I was alive when I should have been dead. In another movie I missed the sliding door and
departed this wondrous life long ago. Like so many others I had to learn to live not knowing
if I have a tomorrow because statistically I didn't. At the age of 35 I was blindsided by
incurable bowel cancer - I was given less than an 8 per cent chance of surviving five years.
Five years later my only option was to live in the now and to value one day at a
time.-------------------- How do you turn your mind from a negative spiral into realistic and
rebellious hope? How do you stop focusing on the why and realise that 'why not me' is just as
valid a question? When Deborah James was diagnosed with incurable bowel cancer at just 35 she
learned a powerful lesson: the way we respond to any given situation empowers or destroys us.
And with the right skills and approach we can all face huge challenges and find strength and
hope in the darkest of places. How to Live When You Could Be Dead will show you how. It will
awaken you to question your life as if you didn't have a tomorrow and live it in the way you
want to today. By harnessing the power of positivity and valuing each day as though it could be
your last you'll find out as Deborah did that it is possible to live with joy and purpose
no matter what. Ebury a division of Penguin Random House will pay £2.50 from the sale of each
