Tragic Development

Jade Goody had kept her spirits up during her battle with cancer admirably but doctors have just dealt her a devastating blow.

The 27-year-old had been given a 40 per cent chance of survival but recent tests have now shown that her cervical cancer has spread to her liver, bowel and groin.

Jade is obviously heartbroken over the latest news and told a newspaper, "I am devastated. I am angry. I don't want to die because I have so much to live for. The reality is I have gone from a 40 per cent chance of a cure to seeing how long I can stay alive."

She continued, "The whole thing is absolutely terrifying. To try and remain positive I am hoping a new type of treatment will suppress and control the cancer, which is very aggressive. I am in a nightmare."

Jade, who has two sons - Bobby aged five and Freddie aged four, was taken into hospital last Friday after complaining of extreme pain. It is then that the tests were carried out and it was discovered that the disease had spread extensively.

Truly terrible news.
