Ian Noble

Hello Colleagues,

I normally write or post comment in the mental health forum as that is my speciality, however a life story I had been following for quite some time recently came to an end and while I did point my local colleagues to the website I forgot about everyone on Allnurses.com :rolleyes: .

Ian Noble was a science and technology writer for the BBC and was diagnosed with an aggressive brain malignancy in August 2002. I suppose as a coping mechanism he started an online diary of his trials and tribulations along the way until he died in January this year. The online diary has become an icon of human struggle against the ultimate fear.

I would recommend anyone involved in oncology read the diary from start to finish, and if you feel it appropriate to point patients in the direction of the web address. The diary is available at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4211475.stm

regards StuPer

PS I checked the previous threads and could find no mention of this, if I missed something I apologise for re-posting.

Ian Noble was an amazing character, and his diaries online have been helpful to many. Along with John Diamond http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1198541.stm they have made cancer a subject that can be talked about again, and many people have benefitted by their bravery and honesty.
