Ivan Noble
Ivan was a BBC journalist who has been writing about his battle with a brain tumour since he was diagnosed in 2002. Reading his columns has always been a strange experience; today I read his last one knowing that he was already dead, and it seems that at the time he wrote it, he knew he wouldn’t be doing any more. Certainly, he had made the choice not to write any more columns, but he wasn’t expecting to be well enough to write another one again.
It is difficult to be excited about anything in life when you know there’s a wife and two children who just lost their father.
