The cancer campaigner, blogger, broadcaster and former teacher, Dame Deborah James, has died aged 40. She had been receiving end-of-life care for bowel cancer at home and had raised millions for cancer research. She hosted the BBC podcast 'You, Me and the Big C' and was given a damehood in May in recognition of her fundraising. Today's Amol Rajan speaks to BBC News presenter George Alagiah, who is living with bowel cancer, about Dame Deborah.
