Things Cancer Made Me Say

Things Cancer Made Me Say

In 2017, just months after she was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer, Dame Deborah James began to share her experiences in her Sun column, Things Cancer Made Me Say. For five years, up until her death on June 28, 2022, the inspirational campaigner and mum-of-two gave an honest and uplifting, no holds barred account, showing the world how to live with incurable cancer. Her legacy now lives on in the lives she touched and helped save – and in her which has raised millions to help others. Working with her family, The Sun is determined to continue to raise awareness, channeling Deborah’s spirit, to help ensure others don’t have to face what she did. Stay tuned for all the latest updates from The Sun.
