Jade Goody : (

[milo1978]

Has anyone heard the news about Jade Goody's cancer spreading??

I know a lot of people are going through this as well minus all her money ect... but I cant actually belive it.

Could she die??

Im very fortunate that I have only come accross cancer when my 80 year old grandfather had it so its very different to a young 27 year old.I feel very ignorant about the whole thing but very sad for & everyone else suffering form it.

i read that was supposed to have laser treatment to her cervix but she ignored four reminder letters cos she was scared.i have had laser treatment and while its unpleasent jade is proof that not getting it can have disastrous results.i'm not blaming her or criticising her just saying its not worth the risk.even bog standard smears are a bit uncomfy but so worth it

I was sickened by the news milo!
she's a human being first & foremost & I'm really sad for her & her family.

The problem with her is that she is young and cancer spreads more quickly in a younger person so my oncologist told me, as many of you know I've got breast , bone and lung cancer and they've just found a tumour on my skull bone, I've had the cancer for 4 years now and I'm still here but the fact that I'm older (66) it's not spreading so fast. I put it down to very positive thinking and a good diet which is really important. The trouble is a lot of people give up when they hear the word cancer which is a thing you should never do, I don't know how long I've got but I try to live each day as normally as I can,also I've just been diagnosed as having MRSA, don't think I can get much else!!

I've just read on Sky News (lost the link now, can't be bothered ot re-find it again) that the previous diagnosis of a 40% chance of a recovery has now been scrapped and any treeatment she now recieves will be purely to prolong her life rather than seeking a cure.

A terrible way for anyone to go- but for someone so young with two small children it seems worse.

This is awful news. I really feel for her and her kids.

I'm terribly sad for her and for any person who is facing almost a certain death.I dont think it makes one jot what she feels she has to do to secure her childrens future -she has been honest in what must be the most fearful time of her life.I certainly wont be jumping on the Jade is seeking publicity bandwagon.

I reacall someone -name excapes me who posted and virtually said it was a 'publicity' stunt -well hell mend them and I hope that they are now taking stock of being so 'gallous and sarcastic' about someones tragedy .Feel so good now -eh??.Dont think it will even touch them.

I admire her for the positive way she tried to overcome this -I am terribly sad that for her any other human who is faced with such a dire prognosis.

I wish her and her family well and I salute her for thinking of her childrens long term future -that shows true courage and resolve.
