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├óΓé¼Γäót breathe when they told me, just screamed and cried and said, ├óΓé¼╦£Can├óΓé¼Γäót anyone do anything to help me!├óΓé¼Γäó Because a few weeks ago when they first told me the chemo hadn├óΓé¼Γäót worked they said it didn├óΓé¼Γäót 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├óΓé¼Γäóve done everything they can to help me and I├óΓé¼Γäóm 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├óΓé¼Γäót want to believe it. I├óΓé¼Γäóm not blaming them. I know they├óΓé¼Γäóve done everything they can to help me and I├óΓé¼Γäóm grateful. But I really thought I might be OK… But as I listened to them I just kept thinking, ├óΓé¼╦£It├óΓé¼Γäós too late for me. My time has run out.├óΓé¼Γäó 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.
