i think jades family and friends have signed a new contract for more documentaries,as i only heard that they were meant to be doing about 2,but they have instead done about 5 jade documentaries aint they?

Sadly Jade was a tragic figure, she polarised opinion, people either adored her or hated her, especially following the celeb BB race issue.

I personally liked her a great deal and I am aware that her publicising her demise due to cancer did make many women seek tests and many have likely saved their lives because of her.

In my family, I liked her, so do many others but many also groan at the very mention of her name.
Its a matter of personal opinion, for me I would rather see as many programmes on Jade on TV as they like because her story is a varied and at the end very tragic one. Others though clearly are tired of hearing about her which is equally understandable.

The "Jade Effect" didn't last, though :



Cancer fears grow as “Jade Goody” effect fades

The “Jade Goody” effect on cervical cancer testing – which bolstered the numbers of women having cervical smear tests – appears to be fading in England, with fewer women having the tests in the last year compared with the previous 12 months.

Figures revealed by the NHS Information Centre and reported by the Press Association this week show that a total of 3.3 million women aged 25 – 64 were tested under the NHS Cervical Screening Programme in England during 2009/10, a drop from the previous year’s peak of 3.6 million.

Sadly most effects that are good don't last,in the early time after her sad death, many women did seek testing and some were able to be treated that were found to have the problem.

Although women are not now going for the testing as they should,those early women who went because of the publicity of Jades demise were in effect saved or had their minds put at ease.

When you are 25 or whatever age you start getting the smears you should go to your appointment. EVERY woman should. Even young women who have had the HPV jab. Everyone should still go to their smear test.... unless they want to die.
