In the News
More than £1m has been donated to the Just Giving page of podcast host Deborah James, who has received an outpouring of public support since revealing she is receiving hospice-at-home care for her bowel cancer.
The popular presenter of the BBC podcast You, Me And The Big C was diagnosed with the condition in 2016 and has regularly kept her 300,000 followers updated with candid accounts of her treatment.
Totally selfless and amazing lady . I’m sure you will all join me in sending her love
Watching this lady on tv with her cheerful demeanour in the face of daily suffering, has often had me in tears. I had really hoped her positive attitude would see her through this terrible disease but she appears to be meeting her end the same way she lived through the last six years, with humour, truth, bravery and acceptance. May her life go on having meaning even when she is gone through the massive contribution she has made to awareness and charity.
God Bless her all the way.A selfless and noble soul. A light in the darkness.
We need more of these lovely people not less. She's an inspiration, her bravery and honesty will no doubt inspire many. Cancer is such an awful disease.
Midnightflower and it was an embarrassing subject bowels !!! And checking your poo but she made it ok to talk about
Amazing lady I can not say enough how I feel she is amazing
Aenurse1 It's a big killer that we need to be brave and talk about. Poo isn't nice but if it saves your life then its certainly worth it. Love that she's now a dame! She deserves it.
It is now over 4 million and she is being given a damehood too. I had never actually heard of her before this but she is an incredible woman.
This has really touched me as I have just been diagnosed with a rare type of cancer and waiting to have part of my stomach removed, she is one brave and amazing women and deserves being awarded a Dame, she's now reach over 4 million...fantastic. 
Both my parents died from bowel cancer so her story touches me more so than others would as I can relate somewhat. I will have to have earlier check ups than typical for bowel cancer as my risk is now increased.
It's not glamorous but it is so important to be be aware of symptoms. My dad received a postal screening kit...didnt do it.... & his cancer outcome may have been completely different if he had. My mum also also ignored symptoms for a long time.
My father in law who also had bowel cancer his only symptom was mild pain after eating, he only mentioned it to dr in passing..long story short his cancer was caught early. A op & a few months of chemo & hes cancer free for 7 years now. Early detection is everything!
I don't think I know this lady but she sounds like a lovely beautiful person battling a very horrible disease. I try to donate to Bowel cancer UK on a monthly basis as I know how vague and ghastly bowel cancer can be.
