    Default Jade goody

    I doubt any americans will have heard of her?
    Well she got famous off the English version of big brother and then went on to have her own reality shows and open her own beauty salon, there was a big media thing about her being racist which I really think she was put in a bad light but anyway she went on the indian big brother and part way through filming that she was told she had cervical cancer.

    She had treatment and cameras followed her journey but now the cancer has spread and she has been told she has weeks to live, she has just gotton married to her boyfriend I think was sweet as it gave her someting nice to look forward to and she asked for no wedding presents just for donations to her two little boys trust fund for when they grow up.

    I remember watching an ad for her reality show and she was saying when she was upset about losing her hair one of her little boys was like 'don't worry mummy we will still kiss you'

    In England pap smears have gone up by 21% after this has been all over the media...
    Its all sooo sad, and just a reminder you should all get checked regularly!

    And now

    I've been following this story on perez. I feel so sorry for her and her family/loved ones. I hope she is at peace inside, although I can't imagine how easy accepting her fate could ever be. I think it's really sad.

    Yeah i remember watching her on big brother. It's so sad because she is so young and has 2 little boys. Cancer is such an awful disease.

    I have never been able to stand her and thought that she was making money off her terrible illness. I always bypassed her stories in the papers becasue of this. A friend is currently battling cancer herself and doing an amazing job setting up charityballs etc etc.
    But i actually started reading the stories and found that she was making money to put in a trust fund for her sons and i found that sweet and felt a little bad and then i realised that she is encouraging more girls to have themselves checked out. So although i dont like her, i admire that what she is doing a lot. Though I cant help but think she married a total prick!

    Thats pretty much how I feel/felt haha..its after that whole racist thing I thought shes horrible and to be honest when it was first in the papers and she was selling it to every paper/mag I was thinking fuck off cause I thought she was just trying to get attention and for people to feel sorry for her and I thought if bad things happen to good people then why shouldnt they happen to bad people (horrible I know!) But then I realised she was just trying to raise awareness and her storys help alot of people going through the same thing and I think he is gross however I think he loves her, he got married to her simply for that reason cause she is not leaving any money to him in his will its all just going to her sons, I feel sorry for them alot!

    Hmm, I dunno, I do think the racism thing was overblown. It was more ignorance on her part than actually having a go at Shilpa cos she's Indian... I don't think she was ever any more malicious than anyone else.

    I never really had much of an opinion on her, but I really feel for her now, I found it pretty hard to take in that someone as young and well know as Jade had weeks to live, so I can't even imagine how she must feel.

    My boyfriend lost his Dad to cancer a few years ago (my boyf was 18,his brother was 13, and their dad was 47) and his Dad lived out his last days with no money, watching his Wife struggling to support a family on her own. Because of this, my boyfriend is understandably a little unhappy that Jade is getting given a wedding dress and a huge, fantastic wedding, when his Dad was more or less given up on once then cancer spread,

    That's really sad. I was watching her on Big Brother in India on youtube. One thing you can say for her, she's as real as it gets. She's a very strong willed person.

    absolutely tragic, but then, i always thought she was great.

    i had a smear test last week because of all of the media attention on her. i wonder if it may give her some small amount of happiness knowing she is publicizing this awful illness and i'ts making young women go and get checked. i have 3 friends who have had cervical cancer and have had to have all or parts of their reproductive organs removed.

    It's because of Jade that I got my Pap/Smear test done.
    I feel sorry for her and her boys, I would do the same thing in her shoes.

    Or perhaps shes one of those girls who just always wanted a dream wedding..its something he knew and wanted her to have that perfect day before she dies.

    I dont perticularly like him but I dont believe he just sticking by her because of exposure.

    It's sad, but hopefully it'll raise awareness of cancer in younger women which can only be a good thing..

    Theyre looking on lowering the age of smear tests in the UK becaue it is 25 currently and as she died of it at 27 they think lowering it could help.
