Good bye to the tumour diary blog
The person started the blog back in 2002, after being diagnosed with brain cancer.
More and more people read the story of his development, but it came to an end, after the writer became too sick to continue.
"He movingly described his odyssey of chemotherapy and brain surgery, his marriage, the birth of a baby son last year, and a surge of hope -- quickly dashed -- that the brain tumour was in retreat.
But in a final posting on Thursday, Noble wrote: "This is my last diary. I have written it ahead of time because I knew there would be a point when I was not well enough to continue.
"That time has now come."
This is the great part of blogs, and something that is easily forgotten. It allows people to reach out, to share knowledge and to create value for others.
(The interesting thing is that while it was a reporter of BBC who ran the blog, I couldn't find the link to it)

Thanks for the info. It was posted as it was an article about a blog. I have been tricked :)

If I am not mistaken, it's not a blog but rather a series of diaries posted on the BBC website itself. This is the latest post:
