Deborah James on picking where to spend her final days: This is 'where I always wanted to die

The mother-of-two said she decided not to receive hospice care in the home she shares with her husband and children so that "without these memories, she can continue to be her home."

Deborah James shared that she "always wanted to die" after stopping her colon cancer treatment.

James, 40, recorded the latest episode of his BBC podcast You, Me & The Big C: Setting the Can in Cancer just days after sharing a hospice. Before the Deborah James episode 'Last Dance,' producer Mike Holt explained that James filmed the attack in his parents' backyard in a lounge chair.

During the post, the British radio presenter told Holt that he was in the hospital "without a few days at home" from January until earlier this month, when it was decided he would need hospital treatment.

"I've decided to be with my parents because as much as I love London, I can't even climb stairs to pee. It's somehow impractical. My parents live in a bungalow so I can see the greenery, and my whole family can come here," he explained. "It's a place where I've always wanted to die," James adds to Your Mind.

James continued: "I think I always knew I didn't want to call London home. I don't think that's true. Nothing can describe the relaxed feeling at this property. Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful place, but I don't think I could be there either. But it means kids can go back there, and they don't have medical equipment, gauze everywhere. It could continue to be his home without those memories, which can be good.

The founder of the Bowelbabe Foundation, who was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2016, revealed on Monday that he was in the hospital: "I never wanted to write a message. We tried everything, but my body wouldn't cooperate." James started. "My active treatment has ended, also I am now placed in a nursing home at home with my wonderful family around me, and the focus is on making sure I am not in pain and spending time with them."
