I READ with great interest your article on Fred Dibnah. I received some very bad news myself last week.

I too have had chemotherapy and finally a bone marrow transplant last October in a battle to beat acute myeloid leukaemia.

Unfortunately I relapsed and am now learning to deal with the thought that with positive thinking and the determination to carry on regardless and live a normal life as possible.

Please could you pass on my thoughts to Fred and and carry on drinking the coffee and Guinness and also I believe kiwi fruit is good for you too.
