so Jade Goody has months to live

[liahgen]

How very very tragic,

poor girl, and those poor little boys.

i like jade, i think this is very very sad, and hope that there is suddenly an unexplanable cure for her( and everyone in same position). saw photo of her without her hair the other day and, i think shes still beautiful! its just soo cruel, shes only a young girl really, just 27? and she got the two little ones. i hope she marries jack and has a wonderful happy day and enjoys the time she has left.... .

"I really hope she doesn't get married to that guy jack tweed. He'll inherit the money she's been working so hard to earn for her boys.

Why can't she marry Jeff? It'd make more sense really, they're still good friends and he loves the boys."

What a bizarre thing to say. Presumably she loves Jack? And marrying him doesn't mean he'll automatically inherit everything, if she makes wills then she can leave her estate to whoever she wants.

And being good friends with someone doesn't mean you want to marry them, and presumably Jeff is an ex for a reason?

Fair point MummyDoIt. It's a dignity issue. Hadn't thought of it that way....

TheBFG, Jack has cheated on her repeatedly and she keeps taking him back. I just think it'd be a decision borne out of insecurity, sadness and panic.
I hope she doens't marry him.

there but for the grace of god and all that. Could be any one of us here.

I hope she makes lots of dvd's for her boys, my mum dies when I was 11 yrs old, and i'd love to be able to hear what her voice sounded like.

I can't blame the woman for wanting to make as much money as possible for her DC, but am a bit fed up of the wall-to-wall coverage. It's not really news that someone has cancer and is dying - particularly when it's someone who TBH is not that important to the rest of us (not saying she doesn;t matter to her friends and family, of course, but there's no reason why I should give a toss about her).

really sad news. Not that i was a great fan or anything, but just terrible to read of a young mother like that being told she has not got long. I cannot imagine what she is going through right now.

What is even worse, is that she is one of many young mums fighting this, and the detailed coverage of every stage of her illness can be of no comfort to those

This has made me so sad. Her boys are the same ages as my dds, which makes it seem a bit closer iyswim. Unimaginable to think of having to say goodbye to them.

Poor Jade .

i hope she does not marry jack tweed ...this is so sad hope us ladys out there defo go for there smears etc i dint go for 3 years but had one last year ...

Well, if she wants to marry Jack she should. Maybe she has always wanted to get married. She just needs to write a bloody good will.

Very sad for her and her boys.

This story makes me so sad and also scared as if it can happen to her at the young age she is then it can happen to anyone. This is somthing that regularly keeps me awake at night (it happening to me, not Jade) and it makes me sooooo sad that young people have to leave their young families.

How terrible for her and her family to be going through this.

I feel so sorry for her and her boys. It really is desperately sad, she's so young.

I was lucky, my cancer was caught early and treated with surgery. I really hope some good comes out of this in that more women go for regular smears. Too many women die from cervical cancer

I think her story is quite a sad one. She came to be by a reality show and she beacame quite popular in a way. She lost it by saying something silly but out of ignorance. We've all been there,done that but not in public luckily...

There are lots of people with cancer and I don't know about next to all of them but when I hear someone has a terminal illness I do take a minute and think of them.

I am hoping she gets lots of messages of support that she can read and see that she really is like and loved and forgiven for being young. Her notoriety will do some good in that many young women may question why they aren't entitled to a smear test (I understand not till 25 in some places though I could be wrong) even if one woman now goes to the Dr gets tested and has something that is caught early surely it's worthwhile her being in the public eye?

Personally I wouldn't know how I would cope in such a situation, I can't imagine not seeing my boys grow up and knowing that I wouldn't so I would never critcise what she does or how she acts.

I agree with you solidgold. And what has made me even more is the fact that Max Clifford was on the radio this morning saying that the reasons this was all over the news were:

1. so she could make as much money as possible.

1. so she can keep busy.

and 3 . to raise awareness.

In that order.

I just find this story so heartbreaking. Poor girl. Poor kids.

why on earth is she spending a million quid on a wedding or am I reading that wrong? Is the million quid what will be paid for the pictures?

Agree it's very sad, mustn't forget though that there are many many others facing a similar tragedy without her earning power. I always thought she was pretty well off anyway, in the millions. I appreciate that you'd want to do as much as you could for your boys, but for me that would be spending as much time as possible, giving them memories, writing them letters to open on their birthdays etc.

Oh ok, I thought I might have misread that. It's a bit misleading. I do hope she's able to spend some time with those boys too, it's memories that they'll cherish, not money.

Surely she should be quiting work and spening as much quality, memory giving time with her sons as possible. I think if this was me I would even consider taking my kids out of school to cram as much as I could in with them. Kids need lots of love and memories, not money.

please note I am not critisising her, she is doing what she feels is right for her children I am just saying that if I was in her position I would view spending the last of my time with my children as my priority.

I think that people should stop being nasty to Jade. I don't know her, but I would not wish cancer on anyone. Its horrific.

I'm not being nasty reallytired.

fgs I don't get this attitude from some that once someone is in a bad situation they suddenly turn into some sort of saint who is above any criticism.

Yes the fact that Jade has cancer is tragic, it is tragic for her, and it is tragic for her friends and family. But millions of people are suffering from cancer, and of those people, a signifficant percentage will die. And they don't have hello magazine to pay a milllion quid for the pictures of their final moments with their families.

Jade's death will be tragic for her and for those who knew her (personally) she will leave behind. But let's not pretend that she was a much loved celebrity who will be sorely missed. The fact she has cancer hasn't suddenly turned her into mother Theresa.

There are a lot of people without Jade's earning power who will suffer a similar if not worse fate. Where is their £1m deal?

the coverage in hello etc can be avoided of course. But when "Jade Goody has been given months to live/Jade Goody is getting married to her boyfriend after being told she has just months to live," is headline news on the bbc, it's pretty hard to avoid. I don't see why I should avoid the news because I don't want to hear something that isn't actually news.

I'm not particularly upset, I'm a little disturbed that it appears she's not going to be spending much time alone with her boys. Of course I may be wrong, I have no idea what she's doing behind closed doors.

FWIW I don't think dying makes you worthy of money any more than being a footballer. I admire her trying to set up a future for her boys, but I don't think she's any more worthy than anyone else in her situation. I really am not kicking her when she's down, I quite like her gumption, even before she was ill. She didn't run away after the Shilpagate thing did she? She went on Indian Big Brother. That's a gutsy thing to do.
