Default 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.
