Trolls suggest that teen cancer patient is 'duping' public with Stephen's Story
Teenage cancer patient Stephen Sutton, who has so far raised over £3m for the Teenage Cancer Trust, has faced trolls on twitter and Facebook who claim that he is 'duping' the public into giving money, after he was released from hospital.Sutton, who over the weekend completed another item on his bucket list by breaking a world record, replied to a Twitter message from one troll, saying that his cancer is 'still incurable', and signing off with a kiss.The troll, who seems to have deleted his Twitter account, said that 'lots feel duped' after Sutton 'left hospital'.
@Shaneobrmayo81 Sorry to disappoint you! So you know, I still have my cancer and it's still incurable, if that makes you feel less 'duped' x

On the Birmingham Mail's Facebook page, Sarah Hill said: “Am I the only one who thinks something is not quite right here? While I hope I am wrong it feels like we are being conned."One minute he tweets saying he is dying and won’t see the next day, then all of a sudden he is being released to go home. As I said, I hope I am wrong but I have a strange feeling about this.”Sutton was released from hospital on Friday, 2 May.
