    Have been following her on Instagram for quite a while now, such an inspiration and lovely person who has done so much to raise awareness of bowel cancer. Her legacy will live long.

    People like her are truly beyond the normal, they take news that knock many for six and not only say you aren't beating me but also lead the fight for others.

    I lost my grandma to bowel cancer so I have seen what an absolute nightmare it can be to deal with on a daily basis.

    For Deborah James to have managed to do so much and raise awareness whilst fighting it is truly inspirational.

    RIP.

    Such a courageous young woman and I'm actually ashamed at how cowardly I am in talking about things like terminal illness, cancer as I cant seem to get past the unfairness of it, how ruthless and indiscriminate it is how horrible it is for her parents, husband, friends and children. 

    Rest in peace Dame Deborah
