However, his change in fortunes appears to have riled some people, who are alleging Sutton misrepresented the severity of his situation.
A dissatisfied follower tweeted at former footballer Stan Collymore - one of several famous faces to lend their name to Sutton's fundraising campaign - complaining about the turn of events.
"Quick question Stan," it read. "That kid you raised 1000s for left hospital how'd that happen? Lots feel duped."
Similarly, on the Birmingham Mail's Facebook page, another added: "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.
British band Coldplay posted this picture to support Stephen Sutton's campaign.
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 quick to reply, tweeting: "Sorry to disappoint you! So you know, I still have my cancer and it's incurable, if that makes you feel less 'duped' x"
@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
Following the news he was leaving hospital last week, Sutton posted a message on Facebook about his "remarkable" recovery.
"This extra period of time I now have feels like a gift, one that I'm determined to use productively," he said. "I'll probably be straight back to doing some crazy stuff/events/etc soon, but for now, it just feels great to be home!!"
He has since tweeted the following regarding his response:
RE the troll tweet I replied to yesterday, I really didn't expect the response to get so much exposure
I just gave a quick response, thought nothing of it and was (and still am) completely unaffected by it
Trolls and cynics exist. It's a shame. But just try not to retaliate too aggressively or get too riled...
...Like I've said before: On the whole people are 'good', lets concentrate on that :)
