JADE Goody celebrity cancer: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at Jade Goody’s celebrity cancer with the Last Rites Video, no Shilpa Shetty and the last words…
The Sun: “JADE: Don’t let my sons see me die”
Turn off the telly. Stop the cameras. Hide the control for the Sky Plus.
The Sun: “Dying Jade: ‘I Hope I Gave You A Laugh’”
The Sun: “Jade’s last look at sunny fields”
JADE Goody was propped up in bed yesterday — to catch one last glimpse of the sun-kissed fields before she dies.
Last acts are the tabloids’ filler. We have to dare seen: Jade’s last interview, Jade’s last wedding, Jade’s last dress, Jade’s last fight, Jade’s last slice of toast, Jade’s last Christening, Jade’s last party, Jade’s Last Rites and now we have Jade’s last view…
The Times: “Jade Goody’s last time on TV”
Now Magazine: Says Jade in her last column (?):
“I was knackered after the hour-and-a- half journey back to Essex, so I spent the rest of Wednesday sleeping it off. I hadn’t seen (sons) Bobby and Freddy since the christening, so I really wanted to see their faces and give them a big hug. They’ve been staying with their dad, Jeff (Brazier).
“He picked them up from school on Thursday and brought them straight to see me. Little Freddy was so excited. He was the first one in the front door. I was so emotional, I burst into tears. I was so happy to see them. They stayed for about three hours and we spent the time playing and cuddling.”
She continues:
“It’s horrible saying goodbye not knowing if I’ll see them again. I just want us to spend as much time together as we can.”
Adding:
“Can you believe I got a message from Michael Jackson? The king of pop! I’ve always been a massive fan. I love him. He got his people to call the hospital because he wanted to speak to me and wish me well. But I was asleep! What am I like? So he recorded a little answerphone message and Jack (husband Jack Tweed) played it to me.”
Jackson has a new concert to promote.
Daily Star: “I’ll never see my dear boys again”
Daily Star: “RONAN KEATING’S CD IS STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART”
RONAN Keating has created the perfect gift for mums everywhere on Sunday by recording an album called Songs For My Mother. But his own mum Marie will never hear the collection. She died of breast cancer a decade ago…
Watching 27-year-old Jade Goody’s public battle with terminal cancer has brought back some painful memories for Ronan.
Daily Star: “JADE’S LAST RITES – Video”
A video of Jade’s Last Rites.
Sify: “Shilpa Shetty unable to meet Jade Goody”
Says Shilpa:
“When I left for London on Sunday, I thought I’d be able to meet her but her condition has deteriorated further. She’s heavily drugged and hardly awake. I really want to meet her but unfortunately only her mother and husband are allowed to be with her. I’ve no choice but to respect that.”
And tell the papers.
“I really feel terrible about what has happened to her. All I can do is pray. I’m not giving up hope of seeing her one last time.”
Isn’t prayer a private matter?
Shilpa Shetty unable to meet Jade Goody
It’s a Lloyd-George-knew-my-father moment. Surely:
UK & World News Jade ‘too ill’ for Shilpa visit
Irish Independent: “Let’s hear about heroes, not cowards” – Letters:
A lot of people have turned their noses up at the media coverage of Jade Goody. They have found her very public journey toward death distasteful, arguing that such things should be kept private.
There is one thing I’m certain of.
I’d rather hear about the Jade Goodys of this world — their valiant struggles against illnesses like cervical cancer and their attempts to raise money for their children’s education while at the same time raising awareness of the illness — than have to read about animals who kill policemen and unarmed soldiers collecting pizzas.
Daily Mirror – Sue Carroll: “Sympathy? Kerry Katona’s right out of credit”
Perhaps it’s just a bizarre coincidence but Kerry Katona, who can hardly draw breath without the oxygen of publicity, managed to eclipse Jade Goody last week with tales of her own domestic woes. The fact that her failing marriage to former cabbie Mark Croft hardly compared to the tragedy of a young mother whose hours are numbered appeared to be lost on Kerry, determined to hog her share of the limelight.
Now read on…
And at the heart of this is a truth she seems unable to recognise – she is just 28 with four beautiful, healthy children. Kerry may think her life is a mess but I very much doubt Jade would see it that way.
Well, Jade isn’t bi-polar, is she, nor did she choose to be ill.
In February, Gordon Brown issued a statement about Jade Goody, saying: ‘It’s sad and tragic.
‘Her determination to help her family is something I applaud. I wish her well and know the whole country will be anxious about her health.’
He is expected to make a further statement if the former Big Brother contestant dies.
Will the Queen follow suit? ‘I am not aware any statement is planned,’ says a spokesman, ‘but, if one is made, it’ll be considered private.‘
Just scanned through the other threads on here and I think a lot of the posters on here need to seriously think about what they are saying. She got a lucky break on a tv reality show.She didnt kill anyone.She didnt do anyone any harm and she is going to die of cancer at the age of 27. I hope you lot who are gloating at her demise never have to go through what her kids are going to face in the next few years.What goes around comes around.You should be ashamed. – Jimmythemoonlight
Seeing her face on the front of just about every tabloid for the last few days has sickened me really. No dignity – Dibzzzz
South Wales Evening Post: “Has coverage of Jade Goody’s illness gone to far? Join the new debate”
Let’s have a heated debate.
Doctors in Wandsworth have seen an increase in the uptake of cervical smear tests thanks to the “Jade Goody effect”, one GP said this week.
The theory - which claims the number of women taking smear tests has increased since the Big Brother star’s cervical cancer diagnosis - is believed by some medical experts to be responsible for a 20 per cent increase in smear tests throughout the UK in recent months.

I have only just read some of these lovely e’mails in support of a very brave and courageous young lady, who has had the misfortune of being struck down by such a cruel killer.
Why cant people show some humility towards this brave young lady who only wants the very best for her children, and also for her family.
I cant believe some of the stupid comments made by some of the so called intelligent news writers, my god you should be all ashamed of yourselves, you live through them when they are alive and in the public eye and then question her motives during the time that she was fighting this disease.
Hold your hears in shame if you felt you had heard enough about Jade Goody’s fight for life, as i am sure one day the wheel will turn and you will be asking the same questions as she did, “why me” ? but she never once moaned of her situation she fought with dignity and always with a smile for the press.
So people think of all the good she has done for Cancer awareness.
“GOOD ON YOU JADE GOODY”
In respect of such a brave Lady

Some of your are sick people. How can you write such wicked things about the eminent death of a young woman who was full of life. Hate or Like her, she does not deserve such comments made by mindless people with mindless thoughts. There are always the few who sicken the many with tastless meaning of words! These actions prove that Jane may have not have received the best education but she had more morals and concerns than any of the people who have spoken disrespectful and in such a deplorable manner. She had compassion which is more than any of slanderers have!!!!! You are deplorable

REST IN PEACE JADE,
MY HEART N THOUGHTS GOES OUT TO ALL UR FRIENDS N FAMILY
March 22nd, 2009 at 2:26 pm
Not much use now. xx
Btw, I was there by her bedside with the power socket in my hands
Her real last words were “Friends applaud, the comedy is finished.”
or maybe just “bleurggggh…”

Goodbye Jade
You Will Be Sadly Missed xxxxx
March 21st, 2009 at 1:02 am
Maybe you should Dairy!!!
March 19th, 2009 at 6:43 pm
Yes, I Do Agree That Jade Is Like All Of Us So Why Should She Get Put On The News And In Magazines When People Die All The Time In Hospitals Of Cancer (eg My Grandad) But At The Same Time All The People That Make Jokes About Her And Say Things About Her In This World Need There Heads Sorted Out Because I Respect Jade So Much She Isnt An Atention Seeker I Think She Has Been So Bludy Brave I Dont Think I Could Ever Be That Brave, Think About Her Kids Her Family Shes Leaving Behind, But Atleast She Is Leaving Everyone Knowing She Is Loved, Jade Should Be Well Respected Yes She Might Not Of Done Alot But Letting Her Kids Have A Good Time And Not Be Stuck With Her Thinking She Is Going To Die Should Be Enough For Anyone, Her Kids Are Only 4 And 6 Give Her A Break
Luv Ya Jade XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
P.S People That Say I Hope You Get Better Need There Heads Tested To, SHE AINT EVER GUNNA GET BETTER

Well said Marcus!!!!

Bulldump and Lydia are absolutely vile for writing about Jade in such a way.
Yes, you are entitled to your opinion, but when your opinion is so heartless, maybe you should consider keeping it to yourself.
Every life is worth living, and she has never intentionally hurt anyone in the past 7 years. Yes, ok, she made mistakes, but if Shilpa can forgive, surely we can too. Other than the race row, what else has she done to cause offence - nothing. She is a brilliantly normal woman, who wouldn’t be where she is without us reading about and watching her. We, the British public, made Jade what she is today, and I for one am 100% glad we did.
Jade is courageous, and she obviously cares for her boys. Lydia, are you a mother? If you are, you would KNOW that she adores those boys. And if you are a mother, you should be even more ashamed. Any mother would understand - she wants the best for them, and good on her for providing a future for them in the only way she knows - columns, news-stories & TV shows.
The poor woman is 27 years old, and dying of cancer. There are two sides to every coin, but in my opinion, her public cancer battle has more positives than negatives. If Jade’s public battle urges more young women to take a smear test, and lowers the age (of smears) to 20 - as she hopes - then how can this be a bad thing on the whole?
My heart goes out to Jade in this troubling time - made worse by vicious comments like these. But more so, my heart goes out to Bobby & Freddy, who have to live a life without a mother. Nobody - let alone children - deserves to lose a parent so young.

…he is certainly a particular kind of prick….
I doubt very much whether Jade herself is in any kind of state to bother about what is going on press-wise around her at the moment - reports say that she is asleep 95% of the time… I feel very much that the whole unpleasant spectacle has been engineered by Mr Clifford and I don’t know how he lives with himself….
March 19th, 2009 at 8:53 am
Ooh I dunno, think it could be very entertaining , especially for JG -’ how I came back from the brink’ ‘Fatima and me’ ‘ Fatima, Jack ,the boys and me’ and so on.
Do you suspect Max Clifford is a founder member?
March 19th, 2009 at 8:39 am
yep, I think bad taste is putting it mildly - as are some of the more idiotic comments advising that if she visits a particular website, she will live and be saved….? are they living in cloud cuckoo land where terminal cancer miraculously disappears? please don’t insult the rest of us with your lack of intelligence…

Any human being who can bad mouth Jade Goody is uneducated and very jealous of how she managed to provide for her tw boys. She managed to get into the celebrity limelight however she did it she isnt living off tax payers money and is a very good loving caring mother. Nobody should put her down as tey never know when its going to be there turn.
March 18th, 2009 at 10:11 pm
i am the same age as jade and also have 2 young sons and its a big reality check when something like this happens.cant believe the comments that some people r making. there is no need to b nasty, if u dont have anything nice to say then dont bother. my heart goes out to all jades friends and family and her 2 boys. u lot who r filling this board with nasty messages should think about what those boys would feel if they ever read your comments!!!!!!

March 18th, 2009 at 12:42 am
i decided to dislike jade the moment i ever saw her. i just thought it would save me some time
March 18th, 2009 at 12:00 am
Sorry Dairy … didn’t suggest she was worthless or useless at all, perhaps you misread mine for Bulldump’s comments just above?
It’s a prick of a way to die.
Like MM, the fascination with this case is intriguing. And my theory is that in our society, we sanitise death, it’s often an invisible process. Hospitals and relieving drugs ease the transition to some extent thank god, and of course, young people die less often than old people thanks to modern medicine etc.
Jade Goody electing to play her illness and death for the public is an interesting novelty. Sad but interesting and there’s all that side show alley stuff around her too.
I don’t think she was worthless or useless, I don’t think many people are that but jeez louise, if you play it out in public then you take the goody with the baddy. Any Big Brother contestant from East Angular could tell you that.
March 17th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
If these unwittingly pro-mediaghouls and the Byronic Heathclifford (but definitely pro-Jade, whatever that may mean) posters are accessing Anorak from their mobile phones then I can forgive the ALLCAPS and acronym strewn gibberish.
Otherwise, work out what the long keys on your bloody keyboards do…please.
March 17th, 2009 at 8:54 pm
Jade has been very brave with facing her illness and inevitable death.
Weather or not some people agree with her doing this publicly or not I think its all being done with her huge heart for her kids and for other women who might face this disease. She is bringing cervical cancer awareness by speaking out about early screening. Because of Jade I did go and get tested. God is using her to help others in the world. Her job has been done and he is calling her back home to be with him. God Bless you Jade and your family and friends.

I discovered message boards and forums just after Madeleine McCann went missing. I wanted to find if any other people had suspicions about what happened that night and was interested in reading their opinions.
One thing I learnt very early on is, if I don’t like what someone is posting, I stop reading it. If I don’t like the tone of the message board/forum/comments on news articles, I quickly decide it’s not for me so I click my little close tab cross and don’t go there again.
I would never dream of posting a comment to call them sick or heartless or to wish death on them. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion so I just leave well alone.
But that’s just me eh?
