Tom Parker heads back to hospital to continue cancer treatment after ditching vegan diet

Tom Parker shared an update with his followers as he underwent treatment for cancer at hospital.

The 32-year-old dad of two, who recently received his first Covid-19 vaccination, filmed himself as he underwent treatment on his stage four tumour.

His latest post came just over four months after The Wanted musician revealed to fans that he had been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour.

In Tom's latest social media post, that the musician shared with his 212,000 Instagram followers on Monday, the singer revealed that he was 'all hooked up' as he underwent his latest round of treatment.

Tom later returned home to his wife and two kids where he later spoke to fans about the changes he has recently made to his diet.

While Tom initially opted for a largely vegan diet, he has since decided to add some meat back into his diet.

"When we first found out I was diagnosed with a brain tumour, everyone was like well on it for me," Tom said on his Instagram story.

"All the information and stuff, I mean, you should have seen some of the stuff I was eating."

"For the first couple of months, I pretty much went vegan didn't I? Like I was eating lentils and s***.

He added: "Anyway, I'm not doing the vegan thing, I didn't really enjoy it. I've added a bit of meat back to my diet, nowhere near as much."

Just last month, Tom also shared his pleasure at learning that his tumour had shrunk significantly since beginning treatment last year.

Following an MRI scan, the musician was told that he was responding well to treatment and vowed to continue fighting.

He wrote: "I had an MRI scan on Tuesday and my results today were a significant reduction to the tumour and I am responding well to treatment.

"Everyday I’m keeping on the fight to shrink this b******!"

Tom continued: "I can’t thank our wonderful NHS enough. You’re all having a tough time out there but we appreciate the work you are all doing on the front line."

Tom and his wife Kelsey welcomed their son Bodhi in October, shortly after learning of his devastating cancer diagnosis.

The couple, who also share one year old Aurelia, have been sharing lots of adorable updates as they enjoy some precious family moments with their newborn.

In his January post, he also had nothing but praise for his wife.

Tom wrote: "To my amazing wife @being_kelsey who has literally been my rock. My babies- I fight for you every second of every day.
