Dame Deborah James is ‘scared to fall asleep’ and doesn’t know how long she’s got to live

OHMYGOSSIP — Dame Deborah James doesn’t know how long she’s “got left” to live.
The 40-year-old podcaster and blogger moved to end of life care earlier this month after battling bowel cancer since 2016, and admitted she is feeling “exhausted”.
She told The Sun newspaper: “The truth is, I don’t know how long I’ve got left. I don’t feel like I’m on my deathbed.
“I’m not planning on dying anytime soon but it’s just so unpredictable.
“I’m scared to fall asleep and that’s one of the biggest reasons I’m so tired. I am scared to go to sleep.”
Deborah is under the care of a hospice team and her family at her parents’ home, and while she’s in more discomfort than pain, she was dealing with stomach problems over the weekend.
She added: “It’s ironic, I’ve spent the last five years talking about poo, and breaking the poo taboo. It’s typical I suffer with a s*** stomach now.
“I think my family are knackered, they have all been incredible – going above and beyond to look after me and nurse me.
“What I have seen from them in the last two weeks is true love, deep love. It’s overwhelming. They have all been amazing.”
She explained that her family are under a “huge” amount of pressure as she “can’t do anything anymore without their help”.
However, she still has good days among the bad, and she is making sure she doesn’t let her children Eloise, 12, and 14-year-old Hugo – whom she shares with husband Sebastian Bowen – see her at her worst.
She said: “I feel very strongly that I don’t want my kids to see me agitated and distressed.
“I want to make sure they see me when I’m having a good day.”
