Oh it was so sad but so happy. My heart is breaking for her.

[Rachel F]

Sorry, not me. I've every sympathy for her but am a bit sick of seeing pics on the front page of every magazine, paper etc every day.
It's as if there's nothing better for the rags to write about, when there are hundreds of other people on this planet dying every day.

Sorry to seem a bit hard hearted, but I have just come away from watching a presentation to a local horse rider who has won a major competition. Yet, in the background, very few people know that she has been struggling in pain against cancer for a long time now and her recent prognosis is not good. She has a young family too, including one disabled young daughter. No songs, no dances, just quietly getting on with her life and trying to keep things as normal as possible.

Her situation is no different to Jade's, apart from not being able to afford all the publicity that Jade is getting.

Yea your right Vicky it was so sad yet happy with it.

I agree in so many ways - but I do think that she has raised the awareness of cervical cancer and the importance of screening - you only have to look at how many HB'ers have made appts in the last few weeks to see that it is prompting women to get screened.

I dont like Jade Goody, I find her loud mouthed, crass and rude - but I so feel for the children and for her knowing that they are going to grow up without her - as a Mother, its my biggest fear and I suppose its like watching my biggest nightmare and trying to understand how she can be so calm and determined to make as much money for them before she dies.

I dont think we will have to 'put up with it for long' - I saw a picture on the front of a paper when I went to the shop yesterday and she looks like its nearly over.

Any way to watch it online? I think Jade is probably a lovely person and just plays to the camera :)

I feel the same way...However to watch the programme unfold was heartbreaking.The little boys dont know what the hell is around the corner for them.Children being children,playing up,crying oblivious to what is happening.In a few days she wont be with them no more.

The pictures of her when she was in better health and enjoying herself was just too much for me...I cried my eyes out.

Yes I know that there are millions of people out there going through the exact same thing,but if nothing else can come from seeing this everyday on the paper and on t.v,at least she as brought awareness to this terrible disease,and young women can go have regular smears and catch it in time should they be diagnosed soon enough.

I can tell you hand on heart that I would not be as brave has her knowing that my days were numbered.She is an inspiration to us all in a way.Irrespective if she is 'gobby'-she knows this herself.I hope when its my turn I will have a little of her courage to help me meet my maker.

[Leah]

Agreed :( I am going to make my appt too, put it off too long already, is a humbling reminder [especially after the kilimanjaro footage as well] that moan as we do, we have a health service available to us when in other countries there is nothing.....

I couldn't watch though, and I haven't watched most of the other progs. I think she has done a wonderful job of raising awareness, but I can't bear to look at her and her boys and peep on these moments. I know we're invited, because she has invited the whole world, but I feel wrong watching her. :(

[spicey]

Didn't watch it... she is a brave lady, no matter what people think about her. And I take my hat off to her for bringing about so much awareness of this terrible disease. :(

If my cousin in law hadn't been living in Wales, she could have been like Jade.... she was very early 20s.... Our daughters in England should get the same screening as those in Wales and Scotland.

[Mochali]

Oh dear!

[capricciosababs]

she might not have lived the sort of live some of us approve of, but shes been very brave about this terrible terminal illness and its awful for anyone so young to learn that they dont have very long - her legacy will surely be the awareness of this disease in younger women who havent thought about it before, and if it saves only a few due to early diagnosis and going for a simple smear test, then thats something very very good she has done for others... I hope and pray her remaining days are peaceful and as painfree as possible as she takes time with her two sons theyre so little to be left...

[nose leather]

Yes, I watched it too and shed tears for her and her family.

She is so very brave.

[PaulPinkPants]

I agree with many of you she is loud and gobby but you only got to look at her mum to see where she gets that from, I think she has been so so brave i know that if it was me i would have gone to bits, it was bad enough find out about my HIV which of course can be kept under control.
