It's been almost ten months since Dame Deborah James passed away after a lengthy five-year-battle with bowel cancer. Tonight, the BBC will air a new documentary on the late journalist who spent her final years campaigning to raise awareness about her tragic illness which she was diagnosed with in December 2016.
The documentary, which airs at 9pm, will explore an intimate insight into the last few months of Deborah's life as she openly shares the realities of what living with bowel cancer was like for her and her family. The emotional short film, which is narrated almost entirely by Deborah herself, will feature never-seen-before footage of personal moments with her loved ones, You Me and the big C podcasts, and voice notes she took during her cancer battle.
Before her death last year, the BBC podcast host relentlessly urged others to start checking for any signs of bowel cancer in their own bodies. Deborah kept her own blog BowelBabe where she posted regular updates throughout her cancer journey before she passed away on June 28, 2022 at age 40. Her family previously said in a statement that the inspirational cancer campaigner 'broke down barriers' and 'challenged taboos' about the condition.
Upon her passing, her family announced the news online with some final words from Deborah to her followers which read: "Find a life worth enjoying, take risks, love deeply, have no regrets and always, always have rebellious hope. And finally check your poo - it could just save your life".
