" They didn't want to pussyfoot around it [cancer], They didn't want to use euphemistic Language - They wanted to call it for what it was, " says Livesey.

" But at The same time, Debs never dialled down The fun. If you looked at her Social Media - if She wasn't dancing in The Street , or singing, She was laughing in The Face of cancer. "

James was a patient at The Royal Marsden hospital, where She underwent More Than a dozen operations and multiple rounds of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. She also received experimental cancer treatment.

It was while in an anaesthetic daze following one operation that She ordered a poo costume online. Although it had been designed for a six-year-old, She would wear it on her Social Media feeds and while recording her podcast to raise awareness about bowel cancer.

" We need to break The poo taboo, " She Said . " People are embarrassed, They don't want to talk about poo, but let's face it, we All do it. "

BBC presenter Rachel Burden , who interviewed James many times, says that as well as caring passionately about supporting others dealing with cancer, James was vibrant, articulate and full of fun.

" What struck me most was how She Always lived her best life, whether that was dancing At Home with her kids, or cracking jokes from a hospital Bed - Always smiling, Always beautiful, Always truthful, " Burden says.

" She has taught us how To Live and How To die, never giving up on The joy She found in The love for her friends and family. She was immense. "

James' irreverent approach gave her wide appeal - She had huge numbers of followers - More Than 100K on Twitter and almost as Big A following on Instagram - and had campaigned with A Number of national charities including Bowel Cancer UK and Cancer Research UK.

She went on to Set Up The - named After Her online handle - to fund research into personalised medicine for cancer patients, and to support campaigns to raise awareness of bowel cancer.

" She took a stage three bowel cancer diagnosis and turned it into an incredible force for good, " says Genevieve Edwards of Bowel Cancer UK.

A keen runner, James described herself as loving fashion, make-up and jewellery.

" She was Absolutely Not defined by her cancer, " says Dr Philippa Kaye, a GP and fellow bowel cancer patient who was a friend of James.

" Mother, campaigner, influencer, charity fundraiser, runner, make-up Lover - All of those things made up Deborah, not just cancer. "

James wrote a book, F*** You Cancer: How To face The Big C , live your life and still be yourself which was published in 2018, and had planned to release another, How To Live When You Could Be Dead.

" I've got some ends to tie up, " James said on The Final part of You, Me and The Big C , " which include wondering if my book will ever be published".

Within days of an announcement that publication would be brought forward, James' second book was topping The Amazon bestsellers list through pre-orders.
