For those of you who might not live in England, Deborah James is a BBC reporter who documents her journey with cancer. After a long battle, the reporter recently announced that her bowel cancer is back and is moving into hospice at-home care. “Nobody knows how long I’ve got left but I’m not able to walk, I’m sleeping most of the days, and most things I took for granted are pipe dreams,” the Instagram post read. “I know we have left no stone unturned.”
The royals took to Twitter to write James a personal message. “Every now and then, someone captures the heart of the nation with their zest for life & tenacious desire to give back to society. @bowelbabe is one of those special people. Her tireless efforts to raise awareness of bowel cancer & end the stigma of treatment are inspiring,” the royals said on Twitter. “We are so sad to hear her recent update but pleased to support the [Bowelbabe Fund], which will benefit the [The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust] among others. Deborah, our thoughts are with you, your family and your friends. Thank you for giving hope to so many who are living with cancer. W & C.”
