Jade Goody diagnosed with womb cancer

[Macdog]

Story here

Perhaps she is giving interviews to the press because she wants to set the record straight and get it out of the way before her treatment. She is (apparently) receiving a lot of support from Max Clifford who was diagnosed with cancer not long ago, who also spoke to the press about it. Maybe she is hoping that by being straight they will leave her alone later on.

People react to these things in different ways, I don't think that they should be judged by the way they handle it and I agree that those that were slagging her off earlier in the week should be ashamed.

I hope she gets through this and lives a long and happy life. This isn't a time to bicker amongst ourselves - it's a time to be thankful for what we have.

I have just watched the video on the sun's website and I'm proud of how strong and determined she seems.

I am saddened by her saying how people were saying on blogs that she probably only has pre-cancerous cells and is milking it...

From what she says this thing has been growing inside her for 2 years, despite all the tests she's had coming back clear which is really shocking to think about, and that it could be in her bloodstream and have spread further than just from her cervix to her womb.

There's also a thing there from the sun's doctor about the NHS thinking about scrapping smear tests for under 25's!!! They can't surely?

I really feel for Jade...despite what she's done and whether you like her or not [imo she's incredibly naive and simple(!) rather than meaning any real malice)...she doesn't deserve this.

Whatever her reasons are for the PR then that's her decision...if you don't like it, then don't read it!

It may well be her way of coping and dealing with it....a friend of mine finds that she deals with things/situations better if she tells everyone...something about making the situation 'real'?! In these kind of situations, you just have to deal with it in the best way that you can.

goingslowlymad, so sorry about - and for - your friend. The worst thing for me about being diagnosed with cancer would be the worry about my child(ren) How are her family now?

I honestly can't see where gunnerbean was being nasty..?
She commented that posie was a bit harsh BUT from what I read wasn't nasty....Thing is with posting on sites like this is that comments can be read in different ways.
As others say posie, maybe interviews/work is Jades way of coping. Different strokes for different folks.

On another note..its such a shame how many women (and lo's /families as the outcome) are affected by cc . And even more shocked as well at the NHS's plans to scrap the tests for u25's as auntiemaggie said...BUT thats the NHS's for you and the current government BUT that another topic .

Why should anyone that has posted here be back on 'eating humble pie'. It's a public forum, not a hotline to Jades house.

I told everyone when I had my scare - more than once in some cases driving my DP mad with repeating myself - and counsellor seemed to think maybe it was because on a subconscious level I still hadn't taken in what was happening and when I was telling the story I was actually telling myself (or someting like that) which I can believe because I was remarkably calm during most of the months it dragged on fo despite having words like cancer and transplant thrown at me.

It wasn't until later when I was recovering and couldn't do anything but sat on my arse that it hit me how serious everything was.

I agree with Gunnerbean, that was a hugely unecessary comment from Posie. I read the interview and think anyone here who made uncalled for comments like that one should be ashamed of themselves.

i a, with you gunnerbean

and at the likes of posie

Sorry if I offended you Posieflump (not!).

Maybe that feeling gave you a little insight into how easy it is to become offended when you feel that people are attacking you personally and unjustly.

Can you imagine how Jade Goody may have felt had she read your (IMHO) highly offensive post in which you (again, IMHO) inferred in the most sarcastic way that she was not really ill at all? If you "wished her no ill" as you say then why not say something nice ad supportive rather than something nasty? There is no question that your "observation" was uncalled for in the circumstances.

Jade Goody is a woman, a mother of two small children, who has just been diagnosed with a terminal illness. How anyone could view your comment as anything other than unnecessary and uncalled for is beyond me.

I'm sure poor Jade wishes that all she had to worry about right now was a message that a stranger had written to her on an internet website.

I suggest you go and watch her video on The Sun website and think again about your remark.

Jade does have more to worry about than what strangers are writing about her on the internet. I really doubt that she's reading this thread

jade is a mother who must be pondering her mortality,scared about her children,empathy check ladies

yes she can be foul coarse offensive. deservedly she has been vilified

but i cant get over a scared woman with children facing cancer

cocolepew you are very nieve if you think the likes of Jade won't read an internet thread/blog like this.

Celebrities are just like us and in fact even worse as many of them want to read whats written about them out of curiosity. Who knows....maybe she is an incognito mner ...Nothing stopping her.
She may a regular who comes here for advice or a chat or general banter like all of us.

AND to add to the point, she did actually say on the sun interview that she had read internet blog's and peoples comments. BIG BROTHER is watching you..!

at spelling..was trying to do something else at same time as typing..not thinking about spelling/grammar

Cocolepew, I was actually referring to Posieflump when I said I'm sure poor Jade wishes that all she had to worry about right now was a message that a stranger had written to her on an internet website.

Posieflump is apparently "shocked" and "offended" by how "harshly" I have "judged" her for making her uncalled for and unnecessary comments.

That, coming from her in response to what I wrore compared to what she wrote about Jade. Beggar's belief doesn't it?

btw cocolepew, just read your comment below about humble pie. Its not the fact that Jade may read this BUT I think its quite nasty for people to slag her off when they don't know the full facts and now the facts have come out they are nowhere to be seen.
If you read the whole thread, quite nasty commenst were made earlier in the thread.
The fact that jade has publically come out and said "im ill" surely means its no publicity stunt.
That was my point.

The poor girl i do hope she gets through this it horrible

Blimey, I apologised and people are still slagging me off
Not sure what else I can say really apart from leave the thread and wish Jade well.

Great news Posieflump. If you'd wished her well in the first place, instead of being so nasty, then you wouldn't have made yourself look a complete and utter twonk and no one would have ever needed to slate you.

Gunnerbean, you're coming across as a bully now. You've made your point - why can't you just leave it ????

Gunnerbean, Posie's comment was no better or worse than many of those at the beginning of this thread - and she is perfectly entitled to her opinion.

She has already apologised for any upset she may have caused.

I'm not sure why you don't consider that good enough.

Your comments

"Maybe she wants to do that to put a stop to folk like you making the sorts of moronic comments that you have".

"Where do people like you get off on making those sorts of comments?"

"Give me Jade Goody over the liikes of you any day".

"Sorry if I offended you Posieflump (not!)"

are far more offensive than anything Posie has written, imo.

I think you owe Posie a genuine apology

Gunnerbean, are you Runnerbean with a slight name change?

she has stage 2 cancer - is it uterine or cervical? I doubt a smear test would reveal uterine cancer.

Poor, poor lady. It just breaks my heart to think of her fighting to see her boys grow up

I think that they think it spread into her uterus but I'm not really sure. It is devastating and I feel so sorry for her. She has so much to go through now and will miss out on alot of enjoyment with her children even if she does beat the disease as the treatment is so debilitating anyway.

I lost a friend to a brain tumour seven years ago - her youngest boy was 18 mths old when she was diagnosed and just 3 when she died. He has no memories of her not being sick. She also left a daughter of six.

Cancer is so cruel and so random. Imagine having to face a hysterectomy at the age of 27?

Some of the comments here about other posters have been rude IMHO. Just because someone has a different opinion to yours doesn't mean they are wrong.
Of course I hope Jade recovers, nobody on this board wishes her bad health, but I don't want to see her in every magazine and paper either.
