James has said that her symptoms began with weight loss, passing blood, going to the toilet more regularly than normal, and feeling tired.

Deborah James: The bowel cancer campaigner says goodbye (The Independent)

'Nobody knows how long I've got left,' the podcast host and author says.

She shared the personal stories of patients who were affected by tests and treatments being cancelled as a result of the lockdown in BBC Panorama’s Britain’s Cancer Crisis documentary, which was released on 6 July 2020. The tumour also had a BRAF mutation, “the rarest and most hardest to treat due to its unresponsiveness to [chemotherapy], aggressive make up or lack of ‘wonder’ immunotherapy cure”, she wrote. James began co-presenting You, Me and the Big C in 2018. She is beloved for her sincere and candid approach to talking about her experience of living with the disease. Before she became an outspoken campaigner and fundraiser for cancer treatment and awareness, James was a deputy teacher. In a post on her social media channels, she said: “The time has come to say goodbye.”

Speaking in an interview, the 40-year-old star of acclaimed podcast 'You, Me and the Big C', thanked everyone for their generosity in donating to her cancer ...

I have anxiety, but this is a different level altogether in terms of trauma and I think I know it will get easier, and I know that I got support in place to help me with that. I have always over the years raised as much awareness and money for the charities that are closest to me. I don't really have a choice with that but I'm lucky to be able to do it as an out-patient rather than an in-patient.' To realise in a sudden split moment that you are unlikely to see the next day is utterly heartbreaking. She explained having a 'quick replacement operation' had turned into a 'nightmare', adding: 'I'm now at the mercy of hopefully some super 'magic medicine miracle' - but then I always have been, and any chance is a chance right? (All the memories came flooding back!) - but this year however I had to get some help going round the trail and borrowed a wheelchair. The surgery was a success and the cancer became inactive. To realise in a sudden split moment that you are unlikely to see the next day is utterly heartbreaking. I have always over the years raised as much awareness and money for the charities that are closest to me. Speaking to the BBC on Tuesday, Ms James - who has incurable bowel cancer - said that setting up a fund towards cancer treatments had been something she had always wanted to do. Speaking in an interview, she said learning about the huge number of donations to 'Bowelbabe Fund for Cancer Research UK' made her feel 'utterly loved' and like everyone is 'in at the end together' to make a difference. We know that we have the skills and the passion in the UK to do so.
