Dame Deborah James bids emotional goodbye to brother and says 'don't come back under any circumstances'

Dame Deborah James has bid an emotional goodbye to her brother as he heads off on holiday to the US.

The inspirational cancer campaigner, who was previously told by doctors she had just days to live, said she warned her brother 'not to come back under any circumstances'. She said he had been planning the trip 'for ages' and that she told him he had to go, the Mirror reports.

Deborah, 40, is currently receiving end-of-life care at home with her parents after battling bowel cancer. The mum-of-two has raised thousands of pounds for charity and helped raise awareness of symptoms.
