JADE Goody celebrity cancer: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at Jade Goody’s celebrity cancer with Jade’s last gift, Jade’s Oxygen and a quad bike..
Sunday Mirror: “JADE’S LAST GIFT TO HER BOYS”
The last gift. After:
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; Jade’s last view, Jade’s last breath, Jade’s last Mother’s Day and Jade’s last wish.
It’s Mother’s Day.
Sunday Mirror: “TOO ILL TO SEE BOYS - EXCLUSIVE Jade in Mother’s Day heartache”
Jade Goody’s sons have been told they cannot spend her last Mother’s Day with her as she is too ill. She has been almost completely unconscious since Friday. She last spoke three days ago, when she sang in a garbled voice.
A friend said: “Since then she hasn’t said anything. She also isn’t able to eat and has only had the odd sip of Coke for the past nine days.”
And…
Husband Jack Tweed, 21, will be sentenced on Thursday for assaulting a taxi driver - and fears he will be jailed and miss her final hours. A pal said: “He couldn’t bear to hear the news from there.”
Over to you, Jack Straw…
The People: “JADE IN A COMA – Family at her bedside for last kiss goodbye”
Friends and family fear the cancer stricken TV reality star will not wake up again - but at least her pain is over. Jade, 27, lost consciousness at her home in Upshire, Essex, 24 hours before Mother’s Day when she had hoped to see her sons Bobby, five, and Freddie, four, for the last time.
Time for us to look away…
Her heartbroken family gathered around her bedside whispering personal messages to her. Mum Jackiey, 50, patted Jade’s brow and told her how much she was loved.”
Who is there to record such personal messages?
Her publicist Max Clifford said: “Jade’s big heart has kept her going but this really does seem like the end.”
A friend said: “It’s best she passes on and doesn’t wake again. We all love her dearly and don’t want her to suffer any more pain. It is time to join the angels.”
So what’s Jade up to?
When a cancer sufferer slips into a coma their breathing changes gradually before it completely stops. They slip slowly into unconciousness [sic] and feel dreamy. Eventually the victim cannot be woken at all but sometimes it’s possible they can hear those around them, or be aware that there are people there.
Can’t be woken… like, you know, dead?
No matter what their conscious state, the dying person will have a sense of what is happening around them, even if they can’t communicate.
Was ever Jade…
News of The World: “Dying Jade slips into 48hr ‘coma’”
Adams and Tweed left the house separately around lunchtime. Jade’s husband looked distraught as he climbed into a friend’s car and, asked how Jade was, replied: “Sleeping”.
What make and model of car, Max?
But he joked that his mother-in-law Jackiey Budden, seen wiping away tears outside the house yesterday, had had a spray tan after Jade said she had to look her best at her funeral.
Forty minutes later personal trainer Adams and a friend returned carrying M&S and Clinton Cards bags. Tweed arrived back at the house shortly after 5.30pm clutching a bunch of roses.
Roses by..? Come on, Max. Don’t take your eye off the ball now.
Mail on Sunday: “Jack Tweed leaves Jade’s bedside to buy a moving Mother’s Day card”
As Jade Goody clung to life today her new husband Jack Tweed left her bedside to buy a moving Mother’s Day card.
It carried the message: ‘A mum is like a tea bag; only in hot water do you realise how strong she is.’ A teacup on the card bore the message: ‘Love you, Jade’.
It is not known whether Jade, or her mother Jackiey, will receive the card; it would be equally suitable for both.
This would be Jackiey Goody, the mother who has been such a tower to strength in her daughters’ life?
Star on Sunday: “JADE’S A BLOOMING MARVEL!”
BATTLING Jade Goody’s brave fight against cancer has been boosted by flower power. Dying Jade, 28, has stunned doctors by defiantly clinging on to life. And pals say the amazing influx of flowers from fans has helped keep her going.
As well as giving Jade a ‘feelgood factor’ they have filled her house with oxygen, which has helped her breathing.
Flowers by… Max? Max!
And Jade has bought them a very special Mother’s Day present to help keep them occupied. The kind-hearted star has splashed out on a top-of-the-range £550 Kazuma Wombat 50 quad bike for the boys to play around on.
Jade Goody - a death in soundbites…

Some of you are sick having a joke about a young women dying the most painful death, regardless if you like her or not, there is no need to make a joke of it its disgusting.

R.I.P in Jade,feel for your sons, so young to loose their Mum, but by going public with your suffering you have given them money for their lives, but that will never replace their Mum. Now you are at peace, my Mum died of cancer, and I saw the suffering, So sorry

PeterMac, they were (in ideal at least) trying to SAVE over 20,000 jobs. As the last truly powerful trade union, the NUM had to show solidarity with its members. Ian MacGregor had gutted the nationalised steel industry with the remit of making it profitable. It almost became so. Look at it now. Maggie thought she could do better with imported Polish coal.
And speaking of Poland, this is perhaps an unfair question, but would you have called the police on the Solidarity movement if you had worked at those shipyards?
I saw both sides of it, PeterMac. Some of my relatives were in the Deputies union, NACODS. They did not, could not strike. Someone had to keep those mines from flooding or being wrecked in firedamp explosions. There weren’t enough of them though. Some pits were condemned for lack of maintenance work.
At that time, in that situation…yes, I would have been on the picket line preventing you from going to work. Hopefully, if they have to re-open some of those mines to offset gas costs from the Russia/Ukraine stranglehold, we won’t find ourselves arguing over a brazier. Hypothetically.

Who?
March 22nd, 2009 at 7:24 pm
RIP Jade Goody!! We will never ever forget you!!

magnetite:
EDITED Have you ever heard of coal-yakking? …Many men of those mining families were there in the same grossly undignified scrabbling.”
They were on strike. They had jobs but were refusing to work. And furthermore they were trying to prevent people who wished to work from doing so. Just try to think about your job and what you would do if I, by force and by use of actual or threats of violence, tried to prevent you from doing it.
Correct. You would call the Police and have me arrested.

March 22nd, 2009 at 4:58 pm

March 22nd, 2009 at 1:13 pm
A sad loss for her poor children.
I hear Jack is devastated by the news that Jade wishes to be buried in her wedding dress; thereby ruining his plans for an ‘eBay auction and pizza’ party.
March 22nd, 2009 at 12:44 pm
I hear he’s not getting as much as you think.
March 22nd, 2009 at 11:57 am
AT LAST SHE IS DEAD.
Now can we get back to some sense of normality and not throw our star addled adulation at complete losers.
Sad for the boys and all that but hey, mums and dads die every day and children have to deal with it.
Bet Jack Tweed is whooping and celebrating now singing “I’m in the money, I’m in the money”.

Oh, and she took our school milk away…but yes, C&C, Scargill was an arsehole too.
March 22nd, 2009 at 10:34 am
She cowed and ruled (and yes, even charmed) her front bench and the majority of her cabinet C&C. There were, I seem to remember few backbench revolts in those, her early successful years. I was not really politically-minded before the miner’s strike but soon learned that, like Churchill before her, she turned her back on the miners when their efforts were no longer needed to fuel the forges and the engines of war.
March 22nd, 2009 at 10:05 am
I don’t pretend to know the hardships or to really understand the politics behind everything that went on, but surely one woman alone can’t be responsible for that? Same as Gordon Brown isn’t solely responsible for the recession.
Prime Ministers play a part in policies but it is the governemnt of the time as a whole that is responsible.
I well remember the strikes against the pit closures and the deprivation the miners suffered (though of course not the Union leaders) and I’ve always felt that the blame should have been more widely spread then focused on Margaret Thatcher.
But then history is littered with events like there.
And of course this is all only my opinion….. I was lucky not be a part of it.

C&C, primarily (but not wholly) because I am from a mining family. Have you ever heard of coal-yakking? I’m not sure of the spelling as I don’t think I ever saw it written down, but Oop North here it was a term for scouring pit-heaps and the wasteground around the mines for little pieces of coal deemed too small (the biggest the size of a man’s topmost thumb joint, most as small as a little finger’s nail) or too low-quality for use or sale.
I watched my father and brother crawling on their hands and knees in this pit-debris for hours every day (my help was politely refused by them as I was considered too young) just to heat our home. They were not the only ones there. Many men of those mining families were there in the same grossly undignified scrabbling. There were often fights for those scraps of rubbish coal among men with frozen, bleeding fingers. Unscrupulous (or desperate) folk would steal the coal you had yakked if you turned your back on it for too long. It was like the destroyed Vienna of The Third Man to me at that young age. All this in a nation that was experiencing booms among the financial and housing sectors. All this in a first-world country.
I saw the wounds of - and the blood covering - family members who, for having the temerity to strike and picket, were beaten from horseback by soldiers dressed as policemen.
All this under Maggie’s iron glare. All this at her taloned hand. Though I do not know her personally, I think I have a right to loathe her for that.
March 22nd, 2009 at 9:15 am
Magnetite… how can you loathe someone that much when you don’t know them? (If you do know Mrs T then apologies!)
March 22nd, 2009 at 9:02 am
At least you have the dead celebrity artifacts auction to look forward to.
Maybe something merry in Jade’s collection to wear when Lady T pops her clogs.
March 22nd, 2009 at 8:45 am
Rest in peace dear Jade. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers at this very sad time, god give them the strength too get through the next few days. i am praying for your 2 little boys, god bless everyone, Goodbye Jade xxxxxxxxxx
March 22nd, 2009 at 8:31 am
I knew I was going to say this eventually, but my fingers still don’t want to type it.
Jade Goody - Rest in the peace that you didn’t want, that we never gave you, and that you now have no choice over. Shorn of all the trappings of Clifford’s Celebrity Circus, you are now just another life sadly lost too early for your family. No celebrations from me. I’m saving the wild jig of delight for when Lady Thatcher goes, as I truly loathed her.
Next!
March 22nd, 2009 at 8:07 am
Just seen on Sky newsflash that she has died.
Regardless of all the Clifford-hype etc she was just a 27 year old with two young sons who should have had the majority her life ahead her. I have a daughter around that age and its hard to relate to. So very sad…….

“The kind-hearted star has splashed out on a top-of-the-range £550 Kazuma Wombat 50 quad bike for the boys to play around on.”
So by tonight they too will be in intensive care, next to their mother. But at least they will be able to afford private treatement.
