She's living through her cancer, with the camera watching every step of the way. Yes lots of people suffering from cancer but not all of them have the same profile that Jade does. She has used her celebrity status to raise the awareness in cervical cancer, which has seen a increase in the number of women who want to get tested and has started a campaign to lower the age limit for young girls who should be allowed to get tested.
Jade knows she isn't the only woman in the world with cancer but she is dealing with it in her own way. She's trying to get enough money for her sons for when they grow up. And if her shows and the way she is dealing with it can save just one person surely that is worth all of it - and deserves a hell of a lot of respect.

Like I said, this is terrible for her and her family, no doubt about that.
So because she is a celebrity, she has to be more respected than someone else who suffers from cancer ? I don't think so, in my opinion anyway.
The fact she uses her celebrity status for helping people to get tested is great and should be done further and further but that still doesn't mean she deserves being '3rd most respected person in the world'.
A lot more people have done more and better for the world.
I basically agree with you, she deserves respect and she is right to do it for her kids but I'm only saying she doesn't deserve to be ranked so high.
