But still wouldn't have wished this on her, or anyone - no, not even Steve Jobs or cyclists..............

Or in attempt to provide for her kids in the only way she can. Depends on your point of view.

I can just remember the machine going off pretty frequently and thats always stayed with me.

My main thing is as others have said, cancer effects millions of people yet the only main stream media exposure it'll get now for a while will be whats happening to Jade, I just hope she doesnt trivialise it and manages to keep her mouth shut and not spout of incoherrant un-educated ignorant cr*p as IMHO is her way.

Like I said I wouldnt wish it on anybody, I just think its ridiculous that shes not famous for doing anything apart from being on big brother with her "kebab" out I just dont think its news worthy thats all.

With the disease spreading to her liver, bowel and a tumour in her groin this disease will take her and i`d imagine before the year is out. I can`t say I have feelings for Jade Goody either way but nobody deserves the prognosis she has. As others have said people are being diagnosed and dying every day but they don`t make the headlines.

However Jade has said that the reason she has invited the publicity and the cameras into her home to watch her treatment etc is to raise money in order to provide for her 2 sons after her death.... I don`t have a problem with that.

Exactly my view

The point is, she's a young lass who has been told she needs to fight for her life with two little lads to think about and I just think it's a very sad situation. It does happen to so many families and when this sort of thing is brought up you are reminded of the drastic effects cancer has, just makes you appreciate what you have.

I personally think this sort of thing should be in the news, it's bound to shock people and raise awareness, and not take these things for granted. She's only young after all.

I didn't put this up for people to slag her off, have some respect guys. If she was someone else you'd no doubt react differently, just because she's been dubbed a numpty by the press and she's not the fittest bird on the block

So being a millionare is not enough money for the kids?? your right claire no one deserves a diagnosis like that however she doesnt deserve the limelight or the money she is getting, i guess trash news sells papers, i have never met the person but there is a reason that not many people like her, and i suspect its because she is not a very nice person. Having lost a parent to this i realy sympathise but im sorry i dont want to read about her in the papers or on the news because i dont think she has earnt the recognition..

Well the wikipedia article about her says she bought a Bentley Grand Continental last year. Thats £130K's worth of car. The cynic in me says shes probably not short of a bob or two....

It blows my mind why people talk about her so much i mean why was this thread even started?? has she earnt her recognition? and place in the limelight?
