'Best news' for baby Harri Stickler's family as he receives transplant

The family of a baby who was diagnosed with leukaemia said he has received a successful transplant.

Harri Stickler was given the life-changing diagnosis at six months old.

His mother Bethan Morgan, from Aberdare, took Harri to the GP with some swelling under his eye. He was diagnosed with cancer just days later.

At the end of last year, the family began appealing for people to join the bone marrow register.

Harri underwent a course of chemotherapy and then was able to receive a transplant.
