  Louise Arthur was diagnosed in February 1999 as terminally ill with a malignant brain tumour. It was inoperable. She was then 28, had been married to Tim for 5 years: and they have a 4 year old daughter. After reading Ruth Picardie's book, Louise decided to write her diary - named Shadow Diary - on the web. She started in April , and Tim also contributed - occasionally - and showed what life was like for him, for their love together. By June 1999, the hits to the web site were running at 1000 a day: she started a column in the Daily Mail , and Channel 4 decided to do a documentary on her. On January 11, 2000, Louise Arthur died. This text contains selections from both Louise's and Tim's contributions to the Shadow Diary , but has also been written by Tim since her death, and includes samples of both Louise's earlier writing and her photographs.
