Robin: Titanic has helped save my life
'How my obsession with the Titanic has helped save my life.'
Story by Robin Gibb:
www.dailymail.co.uk
 RJ with his father Robin Gibb at their home in Oxfordshire
Although no official family statements have been made lately British media keep reporting about Robin´s health etc.
According to Express Robin´s wife Dwina has reported: he has undergone an eight-week course of gruelling treatment but he is getting stronger by the day and hopes to get back to his charity work within months. He is doing brilliantly. He feels good and he does not have any pain. He really is fantastic. He is determined to be at the unveiling of the Bomber Command Memorial in June and I am sure he will be there.
And according to spokesman and friend of the family Mick Garbutt: Robin is getting the best possible care and he is looking forward to attending the launch of his new classical composition in early April. He is receiving regular chemotherapy and fighting hard. He is also heading home to be with his family at every possible opportunity as that's where he feels comfortable, but the reality is that he is very unwell.

Robin backs new fight to honour bomber command
Robin sent a message of support some days ago to campaigners with a new initiative to fund a £7million Bomber Command Memorial.
He had hoped to be present with Olympic athlete Dame Kelly Holmes and fund-raiser Jim Dooley for the launch of the latest stage of the campaign he has spearheaded.
However he had to stay away on doctor's orders. In a message, he said: "Due to my recovery treatment I cannot be there today but rest assured my heart and mind are with you."
The scheme will see a number of new fund-raising activities to find the last sums needed for the monument to 55,573 men of Bomber Command who died in the Second World War.
