Jade Goody on morning tv

[TisTheSeasonToBeSolo]

She seems to think that 40 is old! I think she's odd(to be polite)at the best of times, but 40? old? pah!

Yes but she's in her early 20's isnt she? I imagine that if you start going through the menopause in your early twenties when it should happen to women 40+ then you do feel like that is old.

I thought 40 was ancient when I was in my twenties, now im not so sure

Give the girl a break she has life threatening cancer and 2 young boys

40 is old though... when you're the right side of it.

When your not though (ie me) the goalposts move quite significantly about what is and isn't 'old'

I know...she's 27. Don't like her one iota I'm afraid, but of course, I would not wish cancer on anyone, let alone a young mum.

I thought 35 was middle aged when I was 15, but now I'm knocking on door number 45, 75 is positively middle aged!!!

That's the spirit Solo. I'm right with you on that

feel so bad for her must be awful

Absolutely stressedsanta. Can't imagine what she is going through.

I remember when my work colleague had her 30th when I was 17. I thought she was waaay too old to be even going out and that she should be staying in because it was just wrong . Obviously at 33, I have changed my mind somewhat. What context did she say 40 was old though?

She said that this(cancer)was something that 40 year olds go through. Also that she didn't expect to be going through this(took that to be menopause)until she was 40.

I would say it would be 50's onwards to expect the menopause, unfortunately cancer doesn't take age into account does it. She is VERY young to be going through this and I have a lot of sympathy for her. Isn't her mum only early 40's??

Well Jade is 27, so she's likely to be in her mid 40's at least.

Just wiki'd her, she is 50. I must have been making assumptions that she'd had jade when she was quite young

don't believe wikki

My DS put into wikki {as part of his IT project} that Spagetti grew on trees in the antarctic

So don't believe what wikki says

I saw the interview with Jade and felt she was very brave to talk about having smears

And if her publicity gets one woman to go for a smear test then that can only be a good thing

Especially a young woman in her 20s going for a smear after watching Jade on TV rather than thinking cancer is only for older women

I agree when I was in my 20s I thought 40 was ancient ~ I am now 42

.

I wonder if she was sexually active from a young age- I was. I have had 6 monthly smears for the last 6.5 years! I read a thread recently about women not being entitled to smears until some ridiculous age in their 20's . A lot of women have had more than one child by then like Jade herself.

she was talking about the menopause and taking HRT when she was mentioning women in her 40's
