Harry says he is trying to remain positive every day.
A 'fit and healthy' young man who had 'never been sick' was given just weeks to live after finding purple spots on his chest in the shower.
His GP sent him for blood tests at his request, and after a day of colleagues saying he'd lost weight and gone white, he found "10 missed calls from different consultants". They'd managed to get through to his mum who called Harry "in a wee bit of a panic" telling him to call the hospital. He'd had been in hospital for two weeks before results from a bone marrow sample, taken from his pelvis, showed exactly what he had. But the consultant wanted to wait two more days before telling him, so his family could be present for the news.
Another treatment sent Harry's heart rate "extremely high", enough to put him on stroke alert. Harry said: "I lay in bed at one stage for like three weeks and didn't move because it was just dreadful." He added: "I'm not sure where I got it from, but I just changed. A click went and I thought, 'I can mope about and let it ruin me and take over and not be here in however long', and I was like, 'No, that's not going to happen, I'm going to make sure I'm in a good headspace, think positively, be strong about it all, try and raise awareness'. Because I knew nothing about it myself, my friends knew nothing about it, a lot of people my age knew nothing about it.
