Tom went on to thank his wife, Kelsey, in the post, calling her his "rock".
He also told his children that he "fights" for them "every second of every day", before thanking his friends and family for their support and getting him through his "darkest days".

At the time, Tom said that it would be a tough battle, but that they were "going to beat" it.
A month after the diagnosis, Tom and his wife Kelsey welcomed their second child, a son called Bodhi.
They also have a daughter together, called Aurelia.
