EXCLUSIVE<\/span> Tom Parker’s widow Kelsey reveals her young children still speak to their late father everyday: ‘They understand what a brain tumour is’<\/h1>\n

Tom Parker’s widow Kelsey has revealed their young children still talk to him every day.<\/p>\n

The Wanted star Tom died aged 33 on March 30 2022 following a battle with brain cancer.<\/p>\n

Speaking at Action For Children’s Starry Night Gala at London’s Battersea Arts Centre on Thursday night she said: ‘They speak to him every day.<\/p>\n

‘Today my daughter said something like, “I see a winter. Oh daddy, do you see this?”.<\/p>\n

‘She’ll go on to my nan’s garden, and be like “oh dad…”. She’ll start talking to him.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tom Parker ‘s widow Kelsey has revealed their young children Aurelia, two, and Bodhi, 20 months, still talk to him every day and she encourages them to do so<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Speaking at Action For Children’s Starry Night Gala at London’s Battersea Arts Centre on Thursday night, Kelsey added the children know what happened to their dad and understand what a brain tumour is<\/p>\n

‘And I’m really into it. I’ll say, “Talk to your dad”.<\/p>\n

She added: ‘The kids know absolutely everything about what happened. They understand what a brain tumour is.’<\/p>\n

The couple share a daughter Aurelia, two, and a son Bodhi, 20 months.<\/p>\n

Tom was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma in October 2020.<\/p>\n

Speaking about Christmas Kelsy said: ‘We used to always go to my mum’s, but I don’t want to always do the same as what we did because it’s not the same now.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘So this year my family are coming to me instead. Tom loved Christmas so much.<\/p>\n

‘We’d both go shopping and decorate the tree together and he’d go extreme because he was so into this time of year.<\/p>\n

‘And it’s kind of made me not like Christmas, even though I’m a very positive person.’<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tom was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma in October 2020 and after his passing, Kelsey, 33, confirmed the tragic news to everyone (pictured here with their two children)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After Tom’s passing, Kelsey posted: ‘We are truly thankful for the outpouring of love and support and ask that we all unite to ensure Tom’s light continues to shine for his beautiful children’ <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tom Parker and his then fiancee Kelsey Hardwick arrive at Jurassic Park live at the Royal Albert Hall in London in November 2016<\/p>\n

After Tom\u2019s death, Kelsey, 33, found happiness with former convict Sean Boggans, who was jailed in 2013 for four years after he killed a man with one punch.<\/p>\n

But she found herself the target of social media trolls for moving onto a new romance – something she has admitted was hard to be criticised for.<\/p>\n

It is not known whether the pair are together anymore.<\/p>\n

Other guests attending the Starry Night Gala included Alison Hammond and Love Island’s Luca Bish and Fatima Whitbread.<\/p>\n

Charlotte Church performed with a choir made up of young carers.<\/p>\n

WHAT IS A GLIOBLASTOMA AND JUST HOW DEADLY IS IT?\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Glioblastoma is considered the most aggressive tumor that can form in the brain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Patients have a 10 percent chance of surviving five years after their diagnosis, according to figures.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The average lifespan is between 14 and 16 months.<\/p>\n

Three adults per every 100,000 will be struck down with a glioblastoma, says The American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS).<\/p>\n

It is most commonly found in men aged 50 to 60, and there is no link between developing glioblastoma and having a previous history with other cancers.<\/p>\n

WHAT IS THE TUMOR MADE OF?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The tumor is made up of a mass of cells growing quickly in the brain, and in most cases patients have no family history of the disease.<\/p>\n

It won’t spread to other organs, however, once it is diagnosed, it is nearly impossible to target, surgeons claim.<\/p>\n

WHAT TREATMENT IS AVAILABLE?<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Because the tumor likely already spread deep into the brain by the time it is diagnosed, the cancerous tissue is incredibly difficult to remove.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Surgeon will only ever remove the tumor, or part of the tumor, if it won’t do any damage to the surrounding brain tissue.<\/p>\n

Dr Babcar Cisse, a neurosurgeon at the Weill Cornell Brain and Spine Center, told Daily Mail Online in July 2017: ‘By the time a glioblastoma is diagnosed, microfibers can spread to the rest of the brain which an MRI would not spot.<\/p>\n

‘So even if the main tumor is removed and the patient receives radiation and chemotherapy, it will come back.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

GRADING A GLIOBLASTOMA<\/span><\/p>\n

Brain tumors are graded from between one to four, depending on how fast they grow and how aggressive they are.<\/p>\n

Malignant tumors are either given a high-grade three or four, while benign ones are given a lower grade one or two.\u00a0<\/p>\n

SYMPTOMS<\/span><\/p>\n

Patients typically complain of symptoms such as confused vision, trouble with memory, dizziness and headaches.<\/p>\n

The symptoms are somewhat nonspecific, and vary from person to person, and may not persist.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The disease is therefore impossible to diagnose based on symptoms alone.<\/p>\n
