Yes, it's not an easy thing to tell your kids, for anyone, but when you're selling your story to anyone who'll pay for it, you have a responsibility to ensure the kids here it from you, not the News of the World.

lie after lie???shes hardly been lying to them,shes said herself she just doesn`t think theres any need to use the word cancer.Her children are well aware their mum is sick but for gods sake they are children,what do you want her to say 'hey kids mummys going to be dead by the time your next birthday comes around!'
Im sure they wont find out about Jades illness or death by the News of the World,why would they?Surely their father or another family memeber will break the news unless Jade decides to explain whats going to happen to her herself in the coming weeks or months.
At the end of the day were no in Jades position and I`m sick of hearing people criticize her :rolleyes:shes dying and there her children and its her illness ,surely can we not just let her do it her own way and lay off on the criticizing :puzzled:

To be fair, I don't know many kids that read newspapers. Especially NOTW.

I suppose most kids prefer The Observer.

Let's make no mistake about it - this is tragic (for her and her family) and it is never easy to tell anyone such news, especially children, but as Jade and her publicist have let it play out in the public eye, it's inevitably opens up every decision they make to criticism.


My concern with it now shifts away from Jade and towards those who might be willing to exploit it for their own gain - (you know, the ones who dubbed her "racist bully Jade" a few months ago). It benefits absolutely no one to let Jade's death play out in front of the cameras - and I would hope that someone, somewhere in the production company would have the ethics to realise that, however willing Jade (who let's not forget, is in a very vulnerable position right now) might appear to be.

A few years ago we had the absolutely sickening situation where the press were camped outside a hospital waiting for George Best to die, and then following his funeral as if he were a head of state. I think the era of the "Hello! Funeral" needs to be stopped before it's allowed to begin.

Seriously though. Its very sad, and all these pics that come out everyday, make it even worst.

I dont think anyone wants to see them!

Its going to benefit her kids. I'm glad shes milking every last penny out of this. Lets not forget away from forum land Jade must be pretty popular otherwise she wouldn't have lasted this long in the media, so there are going to be a hell of a lot of people interested in this story and following it almost religiously. Thats because of the rags to riches story, and a lot of people can probably identify with her.

Other benefits include that smear tests are now significantly up.

That's cruel, no matter how insignificant she may be to society she's a person and she has feelings. She's going to be leaving her young children, family and friends behind.

Just imagine how they're going to feel.

Everyone is a loss unless they've done a horrific crime. Doesn't matter if they've made an impact or not.

Shows what sort of personality you have. I bet if would be a different story if she was one of your family members.

Shaun 15-02-2009 05:23 PM

Well yes it would because:

a) None of my family members are racist bullies.
b) None of my family would use their illness for endless, shameless publicity.
c) They'd be a member of my family. Jade Goody isn't.
d) Actually I don't need a d.

What a stupid comment. Of course it'd be ****ing different if this was a member of my family. Did you not even twig that when you typed it?

And yeah, it does show what personality I have. I'm a very hateful person. And I don't really care about what Matt08 has to say about that.

a) That was in the past, she's been forgiven by the people involved. She still doesn't deserve to die.
b) She's already said that she is using publicity to make money for her children's future. Plus her publicity has done good because numbers of smear tests are up.
c) Regardless if she is your family member or not, she doesn't deserve to die. What has she ever done to you?

I don't care what you think of me either, and I agree that you are a very hateful person.

Jade isn't a racist bully. The police picked up on the case after the series ended, went through endless hours of footage and found nothing to suggest racism.

STRICKEN Jade Goody is desperate to return home so she can spend her remaining time with her two young sons.

Complications from her cancer have forced the Big Brother star to remain in hospital, where saddened doctors this week told her they are now powerless to stop the disease from spreading.

But medics are hopeful the 27-year-old could yet return to her family’s Essex home and receive treatment from a community Macmillan nurse.

The tragic truth about Jade’s condition emerged on Tuesday when she asked why no more chemotherapy was planned for her next week.

Staff at Chelsea’s Royal Marsden Hospital warned her the truth would be hard to take, but she begged to be told.

A member of the medical team she trusted then gently explained that chemo was now unable to stop her cancer spreading.

Instead, doctors’ concern now is to make her comfortable and ease the pain in the months — or even weeks — before she passes away.

Jade, cruelly robbed of her hair by gruelling sessions of chemotherapy, has drawn up a will from her hospital bed leaving her estate to her sons and has been moved into a private room.

She is being comforted in hospital by mum Jackiey Budden, 50, and boyfriend Jack Tweed, 21.

But Jack has to leave at 3pm daily to get home and comply with the conditions of his prison electronic-tag curfew.

Smiling through ... Jade Goody in Hyde Park last November

One friend said: “Jade is still fighting, but she knows in her heart there is no chance of getting out of this situation. The doctors have told her there is nothing more they can do.

“They cannot operate or give her chemotherapy. The only thing they can do is try and make her comfortable. It is going to be weeks now.

“Because she is still a young woman, the cancer cells are growing rapidly.

“A solicitor came into the hospital this week and Jade has drawn up a will leaving her money in a trust fund for the boys. Her only thoughts are for them.”

Jade, diagnosed with cervical cancer last August, has continued with media interviews despite her illness in order to make as much money as possible to leave behind for Bobby and Freddie.

Care arrangements for her sons have been drawn up between Jackiey, Jack and the boys’ TV presenter father Jeff Brazier.

The source added: “There is not going to be a happy ending — Jade needs a miracle.

“The most important thing to her now is to get home.

“She is very frightened of dying in hospital and wants to spend what time she has left at home with her boys and family close to her.”

Staff decided not to risk any more chemotherapy on Jade’s shattered body and are instead concentrating on palliative care.

They broke the news on Tuesday that earlier hopes of recovery had been dashed by the spread of the disease into her groin, liver and bowel.

Oncologists believe the disease infected her liver through the blood from her cervix — making it highly likely it has also spread to her brain and bones.

The Sun revealed earlier this month that Jade’s cancer had spread.

She sobbed: “I don’t want to die” as doctors told her the devastating news.

Love her or hate her ... this is sad and wouldn't wish it on anyone :sad:
I agree Tom. As for those who said she was attention seeking, they should be ashamed of themselves and feel fortunate it isn't happening to them. lol:angel:D

Captain.Remy 15-02-2009 05:44 PM

Very sad for her but she has 0 dignity to expose her life like that. Wait a minute, since when Jade has had dignity ?
Of course it's tragic what's happening to her and to her family but she is clever enough to expose such a huge thing on newspapers. Jade is Jade until the end.

The only reason she is making it so public is so she can raise money from newspaper and magazine deals for her son's future. I'm sure any celebrity would do that if they were in her situation.

Wildcat! 15-02-2009 05:55 PM

She is being true to herself at least, dont you think?

If you think about it, she has always talked about detailes of her personal life. This is no different. I cant imagine how it must be, when youre terminally ill. I ma glad she is strong.

I am thinking if it was me, I would be grumpy and just in despair!!!

This is soo Sad!
Its such a shame. I actually cannot believe this :(:( :sad::sad::sad:

Sod_James 15-02-2009 07:48 PM

I have never really been a fan of Jade but this is really sad you cant help but feel really sorry for her.

Fom 15-02-2009 07:50 PM

Shaun you kind of need to get a grip, this isn't some little publicity stunt, some little racist comment she has made, this is death, something no one deserves this early. I don't know why you are such a hateful person but I think a lot of people would agree its not welcome, not in such a thread.

Dom:D 15-02-2009 07:50 PM

Still can't believe this :sad:
