My Video Diary Part 4
Adrian Sudbury was a reporter for both the Huddersfield Express and Chronicle Series and the Huddersfield Examiner. In November 2006 the 25-year-old was promoted to digital journalist, effectively editing the new-look Examiner website.
Just two days into his new role he became seriously ill and called in sick. A week later he drove himself to A&E and was eventually diagnosed with leukaemia.
It was then identified that he actually had two distinct types of the disease running at the same time. According to the medical literature he was the only person in the world to have this condition. As such, it was not possible to offer Adrian a prognosis.
Here he shared his experiences of the disease and his treatment up until his passing.
Ad,
Just had a look through your blog after The Toby emailed me. Its very impressive, i have no doubt you will be frighting off the broadsheets in a couple of months.
Take care
Declan
Hi
I also had a transplant for CML and AML. I did however start off with CML and did fairly well on Glivec but then developed secondary MDS which turned into AML. I had a transplant two years ago and am doing great apart from a horrible cold right now. You can access my diary on the Home Page of www.cmlsupport.org.uk
You are doing great.
All the best
Elizabeth
My thoughts are with you in this difficult time. I know you will be strong, unlike me?
Thank you for sharing your journey with us the media - through your illness, my thoughts are that you will make it because of your indomitable sprit. My very best wishes to you and your family and keep positive Adrian from Susan.
