John Clarke has opened up about the grief he and his late wife Marian Finucane suffered when their daughter Sinead died of cancer, and his own diagnosis with the disease
John Clarke, husband to the late Marian Finucane, has revealed that he has been diagnosed with cancer.
"I am 87, I'm a walking pill is the only thing I can tell you," he told Miriam when she asked him how he was doing. I never thought I would get to 30, I had a particular lifestyle that was not conducive to longevity, I smoked like a train, still do, and plan on continuing to do so - not a plug for the tobacco companies, but that is what I do."
In it, he opened up about the grief he and Marian suffered when their daughter Sinead died of cancer."Sinead's death, from my perspective, Marians and Sinead's of course, was a tragedy. She got leukaemia ... she was nine... and for some reason I was the only one who matched her for a bone marrow transplant" he told Miriam.
