Am shocked, I knew she was ill but never expected this so soon.

Her tweets about her ex being an arse when she was at her lowest were heartbreaking and her joy at seeing reviews of her book was infectious.

RIP

How awful and so sad. I follow her on Twitter and I thought recently, from my experience of my dad dying of cancer last year, that she much be near the end from how she was describing it.

She was such a bracing, refreshing voice. RIP.

Oh that's sad Sad

I read her columns during her initial treatment for breast cancer, and thought she was in remission.

RIP Deborah. Sad that her vile ex made her last months so stressful but I hope she is at peace now. Very strong woman.

Oh so so sorry about that. And so sorry she won't see her book published.
