She said that health professionals "wanted [her] having 10 to 12 cycles of chemotherapy and it was her best chance of survival, but she told him that "nobody with brain cancer has managed to get all of it".
The former Miss UK, who had already removed a tumor from her brain, said that even though she "knows[s] using cannabis means that I could be put in prison (…) I really believe that this is the only chance I have to survive. "
Parker said she would prefer her hair not to fall – a common side effect of chemotherapy – and she also does not want her "face to be burned by radiation therapy".
"I train every day, run a model academy and a nutrition company, and I do not want cancer to affect all that," she told the Mirror.

According to the American Cancer Society, no studies have been conducted to determine the impact of marijuana or hemp oil on humans. However, scientists have recently reported "that THC and other cannabinoids such as CBD slow their growth and / or cause the death of certain types of cancer cells developing in laboratory cans".
The model said, "Cannabis has helped many other people with cancer, I'm willing to believe it too, I can not imagine that a judge would sentence a girl for using cannabis to save her. It's a risk that I'm ready to take. "
