Jade is now terminally ill

Quote:

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.

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.

This is so devastating.

This is a truly tragic story. :sad:

Awww man! This really is bad news! I feel really bad for her family and friends. I still believe it was inapropriate to keep her disease so public, but when you hear something like this, it really makes you feel horrible about criticizing anything she did since she had cancer.

I guess just pray for her! Yu never know what the future brings...

Shouldn't feel bad about it ... but be expected to be bombarded with stories in the next few days/weeks. She'll probably want to milk every last penny out of it, but lets face it we all would if it was to help our kids after we're gone.

Devastatingly sad :sad: My thoughts are with her and all her family.

I really can`t believe this is happening,she was so full of life (still appears to be in her documentry) and doesn`t deserve this at all,shes so young and has everything to live for.I can`t express how sad it makes me to think that in a short amount of time shes going to be gone.I`ll be absolutly devastated when I hear of her passing,I know I don`t know her but with someone like Jade you sort of feel like you do know her,shes the most famous bb contestant ever and I think us bb fans owe alot to her,she helped make the show the success it is today and I`m thankful to her for that.I think shes an amazing human being and parent,how she`s got through what she has in life is astounding and she doesn`t get the credit she deserves.
I just hopes she lives as long as she possibly can and her last days are everything she hopes for and that her two boys grow up to have the life she would have wanted for them.I know things happen like this all the time and just becasue its Jade doesn`t make it any worse but personally I`ve never had much experience of death,well up until recently anyway and it really does make me sad.

i agree with you and even though i dont particually like her this is so so sad

I actually was shocked that Jade was doing all of the shows just for money for her boys. rather what I thought she was doing just for fame. And It's sad to hear it.

aw poor jade
Jades a fighter

Im so sad about jade i light a candle for her every night and pray for her

I just can`t believe one day really soon shes no longer going to be with us.

Poor Jade.

Best wishes to her family.

This is sad news, Jade isn't much older than me and it's a shock to see her going through this. I've worried about getting older and being 30 in a few years' time but it's sad that Jade possibly won't live to see 28, let alone 30 so it makes you realise how precious life is really.

Best wishes to Jade and those around her, I wouldn't even have supported her had I not been a Big Brother fan.

Best wishes to her and her family. It's so sad to see someone with so much more to give to be taken away like this. This can happen to anyone. Like I've said before. Count your blessings.

Yeh,it really makes me think about my life and how lucky I am and to start not taking things like my family and my own life for graunted anymore.Everyone should live life to the full and don`t put off things because it could really happen to any of us.

Has she told the kids yet?

I think it's disgusting she's runs straight to the press with every bit of news while her kids have been fed lie after lie after lie and aren't being prepared for the inevitable at all.

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.

Whether she has or not, its an extremely hard thing to do so I wouldn't say its "disgusting".

Cant believe she only has months to live.

This is so sad :cry:

I can't begin to imagine how Jade and her family must be feeling right now. I struggled to read the story today because it really is sad to think how we all know Jade for being bubbly and friendly and to see her now lying in a hospital bed knowing she'll never be that person again :bawling: I think she's been so brave for her kids because when she speaks about them she says how she's always strong for them and it must break her heart when her boys ask her questions because she doesn't want to tell them she's dying.

Jade we are all thinking of you and you will always be rememered for the bubbly girl we saw all those years ago when you first shot to fame. God bless. x
