Adrian Sudbury has been 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 has two distinct types of the disease running at the same time. According to the medical literature he is the only person in the world to have this condition. As such, it has not been possible to offer Adrian a prognosis.
Here he shares his experiences of the disease and his treatment.Pictures and updates to follow.
After the 'bad news' I never thought for a second I would see my 27th birthday.
I think I am still living back in May, and time, what with the campaign, petition, the parties, general fun and now the illness, has just disappeared.
I'm not normally a big fan of birthdays but it would seem daft not to mark this one.
Let's face it, and this is a bit sad to actually write, but it's very likely to be my last.
Despite still feeling poorly my family and I are still going to have a fun day today.
The comments from all you have been incredible as well. I have asked Liam to actually do some work for a change and get publishing them! We had about 60 in one minute!
It is my birthday.
The door has not stopped being banged on by post men and couriers bringing me cards and presents.
It is incredible. Me and my parents have never known anything like it.
A little journalist joke as well. Being 27 now will throw every single hack who covers my story again in the coming weeks and months.
My stomach is making noises I have never heard before. The volume of the gurgling is deafening.
It seems to start off in my chest and then helter skelter round my stomach and intestines.
I was up at least four times in the night so again I just need to sleep through.
Dehydration is my current biggest battle but I have already knocked back two pints of orange cordial with ice.
I feel unsettled and generally unwell.
The district nurse has just been round and taken blood and I couldn't help temporarily feel a bit sorry for myself with my lot.
Don't worry - I have bucked my ideas up now.
I don't think there will be any booze today and there won't be excessive eating but I am determined to stay out of hospital.
It's just so difficult having a very limited immune system.
My family and friends who have all come down with this bug are making progress.
I seem to be staying the same or, if anything, getting worse.
Thanks for all the best wishes.
They mean a lot to me.
More later.

Happy birthday dear Adrian. I do hope you have a fantastic day my friend, and continue sticking the proverbial 2 fingers at the illness. You are an inspiration. You really have made me put my life and my pitiful "problems" into perspective! You ROCK.
Loads of love and stuff to you and yours on your very special day. I can only imagine how proud your family must be of you because without meaning to sound patronising, you make me very very proud and I don't "know" you really. I'm just one of the thousands that try and walk with you with every post.
Take care dear friend.

Hi Adrian
I wrote to you a while ago, and have been following the blog ever since, I meant to write before and ask when your birthday was, as I remember reading something from you that your birthday was in July. So Happy Birthday to you!!. It is also my 3 year olds birthday today, and seeing as though your stomach is playing up I'll make sure that I have some iced gems, chocolate teacakes and Igglepiggle cake for you.
Take care, have a good day, and maybe a beer or two when you're feeling a bit better.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Adrian.
Sorry you are still feeling below par, but hopefully the gurgling will stop soon. The trouble is, when you are already seriously ill, any bug is going to knock you back quite badly.
I hope you have a wonderful day and I am sure you will be thoroughly spoiled (which of course you deserve to be). You talk about not expecting to be here for this birthday, with all the love, prayers and good wishes from all over the world, you could very well be saying the same next St. Swithins day!!!
My love as always to you and your family.
Bless you

Your bravery astounds me every day,My mam was also brave when she had breast cancer which spread to her brain stem, she like you didn't want to suffer and to be honest she didn't her passsing was so peaceful and serene, i just wish every one when their time comes to have such a passing.
Just know adrian that you HAVE made such a positive impression on everyone you have touched with your story and with us all behind you, you can bet your bottom dollar that your campaign won't stop.
Wishing you peace and tranquility my friend

Have a good day today.....and tomorrow....and the day after......
Think you are entitled to feel a bit sorry with your lot, but knowing you (albeit only through this blog) it was only ever going to be a temporary downer. Enjoy today as much as your gurgling insides allow, and hope you get a good night's rest tonight.
Thinking about you on this special day and will raise a glass to you later - just in case you dont feel up to doing it yourself of course.

Donnas friends held a charity concert and raised £3000 for leukaemia research last friday. We had a great night and it was lovely to see everyone there remembering Donna.
Thanks to everybody involved, and our star "turns" Roger Davies, and Barry Sheerman.
I keep seeing you pop up all over the place, and was glad to hear you on 5 Live this week.

Happy Birthday Adrian. Hope you can stomach some cake and a few nice nibbles today. I bet you get some really unusual gifts, could you handle a stripper?!!!
As for the beer - have you tried diaralyte (sp??) It's good to replace salts etc lost when you have a stomach upset. Might perk you up a bit if they let you have it. I swear by it if I have a hangover lol. The blackcurrant one tastes best. Not as nice as a cold pint but hey ho!
Thinking of you daily and wishing you lots more good days over the coming months.

Dear Adrian
You truly are an inspirational guy. You have done a tremendous job to raise awareness of the vital necessity for more people to join the bone marrow register and the importance of reaching out to 6th formers. I read your blog often and it is hard not to feel sorry for you even though you do not feel sorry for yourself. You have brought a lot of people together despite the underlying sadness. Well done to you. Take Care.

I totally agree with every comment that has been said about you and your campaign. You are an inspiration.
I just had to take this opportunity of wishing you very best wishes on your special day.
Hope it doesn't rain! Enjoy!

Hi Adrian,
Happy Birthday!!
I have never posted to you before, but, today is a very special day for you and I wanted you to know that you have made more 'pen friends' and admirers that you will probably ever know. I have been reading your blog for the last three months or so and every day I log on to see how you are keeping. Sometimes I think I know more about you than my own family!
Your plight and dogged determination to keep going and not let your ilness beat you is amazing.
I have taken your campaign to heart and unfortunately due to a blood transfusion five years ago I cannot help, but, I have been persistant with friends and colleagues to donate blood and bone marrow.
I hope that you have a wonderful day with what only can be called an amazing family and wonderful circle of friends and I hope that you can manage some birthday cake :)
Love and warm wishes to you and all your family,

I hope you have a birthday fit for a real Hero. I get a strong feeling that you were put on this earth to make a big difference and that's what you're doing. And then there are people like me who may live to be 100 but may never have such meaning to their time on this beautiful planet. I take my hat off to you and know that you have inspired me and many others with your story.
Have a superb birthday and I hope your tummy troubles ease off so you can have a big slice of CAKE !! (the word CAKE must be said with teeth tightly clenched and a big cheesy grin on your face!!)

I'm not a real "churchy" kinda gal, but boy does that song ring true today! True, it may be harder to rejoice when your guts are rumbling, but I know you'll do your best. Party on, Sudders!

In a strange way, this might be a gift...so many of us know people who celebrated their last birthday not knowing it was, or lived their last days not knowing, and may have regretted not appreciating every moment for the gift that it is.
Reading your blog has made me (and so many others, I might guess) appreciate every moment more...so I guess you managed to give US a present. Thank you.
Wishing you all the best and that this, indeed, is the happiest of days for you.
