Celebrity Quote Of The Day: Jade Goody’s Cancer Agent
JADE Goody The Hoody has a form of cancer. She is told the news on the telly. “What’s wrong?” ask her housemates on India’s Big Brother. Says Jade, as recorded by the Sun:
“I can not tell you because my agent needs to tell my family. I need my family to know first.”
It’s a paradox wrapped in a kebab…

Oh dear. Says it all really. Sad….

What is wrong with the people in this country, have they lost all dignity and self worth that they feel good only when drawing others down to their level. Love to know how they would deal with cancer knowing that they have two small children who need them. You ought to be ashamed.

I don’t know - I thought coolandcalm was being really nice about it.

Poor wee Jade.
But the girl is savvy. She went on the show knowing she was going to get the results and that it wasn’t looking good and she allowed it to be shown on T.V. She’s going to be able to sell her fight and hopefully her recovery to all the media outlets and it’s bound to be sympathetic (except maybe for a few hacks in the tabloids).
The front cover of Heat awaits… (and I thought she was finished…
).

Strange though how she was not on the first flight out to be with her children and tell her family herself though isnt it? Wouldnt that be the only thing that was in you mind?? Getting back to the people that love you.

DISAPPOINTED! And so say I! Jade is a remarkable personality - and given her back-ground she has done really well in life. People warm to this woman and I am one of them.
I’m wishing her well and just know that she’ll make a fab come-back and get another chance with the public - who are only jealous because they can’t get paid to be themselves and have to do a mundane job.
Good Luck and Love to Jade Goody! Go Girl!

Thank goodness there are some decent people out there Coco, who just see people for what they are ‘people’ just getting by and doing their best. Yes her story will be followed and I am pleased about that as I for one will be worrying and caring that all is well and how else would I know. We get ordinary people and we follow their dream and then we smash them to pieces in this country. Look at Fern Britton, lovely women, not a bad bone in her body and she is splashed all over the front page just because she has the nerve to think she has a choice in her own life. Julia, think good thoughts it is so much more rewarding for everyone.

Well, the woman has an enormous mouth. Her english must be from a grid in Tilbury. Who needs the big C, when she`s born with this much crap.

Please re-submit this in a more comprehensible form for other posters. I am having difficulties in understanding what you are trying to say here. Ms Goody however, always get straight to the point.

i wish her all the best.

There seems to be few middle of the road feelings with regard to Jade G. Love her or loathe her seems to be it. One or the other. Reagrdless of that though, it seems unnecessary to get personal Alan O.
How she speaks is irrelevant surely?
August 21st, 2008 at 9:49 am
Coolandcalm!!! ‘How she speaks is irrelevant surely?’
Are you for fucking real???
Or have you had a Coco-conversion?
Thanks for letting Jade be Jade. And I will carry on being Coco. Thanks.

‘Keeping tabs on the tabloids’?? Who’s keeping tabs on u? So what if Jade has made a few boobs (pardon the pun!) in her life, who hasn’t. Being diagnosed with cancer is the most terrifying experience you can have, I’ve been there! I was horrified when I found how she was given her diagnosis never mind how flippant u are about it. How dare u?!
August 21st, 2008 at 2:28 pm
GOOD LOOK .With the fight with the big C .
You be your self always that is what will get you through this.
Stuff all those who write crap about you .
Fight on all our love

I have been reading some of the comments about Jade Goody, and while personally, I don’t like the girl because of her previous antics i.e. Shilpa etc, I wish her every good wish for her future in regards to her cervical cancer…. Nobody in their right mind would wish this on their worst enemy….Only time and treatment will tell if this is curable or terminal,but I can only feel sympathy and compassion for her…and I would like to think that we are a humanitarian nation, and that I was not alone in wishing her a complete recovery.
August 21st, 2008 at 3:15 pm
You guys are all scousers, right?
August 21st, 2008 at 6:08 pm
Does it matter if it’s Jade Goody or the woman next door. If your a decent person you wouldn’t want anyone to have Cancer to many people have it already. POOR JADE YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS.
August 21st, 2008 at 6:28 pm
those people thathave said some horrible things about jade should be ashamed
i hope she gets through it cuz my mum had it and she was fine
good luck jade
August 21st, 2008 at 6:38 pm

M and A
Children apart, still no reason to not feel for her
August 21st, 2008 at 11:28 pm
I WISH JADE WELL, I HOPE SHE RESPONDS WELL AND GOES ON TO HAVE A HAPPY AND LONG LIFE WITH HER CHILDREN, I WORKED WITH CANCER PATIENTS WHILST RECEIVING THEIR TREATMENT, IT IS A TERRIBLE ILLNESS AND NOBODY DESERVES TO BE FIGHTING THIS HORROR WHATEVER WALK OF LIFE THEY COME FROM, CREED, COLOUR OR BACKGROUND. GOOD LUCK JADE WE ARE ALL THINKING OF YOU.

i cannot believe some of the things i have just read.im going through cervical cancer at the moment for the 2nd time in 3 years and i can tell you now,i would not wish this on my worst enemy.i am a young woman to 2 small children and what we as a family have been through is terrifying.i have lost my hair etc after undergoing chemo and it was only yesterday that i went for my results following a body scan.thankfully it looks like the cancer has gone and if after a further scan all is well,then i will be undergoing major,major surgery so for people to make nasty comments on such a serious and life threatening condition,i suggest they understand it first.i wish you all the luck in the world jade,i really do.xx
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:28 am
i have alway liked jade no matter what she have done, she is real and down to earth what you see is what you get, love her hate her none deserves to have cancer, but she will fight this thing and will come out on top, she has had to fight hard to get where she is today, you go girl go kick arse best of luck always ann x
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:54 am
I just hope that she is not to late and can have the treatment needed to get rid of this nastie cancer I feel for her and her family .
August 22nd, 2008 at 11:48 am
I think she should be left alone to deal with this bad news,she may have gone on tv knowing she was expecting results but nobody really expects to hear such bad news for all she knew it could have been her appendix,i think the girl gets too much bad press she has made a few mistakes but who hasn’t in their lifetime.I find it really cruel to be putting her down and making fun of her at such a serious time in her life she went on there to earn money to keep her family secure good luck to her anyone would do it for the sake of their kids,my thoughts go out to her and her family and i hope she makes a full recovery.
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:44 pm
First of all, Yamster, dont start on the Scousers!
Id just like to say some of the remarks from people have been discusting!
Imagine if it was you who had it or your mum or best friend, would you be making the same comments, i dont think so!
Doesnt matter who she is, how she talks, dresses, wipes her arse, nothing, the fact is she has Cancer so i think a few of you need to grow up!
Good luck Jade, ill be thinking of you.
August 22nd, 2008 at 5:00 pm
wish you all the best jade you will come through it you are a fighter
GOOD LUCKXXXXXX

I do hope this message will reach Jade. Jade i’d like to wish you all the very best, I know exactly how scared you are feeling. Ive been there. Last 0ctober I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer, i was utterly gutted and terrified. Luckily it was caught in the early stages and I have made a complete recover. I had no choice but to have a hysterectomy but i came through it and im fine now. Like all things if its caught early which yours has then there is no reason why you shouldnt make a complete recovery. My thoughts are with you. Its easy for people to say “I know what youre going through” but unless theyve experienced it they cant know. I do hope this message reaches you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I wish you all the very best for a speedy recovery and for the future.

I used to like Jade a lot! I voted for her to win in BB years ago. Then I met her in real life after booking an appointment to see her at her salon in Hertford. I was treated really badly by her and her colleague Carly had to pick up the pieces and make things good again. My feelings changed for her after that. And to be honest, I cannot say for sure my being black did not have anything to do with the way she treated me. As much as I dislike her, I feel sorry for her and hope she recovers. But, I do think having her results publicised in the public eye was a PR move. How many other female celebrities have their smear results or medical diagnosis publicised at the time they hear them. Maybe she knew before, only she can tell. I feel the results are real but it was used to her advantage… it’s so obvious! She needed something really big to have the public warm to her again. She already done the baby daddy left me story, the philandering boyfriend story, the weightloss story and the major comeback from scandal story, other than a tragedy befalling her, her sons or her mum, what else is there? She’ll be back in no time on the sofa of breakfast TV being the new cancer comeback story. And before anyone comments on the cancer comment, I too had cervical cancer! The blessing out of this is that she has had her kids early and probably made a lifelong friend out of the lovely compassionate, understanding Shilpa! And in time, she will probably have more black and asian friends. I would rather have Jade in my life than Alexandra De Gale!

Patsy, I remember Kylie Minogue coping with breast cancer in a remarkable way, and her strength must have helped and inspired others too
