After posting last week about Ivan's final diary entry, you can imagine the shock today, on seeing this news 
:
BBC writer Ivan Noble dies at 37
I, like so many others, never knew Ivan personally, only through reading his column on the BBC website. And an inspiration for me, and for a little time, Jules. I remember Jules. reading the early entries whilst recovering from her first op, gaining comfort from the fact she wasn't alone in suffering from a tumour. Of course, like Ivan, we didn't know at the time that things would not, as we hoped, improve.
The pain is over, and he is free. All my heartfelt support and thoughts go to his family
