Familja e saj tha se Dame Deborah ndau përvojën e saj me kancerin për të rritur ndërgjegjësimin, për të thyer barrierat, për të sfiduar tabutë dhe për të ndryshuar bisedën rreth kancerit. Edhe në momentet më sfiduese, vendosmëria e saj për të mbledhur para dhe ndërgjegjësim ishte frymëzuese. Një zëvendës mësuese, ajo filloi një blog për kancerin, përpara se të shkruante për Sun dhe të bëhej prezantuese e BBC. Por më 9 maj ajo njoftoi se nuk po merrte më kujdes aktiv dhe nuk e dinte sa kohë kishte mbetur.

In May, she was honored by Prince William at her parents' home in Woking, Surrey, where she had chosen to stay. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge - who donated to the research fund - praised her tireless efforts and thanked her for giving hope to those living with the disease.
