bowelbabe : Most liked Posts

Clinically vulnerable when it suits her. Now now BB before you call me a troll I'm not.

but if you were CV you would not be out getting your nails done, or off out choosing jewellery or off out in Harrods (which is always crazy busy)

Being CV that despite you wanting to do those things for your mental health you can't and shouldn't and would respect that.

Absolutely zero respect given to all those nurses and consultants who keep her safe.

Monique looks SO much better after having that op. I can't believe they were going to let her liver failure continue! Imagine how sick she would be now if she hadn't had had that family friend intervene!?

Take away cancer, she’s just not pleasant, there I said it. She a total attention seeker, narcissistic drama Queen.

Has anyone seen Moniques new post? I cannot get over the level of incompetence going on with her care. It's disgusting.

Ah right so she’s had her day out and now she’s back in her room. Don’t worry folks, her team have a plan in place for later in the week. (I’m assuming this is as long as she hasn’t brought covid back in with her from being all over the place!)

Her private team are always there to pick up the pieces. What a selfish character. I’m sure if the insurance company knew what she was doing they wouldn’t pay out as she is causing her drains to leak because she can’t keep still. She’s either dancing provocatively or galavanting round London. This would never be allowed on an NHS ward. Healthcare is costly whether NHS or private. Even the private sector does not have a bottomless money pit and if they knew she was not being sensible they would not pay out. It beggars belief how she is getting away with this. All with a face fully made up!!! The whole family are bonkers in my opinion. I wonder what the husband really thinks of it all. Maybe she has reached her insurance limit and now it’s the husband paying out? I bet he has just learned to keep his mouth shut. The women seem to be the dominant ones in that family. Just look how bowelgran was telling her husband which moves to do next with the Greece lightening dance. What a joke! They should all be ashamed of themselves the way they have portrayed having cancer and making money out of it whilst others with cancer are in dire straights financially whilst literally fighting for their lives in the NHS.

Bowelbabe is now receving daily, iv antibiotics, to counteract the liver producing poisonous bile as its not working properly. The liver seems to be giving up and it's a natural progress with the type of cancer bowel babe has. She really is on borrowed time. As an NHS patient you would not be given this treatment, the NHS could not afford to pay for this. Especially for a case that unfortunatly does not have a positive outcome. Monique, who is also experiencing serious affects of her cancer, has set up a fund giving page to enable her to receive the same daily antibiotics vitamins, etc as bowel babe. It is tragic to see these two young women fighting this awful disease, but one as in Monique is fighting with dignity and telling how it is.Where as Bowel babe is not telling how it is, painting such a false picture , singing, dancing and selling her commissions at every opportunity.
Maybe if she was more honest people would have more sympathy for her.

So desperately sad. Regardless of what any of us have thought, she is a amazingly strong and brave woman. It is truly admirable and I don’t think many of us will ever come across anyone quite like Deborah in our lifetimes. What a beautiful legacy to leave behind.

I’m so sorry it has come to this, cancer is one evil son of a bitch. I’m bowing out now because it’s all getting too raw and it feels wrong to be commenting now. I just hope her last days are as peaceful as possible, god knows she deserves that.

Cheeky cow! Clearly she hasn’t got any tat to peddle or for sure she’d be posting constantly

I’m actually not mad at her for the visitor thing. Even if she wasn’t minutes from death, she has been ‘dying’ ever since her cancer became terminal which was a long time ago. No one should go through that nevermind alone. She’s very poorly and just wanted her mum. I fully appreciate it’s unfair she had visitors when others didn’t, but I think the problem that needs fixing is that others didn’t as opposed to she did. I imagine many of us would be hysterical in that situation.

Noone should have ever be denied visitors, COVID or not. It’s absolutely criminal the way the NHS has handled that all.

Seriously though - how many teenagers (other than royals!!) dress in a shirt and jacket to go to the orthodontist?

He’s such a public schoolboy, maybe he doesn’t wear casual clothes

Can’t believe they’re selling out his orthodontic “journey” just to get it for free. They could do it privately (in both senses of the word). Makes me laugh a bit, to see wealthy people grabbing every possible freebie. I guess it’s how they stay rich.

Very sad to see. The decline in BB’s health has been much more noticeable of late. Someone mentioned it previously here but it’s the weight loss and the frailty that are the give away signs at this stage. Not being able to move around freely must be extremely tough for her as she’s always been so active and constantly on the go. My heart goes out to her and everyone else in this situation. Also to her family, her mum especially seems to have been by her side throughout. At the end of the day we are all human and she is loved by many, let’s hope she can take some comfort in that.

Or maybe she is just trying to get as much money as she can into the family pot?

It's frightening how many people have no life insurance at a young age and so panic and do as much as they can to ensure their families are taken care off.

It's desperately sad

Her husband works in private equity and is 'old money'. She definitely doesn't have to worry about finances.

OH my she is so out of her depth right now. I was gobsmacked to hear she’s been given a fellowship. The other year the royal marsden gave her an honorary doctorate. In what FFS … she’s a patient not a professor in cancer or cancer research or a cancer nurse specialist … she’s not a reporter, nor is she a writer … she’s a deputy head teacher, who was training to be a head teacher, with cancer … oh and a lot of money and contacts …

In my opinion it’s all to do with money, circles, and funny handshakes (if you know you know). She talks shit and a lot of it too and for someone with emotional intelligence she is so easily to see through. She is way way out of her depth …

As far as I can see these people who ‘suck’ up to her are as fooled and foolish as can be and the cancer community would be much better served if the powers that be were to serve the the whole rather than the individual (BB) …

I’ve never known a hospital inpatient to be allowed out to nip to the shops, is that a perk of being private as well?

Deborah is vain, demanding, smug, utterly convinced of her own superiority and a total snob. No societal rules or expectations apply to her – she does what she wants. She would be this way with or without cancer. Her situation is truly unfortunate and I hope she lives as well as possible for long as possible, but as a human being she's completely insufferable and I'd bet any amount of money that in real life she's the meanest of mean girls.

With other people who have made money out of their medical situations (Katie Piper, Jade Goody, etc.), I never had the sense that they were deeply unpleasant people. Jade had her issues, but she was also a product of her upbringing and I believe that everything she did after her cancer diagnosis was truly out of desperation to set up her sons as well as possible. I don't know much about Katie Piper so can't comment on her personality, but she seems to have done a lot to raise awareness over what happened to her.

I’d consider looking your own death squarely in the face and trying to carry on living your life and fighting the inevitable outcome as extremely brave.

I’m going to step away now as I feel uncomfortable discussing this.

Sorry for my insensitive comment.

Deborah being described as brave for continuing her pursuit of all possible treatment options put me on the defensive - as if calling her brave was implying that people who choose to stop treatment aren’t, which I know wasn’t what anybody intended.

After the very recent loss of a close family member I am very over sensitive at the moment to discussion surrounding cancer and loss, and that is my problem. I should probably steer clear of this thread for a while as it’s a bit too raw. It was awful seeing my family member having to face up to her death and I did think she was very brave to do so and to choose to stop treatment when she did, but Deborah is brave too.

Agree with above posters. To have an opposing opinion to someone isn't trolling. It's having an opinion.

If I messaged her directly, or posted something on her social media pages and my comments were bullying then that would be trolling.

We live in an age where people (not just Deborah) become uncomfortable when people don't agree with what you say or what you stand for and are labelled trolls.

I dont always agree with my work colleagues, my friends or my family. That doesn't make me a troll. We can't live in a world where we agree with everything and accept everything and never question.

Besides, socal media is creating monsters tbh. All these freebies...all this advice they give...all this my life is what you should aspire to be like. Of course we should question and call out.

This is a discussion site, just like I would sit and have a discussion over a cuppa with a buddy. Chit chat about what we see and hear.

(Anyway will step off my soap box now)

Tattle isn’t trolling, when will they understand this?!

Also it says on this picture "let them fight in peace" absolutely ...however the moment you step onto social media, TV, attend many press events and write for a national paper, that's the moment you will get public opinion.

If you want peace then stay quiet and not in the public eye.

It goes hand in hand I'm afraid.

BB is in there commenting on Monique's post and said "it's good your team are on it" uhm, did you not read what Monique wrote? Her team aren't on it, her family friend spotted this.

But bless Monique. Her sweet determination and quiet strength is so inspiring.

Shes so fucking tone deaf. Read the room Deborah, her team isn’t on it, they hid it from her and without her family friend this would never have been an option. She doesn’t have the luxuries you have and doesn’t need reminded of it.

Monique's update is promising. Her procedure has been successful - though very painful - and she's on track for the next stage in a week's time.

She's full of praise for the staff and their care. One of them even gave her a bandana she admired.

No anger for the previous overlooking of the tumour or lack of information given, just grateful for the care given. She really is an inspiration.

I'm afraid I can't help being angry on her behalf. But for the intervention of a family friend, she'd never have had this op. Shame.

Deborah has made herself the face of bowel cancer in the UK despite the fact that her experience of advanced bowel cancer is NOTHING like what most people will experience. She has consistently obfuscated the fact that she has been receiving private healthcare for years and that, as a result, she has been given access to drugs that are NOT available on the NHS (e.g. Avastin).

All of this has significantly extended her life, as well as making her overall experience with cancer if not pleasant, then at least more comfortable than most people experience (private rooms, family member visits, higher quality food...all the little things that, added up, make a huge difference). NO ONE here wants to see a relatively young woman with teenage children die. We just want her to stop lying and endlessly shilling rubbish on IG.
