Deborah continued with her lengthy caption, explaining that she has been working on the book for two years now.

“I wanted to share all my (hard-won!!) learning on how to have a positive mindset when we are faced with life’s biggest challenges,” she explained.

Deborah then went on to explain that the book was originally meant to be published in January 2023.

However, due to recent news that Deborah’s active care for bowel cancer has stopped, its publication date has been brought forward to 18 August 2022.

“It is still long after I’m flying high, but hopefully a little less longer for you to wait,” she wrote.

Deborah then went on to confirm that all royalties will go to her Bowelbabe fund. She also revealed that Penguin (the publisher) would donate £3 for every book sold to the fund too.
