 Cancer Ordeal of Jade Goody Revealed
British television celebrity Jade Goody, 27, has revealed the harrowing experience she is going through after being diagnosed with cervix cancer.

The chances that Goody may not survive the illness, and never see her two young sons grow up have left her emotionally wrecked.

"I''m fighting for my life," the Sun quoted her as saying as she broke down and wept uncontrollably.

To contain the disease, the Big Brother star will have to undergo a hysterectomy next week, after specialists pointed out that the urgent operation is required or she would die within three months from cervical cancer.

But even though the disease has now been discovered, Goody still has a big battle ahead of her, especially after doctors told her on August 21 that a large tumour in her womb might have spread to her blood stream.

If the tumour has spread, it could put major organs such as her liver and kidneys at risk.

"I''ve got no control over this disease and I''m bloody terrified. I am going to fight the damn thing every step of the way because I have two beautiful boys who are my world," she said.

"But I have to be realistic and face the possibility that I might not live to see them grow up.

"I can''t face telling my boys because they are so young. They think mummy has a tummy ache," she explained.

Dying in 3 months with recently diagnosed cervical cancer is too dramatic a declaration. Even if it is a stage 3 or 4 disease (which is unlikely) she could still get chemotherapy and survive much longer. Any way all the best, but please don't use media to frighten people about cancer.
