Stephen Sutton Admitted To Hospital
Cancer sufferer Stephen Sutton, who raised more than £3.22 milliion for the Teenage Cancer Trust, has been readmitted to hospital after developing breathing difficulties.
The 19-year-old, who is terminally ill, told his Facebook followers about his new readmission at Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
Although he said "there's no immediate panic" and that he is "currently quite stable". He explained: "I've still got the cough, then quite quickly developed a wheeze in my breathing and breathlessness upon any physical exertion."
His fundraising took off after he posted a picture of himself in the hospital last month, when he thought he was close to death.
Fortunately he recovered enough to be discharged on 2 May but last Sunday his illness led him back to hospital.
The teenager was diagnosed with bowel cancer and told it was incurable.
