Jade Goody in her last few days

Recommended Posts

It looks like Jade has tragically just days left at the most. When I first heard she was dying I assumed she would see the year out at least. I didn't think it would come so soon - particularly for such a young healthy girl. She didn't deserve this.

It is now a matter of hours - Jade deteriorated overnight and is close to the end - http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/news/218387/Jade-Goody-fears-sleep-because-shes-scared-shell-never-wake-as-close-friends-and-family-gather.html

Not meaning to be insensitive.... but certain newspapers have been predicting her death "in the next few days" for weeks now. It's sad that someone so young is dying from cancer and it is a poignant reminder that no one is invincible and of the importance of cancer screening.

Private Eye had some interesting stuff about the U-turns certain journalists have made in their opinions of Jade and her now husband. It shows how fickle journalists really can be.

Well I chose "next few days" based upon the fact they are now reporting she has just hours to live.

I feel realy guilty Ive been wishing for her death since the big brother race row I hated her when she was diagnosed with cancer part of me wanted her to die but part of me knew she would get cured somehow but she hasnt no shes possibly only got days left i feel realy gulilty and mad with my self for eating her to die. I know realise I dont hate her that she has a family and kids who love her so very much and her developing cancer has raised awereness and has possibly saved thousands of womens lifes she is a brave woman whos only current goal in life is to make as much money so her children can lead a a happy life with the best education possible. Jade is no longer my hate figure but one of the people I look up to for insperation I hope that a miracle happens and she is saved.

Look she is a mother, so it's very sad for her kids. I wouldn't want anyone to die- but the media hysteria sickens me.

<quote>Sunday's News of the World was filled with a heartrending exclusive with the cancer-stricken Jade Goody across pages 4' date=' 5, 6 and 7. In an emotional interview with Carole Malone, Goody recounted her devastation and her feelings about her "beloved boys". Malone told readers that Jade was looking "beautiful, radiant even" and that "bright, bubbly, indefatigable Jade" has a "resoluteness about her, a strength that is hard to fathom". So it must have been a different Carole Malone who on April 2006 wrote in the Sunday Mirror that Goody had "tumbleweed for brains" and "all the charm of your average slug" and was as "thick as a brick outhouse". A different Malone who wrote on June 11 2006 in the Sunday Mirror that Goody was "the size of a shed?" Or on October 2005 when she opined that Goody was a "talentless vulgarian". The year before Malone told readers Goody needed a "head transplant" and when Jade actually gave birth to her "beloved" son in 2003, Malone told Sunday Mirror readers: "Ex Big Brother inmate Jade Goody has given birth to a bouncing baby boy. One can only hope that little Bobby Jack turns out to be good at sport. With a mum who thinks East Anglia is 'abroad' he won't be going to Oxford." We could go on.</quote>[/quote']

This article is quite distasteful- but worth reading.

The Great British Public have been addressing the real issues of the day in there tributes to Jade:

Who plucked this rose?

'I' said the master

And the gardener held his peace.

Good night, God bless Jade. x x

Whenever I look at my beautiful jade bracelet, I will think of you and your beautiful green eyes that sparkle like my bracelet that will live on forever.

i aM SO MOVED BY JADE (ANGEL) XXX'S PLITE. She is a inspiration 2 me, all the more beutiful with her bald head me and my mates are shavin our headz off for comic relief as well! For the queen of Essex not East Anglia lol lol lol xxxxx I will look after bobby for u promise. the whole cuntry will. Cant belive david cameron will not do it after his tragic loss xxxxivanxxxxxx

What everyone is forgetting, although sadly it wont help Jade now, is that had the NHS picked up on the symptoms she was suffering from over the past few years she probably would not be in the position she is in now. I think the doctors who have treated Jade have a lot to answer for. A young mum is dying after being admitted to hospital on a couple of occasions and the doctors found nothing wrong, yet Jade is now terminally ill. How can this be? Fuck you Gordon Brown I hope you die of cervical cancer.

i am sitting here cryin my eyes out..oh jade i cant believe your goin 2 die ur boys will no u were a fantastic mother..u did your very best for them boys.they will never forget u...u will never be forgottten x

INSPIRATIONAL

BRAVE

COURAGEOUS

BEAUTIFUL

TRUE

MOTHER

AND ABOVE ALL RESPECT TO YOU FOR STILL SMILING

GOD BLESS

You've been wishing for people to die? Nice.

I'm afraid a miracle cure doesn't really exist for cancer, so that is quite unlikely.

At least she's raising money for her children, and stuff.

i neither like or dislike Jade, she is famous for being a idiot in BB & i have no interest in anyone that has been in the BB house, so just because she is dieing makes no difference in my opinion of her.

with regards to the whole media frenzy around her, it appears that she is the only person to have ever had cancer & i suppose its a good thing that it has raised awareness that cancer can affect younger people.

I don't think you should be too hopeful of them developing a cure and adminstering it to Jade in a matter of hours.

I think everyone needs to remember that although this is tragic, there are thousands and thousands of other people dying of cancer and many of them have had more difficult fights or done it completely alone.

I'm glad that she has raised this awareness, though.

I think it is a very sad time for Jade and her family, but I find the excessive coverage tasteless.

It is definitely a positive thing that she wishes to raise awareness of cervical screening, an possibly lowering the age in England in line with what we have in Scotland, and alos to provide a future for her boys, but I personally have know enough families who are coping with cancer without having one person's story everywhere I look. I feel she should make the most of her time left in private.

It is really sad what is happening, someone so young, with such young kids who may or may not understand what is going on. When i go to uni i hope to study oncology (along with radiotherapy) i have lost many people to cancer and it is so sad that there isnt a cure for it yet, the survival rates are on the increase which is fantastic but still no cure.

I find it sad that she's dying so young, but she's a person that should never have been allowed a day on camera, quite bluntly. I feel most sorry for the young boys.

This said, many families struggle on with cancer, and don't get all these magazine deals, etc. They just have to get on with it. I think that's what makes people so angry with her.

Also, I was reading in paper that Jade Goody did not know that smear tests were required in life. D'uh. In so many ways, she's a fine representation of what is wrong with our Society today. Sorry!!

What? Did she just think the letters from her doctor were junk mail? They are also quite persistant- chasing you up with reminders. I know a lot of people are scared to go the first time, but, apart from being a little embarrassing, it doesn't hurt at all.

I know... that's the thing! It's more undignified than anything else!! But yeah, she must have been receiving the correspondence and chucking it!!! I saw this in one of the Sunday papers, and couldn't quite believe it initially, and then, considering she was involved, it kind of did make sense.

These tests pretty much saved my friend's life. They found pre-cancerous cells when checking her out, so she has to go for the smears annually rather than every 3 years.

It's best to go (like it or not) so anything odd can get dealt with quickly.

    • Dean in for Greg on Tuesday.
    • While it maybe doesn't the power it once has (where being on the A-List was a big deal), It's a big part of the station and I felt probably deserves it's own thread. Have to be honest I haven't been hugely enamored with the playlist in recent times. Radio 1 seem quite heavily wedded to it in weekdays (at least Monday-Thursday) which can lead to the station being repetitive if you listen throughout the day. Even a station like Capital who are known for their limited playlist seem to throw in some older tracks and artists ever so often whereas if it's not Something Songs, 10 Minute Takeover or Anthems you often struggle to hear a song from before 2018. The repetitive nature has been a thing for a while though to be fair - I recall early 2021 in particular it felt like Tiesto's 'The Business' and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers Licence' were played every other hour. Also certain Radio 1 favourites seem almost guaranteed a slot on the playlist even if they don't actually appear to be wildly popular with the target audience to justify it. I get it with your Dua Lipas, Calvin Harrises, Fred Agains  and Olivia Rodrigos as they're all very popular but less so if it's say Cat Burns, Aitch, Royal Blood or Mabel. Which is fine to an extent as Radio 1 has often focussed on promoting new music but then you have great music by other new artists that just never makes it to the playlist as a result.
    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable?? 
    • I dunno if it is me but even Vick and Katie don't sound as good in that slot alone as they did before. Maybe I have just fallen out of love with it all.
    • Agree with most of this above. Listening to only vick and katie today, I was thinking that it doesn't need Jamie. Its very jarring how sometimes he's there and sometimes he isn't. I don't think it needs to be a trio. Surely there are bigger problems at the moment, Danny on a pretty big slot on the station is literally unlistenable.
    • Yes, the length of the time on the station does help as with Annie Mac she did what dance specialist DJs kind of get a bit more favourability with the evening listeners who start out on something specialist. With Annie Mac she did years on dance before going to the flagship new music specialist programme with giving opportunities to new DJs and curating the playlist and having something different from Clara’s more music daytime show where she had to work with the playlist. Had she done more time doing a specialist show later on in the schedule it may have oddly made the moment bigger. Think sometimes what has helped create such a unique sound in presenters and personalities like Annie Mac, Jack and Grimmy for example starting out doing a late show with looser format. Think for the next Jack, Annie and Clara’s of the station do need to have a late live slot and do hope when radio 1 relax is shut down that maybe they change the power down playlist for something with bit more freedom.
    • She is a good broadcaster no doubts but am of the same page with feelings mutual.
    • Clara was always a decent, competent and even good music radio presenter. But equally, she never provoked really strong emotions in me that I must listen or must switch off.
    • Jamie is definitely very divisive though.  Some people's "radio comedy gold" is other people's "unlistenable".  I have liked Matt and Mollie, Matt on his own, Mollie and Jordan etc etc.  But couldn't listen to Matt with Jamie. No hate on Jamie but I just don't like his sense of humour.
    • The dynamics of this are interesting.  Jordan works best with people he knows and he already knows Chris and Sian so from day one it should sound fairly natural.  
    • Have an amazing birthday Scott!  Looking forward to Tuesday! 
    • This has to be a joke right. This is so Scott Mills 🤣
