Deborah James remained in high spirits despite her situation
(Picture: Deborah James)The inspirational podcast host, cancer campaigner, blogger and author Dame Deborah James posthumously releases her second book How To Live When You Could be Dead today.
Known as Bowel Babe on social media, the former deputy school teacher was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2016 aged 34. Despite being told she only had two years to live, the extraordinary woman campaigned tirelessly to raise awareness and money for six solid years. During that time, she raised more than £7 million and encouraged a record number of people to check for bowel cancer, as well becoming a co-host of BBC Radio 5 Live’s award-winning, lively podcast about living with cancer, You, Me and the Big C.
