  • Barry Jones, 45, thought he was just getting old but he was diagnosed with a devastating illness and told he has around two years left to live

The article from the Daily Record discusses the story of a father named Mark Freeman, who initially dismissed symptoms of tiredness and breathlessness as signs of aging or poor fitness. Despite his active lifestyle, Mark's condition deteriorated, leading to a diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) after he collapsed. His symptoms included severe fatigue, breathlessness, and eventually, visible signs like bruising and a rash. Mark underwent intensive chemotherapy, which was successful, but he now lives with the fear of relapse. The article highlights the importance of not ignoring persistent symptoms and encourages others to seek medical advice early, emphasizing that AML can affect anyone regardless of their fitness level.
