Tom Parker is being given revolutionary treatment in Spain as he continues to battle the odds and take on his brain cancer.
The sick singer 'cannot wait' for The Wanted tour reunion this week and wants to take the the stage despite fighting for his life.
Tom has spent the past week in a private hospital in the hope to become fit enough for his band's comeback shows.
The 33-year-old jetted off for treatment after previously saying how shocked he was by the lack of help and funding for cancer patients in the UK.
Tom - who has a daughter Aurelia, two, and son Bodhi, 11 months - was initially told he had a grade four glioblastoma and was given a life expectancy of 12 to 18 months.
But he hopes the revolutionary £4,000 a week treatment in Spain can swings things in his favour.
The help the singer is now receiving at a private facility include time in an oxygen machine, massages and a special diet.
Tom hopes to be well enough to perform for fans on the bands tour which starts this Thursday.
A source said: “Tom has been vocal that he doesn’t think the options available in Britain are perfect so he’s trying elsewhere.
“The tour means so much to him, he cannot wait.
"The cancer treatment he goes through takes it out of him so it’s been good to go abroad and relax.”
In October 2020, Tom revealed he had an inoperable stage 4 glioblastoma, which doctors described as “the worst case scenario”.
However, after six rounds of chemo and 30 radiotherapy sessions the singers outlook became more positive as he updated fans.
Speaking about his illness last year, Tom expressed a goal to be cancer free by March.
"You’ll always be classed as terminal," the star said during his TV documentary Inside My Head.
"They give you 12 to 18months of survival. But that’s the general statistics. Everyone we’ve spoken to has been way, way beyond that.
"Now, we’re aiming to be cancer free by March. That’s the aim. This disease is always there.
"You might have residual cells but just not active. So, we’ll just carry on, just crack on and see where we get to.
