BBC star Deborah James has shared a heartbreaking health update, confirming that she is now in hospice care and is spending her time surrounded by her family and friends.
The much-loved BBC star penned: "The tweet I never wanted to write. The time has come to say goodbye."I’m under hospice at home care, & I’m spending my time surrounded by my family. Please buy me a wine to see me out and raise vital funds." "My active care has stopped and I am now moved to hospice at home care, with my incredible family all around me and the focus is on making sure I’m not in pain and spending time with them.
Deborah went on: "In over 5 years of writing about how I thought it would be my final Christmas, how I wouldn’t see my 40th birthday nor see my kids go to secondary school - I never envisaged writing the one where I would actually say goodbye. "I have always over the years raised as much awareness and money for the charities that are closest to me. @cr_uk @royalmarsden @bowelcanceruk," she penned.
