Jade Goody is going blind
Quote:
DESPERATE Jade Goody is terrified that she may never see her beloved young sons again as cancer takes her sight.
The dying star is bravely fighting to be allowed home from hospital so she can die near her two boys.
But worried pals have revealed her condition is now so bad she can barely see — with her remaining vision limited to just one eye.
And the Big Brother favourite, 27, fears that if she is not allowed home soon she may never again glimpse little Bobby, five, and brother Freddie, four.
One close pal said: “Every day Jade’s away from the children she knows it’s one less day she’ll get to spend with them before she dies.
“She’s desperate to be close to her sons in her final hours and hates them seeing her in hospital.
“She wants to go home and be surrounded by family and friends — not in a hospital bed. Everyone’s concentrating on getting the nurses prepared so that she can face the pain at home.”
Jade’s sight has deteriorated rapidly since she and her sons were christened in an emotional hospital service on Saturday, when she was still able to recognise relatives and friends.
The star, now barely able to speak, revealed later: “I’m so sad it was one of our last moments.
“I’m so proud of my little men — I love them more than anything.”
Jade’s spokesman Max Clifford confirmed she was intent on returning to her home in Upshire, Essex.
He said: “It means so much to her to be close to the boys.
“She’s hoping she’ll be able to go home in the next few days if the nurses can look after her there.”
But last night mum Jackiey Budden, 50, was sitting with her daughter as fears grew she may have just hours rather than days to live.
It was the first time Jackiey had kept a round-the-clock bedside vigil for Jade at the Royal Marsden Hospital in Chelsea, West London.
And last night the family were bracing themselves for the worst.
Earlier, Jade was visited by 21-year-old husband Jack Tweed, who wed her at a hotel last month.
He stayed with her for more than five hours, collecting flowers from well-wishers as he popped outside.
Meanwhile, security at the hospital has been stepped up after an amazing breach on Sunday, when a female intruder was found in Jade’s room.
The star woke to find the woman stroking her head and chanting prayers.
Police arrested the intruder, who was found to be in possession of a gavel — a small ceremonial hammer used mostly by judges.
The 41-year-old was later released without charge.
Hospital sources said she had simply asked a member of staff for directions to Jade’s room and made her way there unchallenged.
Jade, diagnosed with cervical cancer last summer, is mustering all her strength to support a march to Downing Street next week calling for the age for smear tests to be cut to 20.
Mr Clifford said: “If she’s well enough she wants to go to that.”
