A journalist who had his bone marrow transplant broadcast on the internet after being diagnosed with a unique form of leukaemia has been given the all clear.

Adrian Sudbury, from the Huddersfield Daily Examiner, underwent treatment earlier this year and wrote about his experiences of the disease in a blog.

He had been diagnosed with two distinct types of the disease, Acute Myeloid Leukaemia and a second chronic form, running at the same time - thought never to have been seen before.

And he has now revealed that new tests have shown no sign of either form of leukaemia.

He told holdthefrontpage: "I'm feeling much better.

"It's a really strange mix of emotions, but there is a huge sense of relief and all the dark thoughts have temporarily disappeared."

Adrian, (26), underwent a bone marrow transplant - which was videoed and posted on his blog - after two cycles of chemotherapy failed to have an effect.

He then spent five weeks in isolation and found the experience difficult both physically and psychologically, but writing his blog for the Examiner website helped him get through it.

Throughout most of the blog he managed to remain upbeat, and hoped it would encourage more donors to come forward.

But he also bravely wrote about his dark days, and the fact that despite the all-clear, life would never be the same. The effects of chemotherapy means he can never have children naturally and his life expectancy has been cut.

He said: "I started the blog as a selfish thing to keep me distracted and as a way of expressing some difficult feelings, as well as feeling that I was still contributing to the Examiner.

"I thought long and hard about writing about the darker side of the whole treatment, but my grandma convinced me that to give an accurate portrayal I'd got to be truthful about everything I'd gone through.

"It was lovely having the distraction (of the blog) but it is nice that it is coming to an end and there is some journalistic closure."
