In 2016 journalist Deborah James (aka BowelBabe) was diagnosed with incurable bowel cancer. She vowed to share her battle and help find a cure. In five years, Dame Deborah has raised millions of pounds for the BowelBabe Fund for Cancer Research.Thanks to her inspirational work, radio and TV appearances, she’s helped countless people spot bowel cancer sooner and live longer, fuller lives.
Here, bowel cancer survivor Teresa Whitfield sends her emotional thanks to Dame Deborah for saving her life.The 52-year old marketing consultant lives in South Croydon with her husband Will, 48, and daughter Bethan, 14… “Dear Deborah, I remember having an upset stomach and blood in my poo on holiday in July 2018 and thinking, my body’s trying to tell me something. I put it down to dodgy food. But my poo didn’t look normal - more like undigested tomatoes - and I developed a pain on the left side of my abdomen.
I didn’t know what the symptoms of bowel cancer were. It didn’t even register with me. That October, I saw you raising awareness on the Lorraine show and the penny dropped like a stone.
You spoke about bowel cancer so openly and a feeling of impending doom washed over me. 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 felt reassured, but my symptoms got worse. “It’s one of those things,” she told me weeks later. “Your job is making you stressed.” I was told anxiety can cause IBS.
I did feel ill, tired and anxious. So I resigned from my job but I didn’t get better. “Would you like some anxiety tablets?” she asked.
