Former BBC presenter Deborah James left her fans emotional as she shared comparison pictures of herself in the same place but five years apart.
Deborah, 40, has vowed that she will “still live whilst dying” as she shared her memories of a night with her husband Sebastien Bowen at Glyndebourne opera house.
For their Saturday night out, Deborah got dressed up as the couple watched La Boheme at the venue, with Deborah telling fans she was “trying to see a few of her favourites one last time”.
She looked gorgeous as she shared two snaps of herself next to her each other as she attended the opera house for the date.
Deborah wrote: “At that point, I was seven months into my diagnosis and once again just trying to make the most of not knowing what lay ahead.”
She followed up the post with another comparison picture, showing her and her husband in 2017 and now, leaving fans teary-eyed.
Sharing the snaps, Deborah joked: “Seb still looking dapper in his black tie!
“I can’t believe I was last here five years ago this week – scared, newly diagnosed, just trying to do the same as I’m doing now – taking things one day at a time!”
However, trying to keep it real with her followers, Deborah also added: “But be under no illusion! I’m knackered! I’ve worked out it takes me longer to get ready and organised to go than the time I actually last anywhere!
“Getting dressed is tiring, getting meds organised is tiring, the extra moving, the travel, the wondering what mood your stomach is in – it’s all real!
“But then the feeling of making it to something you didn’t think possible, having put makeup on, donning new shoes, with the sunshine smiling – well then it’s all worth it!
“It’s a kind of cheeky ‘still living whilst dying’ two fingers up to it all.”
The presenter was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer in December 2016 but has remained determined to keep enjoying her life.
She has raised a whopping £6.7million for Cancer Research UK in just a month after starting her end of life car back in May.
