Tom Parker has shared good news with his fans after receiving the results of his latest brain tumour scan.
The former boyband star took to Twitter to admit he is “grateful” to have been told positive results following the MRI.
Tom, 33, revealed that doctors have told him his inoperable brain tumour has shrunk as his treatment appears to be working.
He wrote: “OK… here goes. The last couple of days have been filled with dread and worry but I’m pleased to announce that the results of yesterday’s scan (lovely birthday present), are stable with a slight reduction in the tumour if anything.
“I can’t tell you how grateful I am to receive this news. We left it a little longer between scans this time just to give time for the medication to work etc but overall a great day.”

A delighted Tom went on to show his gratitude to the health providers working on his care. He added: “Thanks to all our healthcare team. You are truly wonderful. And thank you all you lovely people out there sending love and support. It really is so appreciated. Time to celebrate.”
Tom was diagnosed with a stage 4 glioblastoma last year and received the shocking news that his cancer was inoperable.
The aggressive form of the disease is terminal and has a typically poor prognosis.
Tom, who turned 33 on Wednesday, received floods of messages from fans and friends who were keen to show their support.
Former The Wanted bandmate Max George excitedly replied: “Best news ever mate… you’re beating this like we knew you would. You’re a WARRIOR! Love you mate.”
