up a fundraiser at the Royal Albert Hall in London which will feature Ed Sheeran, Liam Payne and McFly as well as the first appearance for more than seven years by The Wanted.

      Sadly Cancer don't care about what the person wants. I lost two friends due to cancer this year, one to gliobastoma (diagnosed early, stage 1back in 2015, died last month) and my other friend to osteosarcoma (diagnosed last year, she got chemotherapy, radiotherapy and got her leg amputated). Yet none of this was enough and she passed away last week.
      Both were 24. My one friend graduated as an engineer, my other friend had to drop out of school as the cancer got very aggressive.
      I hope Tom gets some alternative treatments as the conventional ones will only stop the cancer for a small period of time, and then it'll come back more aggressively.

    I lost my dad for lung cancer last year. I saw and got through the all things he did or worse and it has been literally soooo hard like words can’t describe it. Like I’m still in grief for the loss.
    I saw my dad lost his weight like Tom. I saw my dad was in much pain mentally, physically which healthy people can’t imagine.
    I’ve been a fan of this band since when I was a teenager and still pretty much love them. Now again have to see my favourite person battles for this shit and it really hurts me. I’m so proud of you Tom for what you achieved last night.
    I pray for you from bottom of my heart for overcoming this illness.
