      @@linzieloo1 you clearly don’t understand grief. Especially when it’s a parent grieving. No matter how long it’s been since their baby passed, it will always hurt and it can take years to adjust to life without them. Sure they can adjust, but the pain will never leave them. Whether it’s a year, 20 years, 50 years… they will always be longing for their child to come back.

    So sad! I was diagnosed with Clear Cell Renal Carcinoma during the height of the pandemic. I had not been feeling well for a while and was having pain and trouble peeing. I went to the hospital repeatedly only to be told ...how would I know if I was sick if I wasn't a Doctor? I said I know my body and there is something wrong, could you please do a CT scan or some kind of test. Nope. Can't you see we are overrun with covid patients and don't have time for hypochondriacs! Finally I went to another hospital and demanded that I see a Doctor and have a scan. I told them I understand that there is a pandemic but I am not leaving until I get some tests ... and I was told they would call the police. I said please do and I will be calling the local news station at the same time. They finally relented and gave me a CT scan and an MRI. I found out I was in the second stage of Renal Cancer and had a 5 inch tumor in my right kidney and needed imediate surgery. Which took another 4 months! I finally had my surgery and a large portion of my right kidney removed. My message is know your body and don't ignore what it is telling you, and most importantly, advocate for yourself because nobody else is going to. So many people fall through the cracks in the health care system needlessly and a lot of people die because they were perceived as being a nuisance or dramatic. Sad but true. My heart goes out to her family ✌❤

I found blood in my poo often, doctors and hospitals won't do anything, luckily it's cleared, but it will be back no doubt, next week or few weeks or next week, one time was bleeding for bout 2-3weeks everyday, that was 6-8yrs ago. Feel sorry in a way for hospitals and doctors, nurses, they can only do so much but sometimes even just a simple diagnosis is impossible to get for some of us. Takes years

You're just an awesome person all around, and I pray that in the next life that you are healthy, joyful, and full of life as you were in this life. May you rest peacefully in the arms of the Almighty father and his incredible angels.

      This makes no sense, why England? You know Rupert Murdoch is Australian-American and owns the Fox Corporation, The Wall St Journal and other American news companies, it's not just the English who buy his papers, sadly. That aside, is it appropriate for you to be calling her a sell-out in these comments, where's your compassion? It's a woman talking about her dead daughter, kinda harsh to be bad mouthing her.

      Like it or not, The Sun is one of the most popular newspapers in the UK.Having this platform, meant that Deborah could reach as wide an audience as possible with her awareness raising activities - highlighting early signs of cancer, which almost certainly saved lives. She was offered the opportunity to use the publication for something good and she did. She achieved great things and her impact is being felt even though she is no longer here.

    • @linzieloo1

    An amazing woman, who was so selfless. Her story touched my heart, especially since I had followed it not long after my dad's death from complications from bowel cancer in March 2022. Whilst not a terminal diagnosis, unlike Deborah's, it made her story that little more personal to me. I hope her family can find comfort from Deborah's strength and her eagerness to push boundries and how she is still giving people tye courage to talk about their poo. Rest in paradise, Deborah. 🤍
