Deborah James' wish for her younger self - and sweet way she inspired her students

Deborah James has revealed her wish for her younger self and how she inspired her students - as shared in her posthumous book published on Thursday following her death earlier this summer. Dame Deborah, also known by her social media handle Bowel Babe, died on June 28 at the age of 40 after suffering from bowel cancer for five years.

In How to Live When You Could Be Dead, which follows her 2018 debut book F*** You Cancer: How To Face The Big C, Live Your Life And Still Be Yourself, the podcast host tells her courageous story of living with terminal cancer and how developing a positive mindset was key to enabling her to cope with her diagnosis.
