Jade Goody Only Has Weeks To Live
There's nothing more that doctors can do for former Brit reality TV star, Jade Goody, in her battle against cervical cancer.
On Friday, she was told that she only has a few weeks to live.
Her cancer is spreading rapidly through her body as chemotherapy has failed to keep it at bay.
In an interview with the News of the World, Jade revealed that she was alone with her doctors when the tragic news was revealed. Disbelief made way for a heartbreaking acceptance:
"I couldn’t breathe when they told me, just screamed and cried and said, ‘Can’t anyone do anything to help me!’ Because a few weeks ago when they first told me the chemo hadn’t worked they said it didn’t have to be the end. They said there were lots of other medicines out there and there were other things they could do. I know they’ve done everything they can to help me and I’m grateful. But I really thought I might be OK. And I believed them. And there they were telling me it was the end. I didn’t want to believe it. I’m not blaming them. I know they’ve done everything they can to help me and I’m grateful. But I really thought I might be OK… But as I listened to them I just kept thinking, ‘It’s too late for me. My time has run out.’ All I want to do now is spend whatever time I have left with Jack and the kids."
Jade plans on making the most of the last days she'll have with us.
She's determined to have the wedding she's always wanted with her long-time boyfriend, Jack Tweed, and loving her sons as hard as she can:
“You know, when Jack came out of prison he had no idea how sick I was. And I know this is hard for him because he expected to get me back. He expected the chemo to work and that we’d have a life together as a family. I love Jack with all my heart and I want to be his wife more than anything in the world. And I will be. He’s devastated but he’s really trying to hold it together for me. But as soon as he found out I was going to die he just said, ‘Right then we’re getting married. You’re a special woman, I love you and I would be honoured to call you my wife. And I don’t care if it’s just for a few weeks’.” Jade knows that at 27 she’s too young to die. And, yes, she wants to rant and rail and scream: “I want to ask God why he couldn’t have given me more time with my boys. Just a bit—just enough to hear them laugh a few more times, to see that they’re happy, to write them long letters so I can tell them who I was and how much I loved them and remind them about all the things we did together. Because they might forget me. And I can’t bear the thought of that. I’ve decided I’m going to make them a Memory Box and put in lots of things that will remind them of me and what we did together. And maybe when they’re older it will help them remember.”
So, so, so sad.
Jade, you're in our thoughts.

Quote of the Day
This is so sad, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy…27 is just too young.
I know what it's like to have someone I love fight cancer.. Fortunately that outcome was different from Jade's.. But my thoughts and prayers are with her and her family at this time.. Peace and comfort no matter how things end up..
Why do you always reprint stories from the UK's The Daily Mail as if they are your own and without citing your source? Actually, the story stated that Jade Goody had MONTHS to live, not "weeks." In fact, NO ONE knows how long anyone has but God. None of us do.
Re: sblueyez – do some more research moron
Re: Lucky Lucy – Ummm if she wants to get married before she dies I think that would be HER CHOICE! What the fuck do you care anyhow????
my aunt has been diagnosed with liver cancer for just over a year now, she's been in the hospital for two weeks now and they're only giving her just days now. my heart aches that so many families besides my own have to go through this horrific nightmare, i pray god will pardon my aunt and jade both to continue their lives, as they are both too young to succumb to this disease.
This is so sad…. I cried.. People should give her a break for being racist. Being racist shouldn't sentence you to death. She didn't deserve dying no matter how racist she has been in the past. Maybe she made amends with God and he forgave her for being racist. It's not up to us to say "It's okay that she dies because she was racist." That's mean and inconsiderate in a time like this. There are alot worse in this world. God blessed her with children. God bless her children with all the love only a mother can give. I hope they are always taken care of. God I hope a miracle happens and she lives on. I pray for all kinds of miracles for all kinds of people
She has cervical cancer, which is an advanced form of the STD HPV. Totally preventable. Girlfriend should have had protected sex, gotten the gardasil shots and had a regular pap smear. This is a very sad, but unnecessary situation.
That made me cry. I don't know who she is either but her having to leave her boys in a few weeks has got to be the worst feeling you could ever have. I hope that she can go knowing that her boys will be taken care of. So Sad.
damn, i just came back from my boyfriends house. we had a good time. i love him to death then i think hey lets go on perezhilton.com so i can read some funny shyt. this is so not funny. ive never heard of this chick…but damn that shyt is sad. i know she has cancer…but shes acting like she cant go out tomorrow and get hit by a truck. cancer or no cancer…live ur life to the fullest regardless…this made me really sad…hope everything works out fine for this girl. im gonna make me a gyno appt tomorrow… she inspired me. FOR REAL!!!
Jade,
Believe in God and Christ as your personal savior…My prayers are w/you & family.
I am a cancer survivor my self. Never give up & believe or accept what doctors tell you… Only God can take or give you life. Have hope…..
xox
jade goody you have given us so many laughs on tv over the years.. and i cant believe the news.. i really hope your ok! evryones thinkin of you darlin.. all the best xxx
Re: Miss Monroe – He did state his source if you actually read the post - and it's the News of the World, not the Daily Mail… and if you read the News of The World article which is the source of the quote, it clearly states that she has about 8 weeks left, smart arse.
I lived in London for 6 years, and was there when Jade came to fame in the UK version of Big Brother. Since then she has had a lot of ups and downs, and the British people have seemed to love and hate her in equal measure. I have always thought that Jade is just a very real, genuine person who (like every one of us) has made mistakes, but ultimately lives her life as well as she knows how.
As a single mum to a 5-year old boy - and to put it VERY mildly - this story moves me to tears…I cannot even fathom the depths of despair I would feel in the same situation.
I am amazed by Jade and the strength she is showing in the face of news that would bring most of us to our knees. I am wishing Jade and her boys a miracle, but if this should not come to pass, then I hope the time they have left together is full of love and laughter.
And I don't know about the rest of you gals out there, but I am off to the doctor to get myself checked out!
May God be with her…… and may she make peace with herself.
That is so sad, it made me cry. That poor lady and her two boys. They will be in my prayers!
I don't know who she is, but this brought tears in my eyes. It's so sad to read a story like this. My thoughts go to her and her husband and of course her kids. I hope that the last few weeks of her life will be full of peace and love. So please press leave her alone.
This is so, so sad. Well done to Jade for sharing her story, her bravery has meant that many more women might avoid the same fate - Sky News are reporting a 20% rise in women going for smear tests in the UK. I hope she enjoys the time she has with her family. God bless, Jade.
I feel for her, but i'm pissed tht even on her last days she is still courting media attention.
Whats more i hope she is wise enought to have a will and leaver her money to her children ’cause otherwise jack will get it. So she is 'special' now that she is dying and worth marrying but she wasnt before?
Jade wise up and write that will and leave your millions to your kids, if you ever do anything right do this!!!!!!
Poor Jade. Just so tragic for her & her kids. No-one deserves this.
Re: sblueyez – NO-ONE deserves this no matter what and Jade is not such a bad person. The whole "racism" storm was sorted out long ago and Jade is NOT a racist.
Re: BGHO – Two reasons. Firstly, Jade has been very open about the fact that she wants to earn as much money as possible while she can to provide for her sons' education and futures. She is not banking the money out of greed - just out of commitment to her sons. Secondly, she wants the whole country to know what she is going through to raise awareness of cervical cancer & the importance of regular screenings for young women.
Perez you disgust me. As someone who's lost someone to cancer I can't believe you are putting this all over your page.
MY D.O.M. CAN STILL HELP HER!! QUICK, PAINLESS AND VERY INEXPENSIVE!!

He cured my husbands liver cancer 5 yrs ago and it cost us less than $500!!!
I will try to get informed and visit my doctor regulary, I think we all should, but if something bad happens I trust that I will go to God, through Jesus my saviour.
*Praying for Jade and her boys*
May this be a lesson for the rest of us to follow doctors orders, practice safe sex, and do anual paps.
Jade, look for God's face and go to him through Jesus! I'm praying for you and your boys!
So many here seem so hung up on the fact that she's a racist, they can't even feel pity for her. SHAME ON YOU. She didn't hunt down people of other races and try to ruin their lives. She didn't lynch anybody. She didn't do anything but say some stupid stuff. Stuff that isn't ok by any stretch. But put it in PERSPECTIVE. This a tragedy. A mother dying and leaving her babies behind before getting to see them to adulthood. You think that saying stupid racist things should mean someone dies a horrible death at a young age and be forced to say goodbye to her young children? This is real life. Not your entertainment. STFU if you can't be decent. If you believe in Karma, God be with you because your coldness in the face of her devastating news can't have scored you positive karma. Watch out.
Keep the faith, Jade. The truth is NO ONE knows when you will die. You live every day to the fullest, like i know you are. I am praying for you and your boys.
Re: igotthehookupcellular@gmail.com – Im sorry to hear about your sister it is horrible hearing the news i did with my dad before he died horrible knowing there out of pain and in a better place helps..i wish you and your sister and family the best take care x
Re: sabrinajoy – om-goodness 16 wow thats so young im sorry you had to go through that but so happy you came out good i hope you stay healthy take care x
Re: sblueyez – this isnt karma if so why do kids die from cancer she dosnt deserve this in anyway she is not that she is lovely down to earth and a good true person with love wow with people like you who needs enemy's huh?-what kind of person does it make you saying this i mean she just 'said' something just like you! think about that…
wow i really thought she'd be ok really sad makes me feel sick i know what it's like to loose a parent and you never forget jade your boys will love and carry that with them always my sisyter was only 4 and remembers my dad so well i know my dad's at peace and made people more aware of heart illness and left so much love and i know he's free and flying that was a shell that was causing pain a suffering he was in not my dad my dad was loving and the best ever that was his soul-he now has wings to fly and be at peace i i hope your not in pain jade and thankyou you saved so many lives with more people getting tested i hope you are free to fly xxxx
Have a great graduation day out of life/hells school.
If she does get married before she dies, some of her money will go to the husband, there will be less left for the children. Jade is a very impulsive person, she probably never thought about this. Hope someone in her family will inform her of this fact.
So, so sad.
I cannot imagine the fear and pain she must be in. Her poor kids….
That picture seems wrong. Like she didn't want to be bothered. I don't know who she is but I feel bad for her.
My god this is awful.
Theres lots of people dealing with the pain like this, My heart goes out to all of them.
