The Jade Goody Decade: The Ten-Year Plan And An Indian Take-Away
“I FEAR MY CANCER’S SPREAD,” says the Jade Goody-inspired headline on the Mirror’s cover.
This is not a metaphorical tabloid cancer, and right now millions of youths are not racially abusing Asians for our entertainment. This is real cancer. This is Jade Goody’s celebrity cancer.
News is that doctors have warned Goody that she “could have less than 10 years to live”.
Ten years..?
Anorak senses a pattern. We had ten years of post-crash Princess Diana. We have had ten years of new Labour. We are likely to have 10 years of the Madeleine McCann story. Might the Mirror and other tabs be setting itself up for a decade of easy reporting and cheap filler with 10 years of Jade’s cancer?
Staging posts in the Decade of Jade will be:
Her hysterectomy
Her chemotherapy
Her tears (“I can’t top crying”)
Her adoptions (“I am already thinking about adopting”- and what price an Indian take away?).
Her keep-fit video
And more…
Much depends on whether or not the cancer has spread to Jade’s lymph nodes. If not, then she has a higher than 90 per cent chance of survival, and the Jade decade may never some to fruition.
In the meantime, here’s Mahmoud Shafti, an oncologist, to tell readers all about Jade’s womb…

Hey there X, before you call other people uneducated and claim to guess their IQ based on comments, perhaps you should learn how to spell a word as simple as soul. You also seem to be saying that Jade’s job is to talk about herself, there was I thinking she was a pointless oxygen-stealer.

I lost my parents and family members within weeks of each other to cancer- this is NO laughing matter. If jade wants to sell her sole - she is within every right to do so! Your forgetting that is her job and her main source of income - would you like it if people critised you and your cancer on a huge public scale because you returned to work?
Get a grip ppl! niave uneducated and slander comments merely make you look stupid! and we can all guess your IQ from it!
Someday you may be in that position and if that happens - lets all jump on your bandwagon and slate your family off - wouldnt be nice now would it?
At this moment in time lets all wish her and her family all the very best and for a good outcome AND to all those out there facing the same battle - Chin Up!

I agree Jennifer. I think some of the comments are appauling.

All you people who have posted those absolutely disgusting comments are a disgrace…. I just hope that if one day you or a member of your family face a serious illness you are met with more sympathy than you are showing Jade Goody and her children at the moment…… it really is a shame that people like you exist in the world.

So she’s not popular then?

I have just made for myself a Jade Goody Count Down Till She Dies calendar and I have already stuck it on the wall, with the first day already crossed off.
When I get to the end, I think I’ll treat myself, a fancy from Hampshire’s maybe…

Jade Goody has cancer (allegedly) and her boyfriend is in jail and she is earning approx ten grand per interview / headline talking about it. (and she wants to adopt foreign baby girls)
Kerry Katona is bankrupt and depressed and wanting surgery and is earning the same for talking about it. (She has enough children of her own but one foreign one would be nice for the photo ops it would present)
Jordan is unhappy with her surgery and is having more to go alonside the post-natal depression and earning ten grand per interview to talk about it. (and she wants to adopt lots of foreign babies)
Okay… must get assorted young family members to re-think what seemed to be sensible careers.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in february 2008, on the nhs I had a bone scan and a ct scan and a mastectomy all within 3 weeks, seems to me for someone so ill jade is doing a lot of talking and not much is happening, anyone with cancer faces it on a private level its publicity and they should be ashamed theres no way you would think of adopting after cancer as you live everyday as if its your lAST

Has Clarence already got a new client?

But only the other day it was 3 months to live!
On this trend by next Friday it will be 400 years.
Looking on the bright side, she’ll have got US citizenship by 2112, so she can vote for Sarah Palin as President….
