Despite treatment, Jade Goody’s cervical cancer has spread to her bowel, groin and liver. The star is now looking at treatment to prolong her life rather than for a total cure. A new miracle drug, Hycamtin, may offer the reality TV star some hope. This ‘last line of defence’ may be able to buy her the gift of a little more time with her sons, aged just 4 and 5.
In the Sun, Jade said, “I am devastated. I am frightened and I am angry. I don’t want to die because I have so much to live for. The reality is I have gone from a 40 per cent chance of a cure to seeing how long I can stay alive. The whole thing is absolutely terrifying. To try and remain positive, I am hoping a new type of treatment will suppress and control the cancer, which is very aggressive. I am in a nightmare.”
