Detroit photographer Vuhlandes diagnosed with leukemia
April 12, 2024
Detroit, MI - Detroit-raised photographer Vuhlandes [29] is known for his authenticity in capturing the realities of Detroit’s west side, his home since he was 10. He maintains authenticity in the face of struggle in recent social media posts announcing his diagnosis with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). In a YouTube video posted April 1, Vuhlandes, who was featured in Hour Detroit in 2015, explains that he began to experience unusual back and stomach pains while fasting for Ramadan. When the pain became severe, he was taken to the ER, where doctors discovered he had an extremely high white blood cell count. After many more tests, including a bone marrow biopsy, he was diagnosed on March 17 with ALL, an aggressive cancer of the blood and bone marrow. His friend, Sam Sklar, created a GoFundMe to help offset medical expenses and costs of living as Vuhlandes goes through treatment. Sklar explains in the GoFundMe post that treatment, including chemotherapy, will likely take 3 years, the heaviest treatment occurring during the first year. The self-taught photographer has always had a talent for finding beauty in a bleak situation. His work does not shy away from depicting the gun violence and deterioration of the neighborhood he grew up in, while still conveying a celebration of home.

Leeway’s Eddie Sutton is entering hospice care
April 5, 2024
Leeway vocalist Eddie Sutton has entered hospice care, but despite his Stage 3 Adenocarcinoma cancer diagnosis, he is still fighting back. The hardcore icon was initially diagnosed with cancer in 2021 and transitioned to a hospice center in Long Island, NY, at the end of last month following his participation in a clinical trial. Sutton shares on social media: “I’ve now been in hospice care for about 6 days and I’m still trying to prove the professionals wrong and try to keep hope alive. The problem is my appetite….as much as I want to eat and crave so many foods I just can’t seem to swallow it or the smell becomes nauseating, to me. It’s quite a torture….try to imagine wanting to eat but your taste buds make it taste different or there’s something in the food that makes you feel sick. I have to rely on the same things; Ensure nutritional drinks and fruit cups to supplement whatever I can stomach and even that is minimal because my stomach muscle is so infantly small. I’m still fighting folks I’m not stopping.”
