Made in Chelsea star Fabian Bolin 28, has written a frank and personal blog about his battle with leukaemia

Mr Bolin was diagnosed with leukaemia on 1st July this year, and has been receiving chemotherapy. He has been told the treatment will wreck his immune system and leave him infertile

He has since starred in Swedish film Snabba Cash in 2010 (released internationally as Easy Money).

In his blog, he wrote: ‘I feel so utterly sad and confused right now.

‘I feel like it’s unfair that I should have to go through this hell of a treatment, after fighting so hard to reach this stage in life and be on the cusp of fulfilling my acting dreams.

‘But, I will not give up; I’m going to push myself through this in order to be able to continue to live the life that I love so much!’

The blog, which he wrote in English and Swedish, became viral after it was picked up by the Swedish media.

The Facebook post which links to his first blog post has now been shared almost 12,700 times and has received more than 26,200 likes.

In his second post, he describes his worry over beginning cancer treatment.

He said: ‘This morning has been filled with blood tests, dental checks (to prevent infections), meetings with specialist doctors, nurses, nutritionists and physiologists who have tried to inform and prepare me for the nightmare I am now stepping into.

On July 7th, Mr Bolin was discharged from hospital, but has to return for check ups and chemotherapy appointments. He is planning to move in with his mother in central Stockholm

‘I feel so afraid and worried for my life right now. I don’t feel like I deserve to die just yet, I have so much more to do and so many goals to fulfill,' Mr Bolin wrote on his blog. He is pictured before his diagnosis

‘I keep asking myself "Why me out of all people?" I don’t deserve this and nobody else for that matter,’ he added. He is pictured again before his leukaemia diagnosis

‘Not only will I be constantly having cell toxins running through my blood, but I am to take over 50 pills on a daily basis, in order to survive.

‘I feel so afraid and worried for my life right now. I don’t feel like I deserve to die just yet, I have so much more to do and so many goals to fulfill.

Fabian Bolin, 28, who is battling leukaemia

The chemotherapy treatment will wreck his immune system and leave him infertile, doctors have said.

‘My last healthy sons and daughters are now stored away for me and my future special one, should I make it through this,’ he writes.

In his latest post he said he has now been allowed to leave hospital, returning for check ups and chemotherapy appointments.

He plans to move in with his mother in central Stockholm, something he says he would not have previously considered.

He wrote: 'This is something I never saw myself doing again; to move home.

‘I’ve always seen myself as an adventurer and conqueror with no fear on my mind, but right now I couldn’t feel a stronger need to be safe with the people that love me the most, my parents.’

He attaches a picture of him signing out for hospital, as well as another of his mother holding him as a baby.

He signs off his blog post with the news that tomorrow he will return to hospital to find out how his body is reacting to the treatment.
