Deborah’s final wish was for a fund in her name to raise money for projects close to her heart, including clinical trials, personalised medicine and awareness campaigns, with links to charities including Cancer Research UK, Bowel Cancer UK and the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. “Before I die, the one thing I knew I wanted to do was set up a fund that can continue working on things that gave me life,” she said. In her last You, Me and the Big C podcast, with the show’s producer, Mike Holt, broadcast on 10 May, Deborah talked about how the lack of community care meant that she was deprived of three of her final weeks at home, but also about how the podcast had given her purpose and strength. She also talked to her oncologist during the same recording, who applauded her “ tremendous strength of mind”, bringing her to tears. A month later, she was asking the Olympian athlete Steve Parry, who had a testicle removed as part of his treatment, if “double the amount comes out or half” when he was having sex, to uproarious laughter in the studio. From its first episode in March 2018, frankness, honesty and humour were the unique selling points of the show, and Deborah, diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer in December 2016, was its outrageous heart. In the last five years of her life, Deborah James, who has died aged 40 from cancer, never stopped talking about life as worth living.
