In 2016 journalist Deborah James was diagnosed with incurable bowel cancer. She vowed to share her battle and help find a cure.
It took every bone of strength in my body to pick up the phone and call the doctor. Something didn’t feel right, but she didn’t listen. She said: “Don’t worry about it, you’re young, fit and healthy.” I didn’t have enough symptoms to trigger NHS intervention - their treatment was six weeks of pile cream. Thankfully, I had private healthcare and got referred for tests. Within three weeks I was diagnosed with bowel cancer aged 49.

They removed it, and 18 lymph nodes, during surgery. As it’d spread to one lymph node, it was now stage three. I needed six months of chemotherapy to 'mop up' any stray nasties.
