What has Kelsey Hardwick said about her husband’s brain tumour diagnosis?
On October 12, 2020 Tom revealed he been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour (stage 4 glioblastoma).
Kelsey was not allowed to be by his side because of coronavirus rules, and Tom was alone when he was told the devastating news.
In an interview with OK! Magazine, she said: “It has been a crazy six weeks. We had an inkling that something was wrong in July, but we never could have imagined it was this.”
Tom suffered a seizure in July 2020 and took himself to A&E where he was put on a waiting list for an MRI scan.
Six weeks later he had another more serious seizure during a family trip to Norwich and was rushed to hospital.
The average life expectancy for his illness ranges from between three months to 18 months from the time of diagnosis but Tom decided not to ask for a prognosis.
