Jade Goody has acouple of months to live. She has sold the rights to her wedding for a reported £1m. She has also been paid a considerable amount of money for allowing a TV company to film her last days.



Whilst I condone this I would not want to watch her die on TV.



Would you watch her die onTV ?

Would not watch but you got to admire her and her publicist, Max Cliford, for setting up a great trust fund for her kids.



Like her or loathe her she has got this one right for me.

Bill, I understand she is doing this to provide a trust fund for her sons, so whether anyone agrees with it or not, you may suppose she's doing it for the "right" reasons.

However, no, I personally would not want to watch her die on TV.

One good thing that seems to have come out of this is the increase for requests for cervical smear tests, which can only be a positive thing.



Kind regards.

She obviously has a lot of dignity and fels it is in her childs best interest to see it's mother as a puppet of the press and a tool of the media.



I really do hope she rests in PEACE.

This is just so sad, at such a young age and in such little time.



Good on her for wanting to ensure her children will be financially secure when she is gone. It really is so sad, I can't imagine how she is coping. My thoughts are with her.

very sad 27 and dying, but find the whole things gross , probably made millions already so boys well catered for, financially not necessary. I'm afraid I think its more to do with aiming to be a celebrity in life and now aiming at being a celebrity in death. No dignity.

I feel sorry that she's about to meet her maker at such a young age, and I can understand her doing whatever she can to secure her children's future. However, what is she "famous" for? Showing her ignorance in thinking "East Anglia" was another country and getting her private bits out on TV!! She and her publicist Clifford have made made a whole career out of someone with [the greatest respect] absolutely no talent at all.

As for her demise being filmed, if she merely gave an interview to stress the importance of smear tests I would support her actions, however this whole thing, like the rest of her "career" is tacky

She voiced what she thought as we all do without thinking sometimes, she had a bad upbringing so she wants the best education for her two little boys and this is the only way she can do if she is not around for them.

I was little Jack's age when I lost my Mum and I know she would have fought like a tiger to give her children stability, so dont knock her now

Smithy

She has earned enough money from BB,being a Z-list celebrity,books,perfume deals etc to easily provide for her children.

On top of that she will probably have life insurance.

It is ridiculous to try and use her poor children as an excuse to parade herself in this mawkish media circus,orchestrated by her "friend" Max Clifford.

Right or wrong - how can anyone knock another human being when they are facing such a dire situation for what she considers to be the only way of securing her childrens future - who can say how much money they will need to have a decent life and remember it will be a life without their mother. God bless them - I only hope her own mother has learnt by her mistakes as it seems she will be instrumental in the upbringing of those very children that Jade is trying to protect. She has had a very colourful young life - I only wish she could have an even longer one - no-one wants to die at such a tragically young age. How anyone can criticise her now is beyond me.

It is a great pity that a woman so young is dying of cancer but to die in the public eye is undignified and uncalled for. Surely enough money has been made in her career to ensure the best for her children, I feel that this just cheapens things and could cause great distress to the children as they get older and more aware.

I agree with Hattikins sentiments, also Jade dying on T.V will be shown for years to come, not nice for her children, they won't ever be able to avoid it!

As dire and desperate as Jade's situation is, I don't wholly believe her actions are entirely altruistic or positive. There is something grotesque about her desire to die from such a brutal disease before the British media, an organisation that, on the whole, has treated her badly by doing what it does best - building a 15 minute celebrity up before it then knocked them down.



Perhaps Jade feels that in naming her final price she regains some control in a life that has always been out of control and played out before the cameras, but I can't help feeling that her focus, to the bitter end, on publicity and the money it brings, rather than some quiet privacy for herself and her boys is utterly tragic.



She has been a pawn from start to finish and even in death it seems she will be an example and victim of the worst aspects of British low-culture: voyeurism, wealth and fame at any price.



It is surely time to leave the limelight.

I think you are right.



I feel sorry for her and her boys, but I don't want to hear or see it any more. The story is already two days too old......



No-one else gets this type of media coverage when dying, this is just another publicity stunt, for someone with little talent.



There are so many other victims of this ghastly disease, that Max Clifford could/should help, but this would never further his ever increasing desire to make himself another quick buck.



Why o Why would you want to go through such a public death? I know not why....

Perhaps the so called celebrities who are so generously contributing to the forthcoming wedding ( and getting some publicity) will make a handsome donation to Cancer Research in Jades memory so that any other young mum who gets this terrible disease can be helped.

I am saddened that something as tragic as the death of a young woman with young children is being turned into a media circus, as in life so in death, who is advising this poor woman.

I have two pupils battling this dreadful disease - aged 13 and 16. The latter is desperately trying to maintain some normality by continuing with her studies and maintaining her cheerful manner.

Her attitude is heart-breaking and heart-warming at the same time. She is an inspiration and shows so much courage, composure and dignity. This thread has made me wonder how this gorgeous kid has coped with her last round of chemotherapy and what on earth she thinks of Jade's decision to die in public?

'There but for the grace of God go I'

Who knows what's around the corner for us mere mortals,

lets think ourselves lucky that we are not in this sad predicament....

If I had to I would sell my soul to the Devil to give my kids a leg up in this hard world in which we all live... We can all be sanctimonious while we are all fit and healthy but when the grim reaper comes to you who knows how you will be ?

A young girl who has not lived her life yet ..So sad and her kids will have to live with this for the rest of there lives ...Why are people worried about what money she will get and if its on film..She will be dead!!!!! Her family will have to live with this for many years .. and just think a lot of kids do not get over loosing there mum...ever!

It is a difficult call. How do any of us know her financial situation? How do we know if she could (without the media circus) adequately provide for her boys after her untimely departure? None of us actually know. This is a young woman, who by her own actions (within that media circus) you either like or dislike. Her 15 minutes of infamy via BB over the ensuing years, have sold numerous ragmags to the masses, her life has been under the microscope, and she has reaped the financial benefits. So why is it different now? It is different because as a nation, we do not talk about death. It is a taboo subject. It is something we have a natural aversion to. It is something we do not want to face, or indeed actually have to see in our faces. What an absolute tragedy that this young woman of 27 is dying. If anything, her death will not be in vain, as it has highlighted to the masses the necessity of regular cervical smear tests

Whatever her motive, you have to admire her courage.

Others are

No. I would not watch Jade dying on TV and to be perfectly honest I have never really liked her.



I have to admire her now for her honesty in the most tragic of cirumstances and her tenacity to the very end in ensuring that her children want for nothing, save for their mum, who sadly has to face the inevitable. Its heart rendering for all concerned, whatever opinion you may hold about her actions.

This whole thing is a sick joke, surely?

I hear people say she is a celebrity and a star. She is a silly girl who was on a pathetic TV "reality" show for 5 minutes. Of course, I am forgetting - in the UK these days that makes you a celebrity.

There are UK servicemen and women in Iraq and Afghanistan being wounded, maimed and killed every day, who have families, and they have to fight for decent compensation and pensions. Aren't these people more deserving of celebrity status and financial reward?

I'm sorry she is so sick and leaving young children, but I wouldn't watch her alive - why would I want to watch her die?

fair play to jade for using the media to make money just as they have used her in the past, to say it is a publicity stunt is very harsh indeed, the sad fact is a young life is gonna be lost and if she wants to get as much money as she can to secure her boys future then good on her. I have always liked jade although sometimes she could do with thinking before she speaks but we are all guilty of that at sometime in our lives. I wish her every success with the little time she may have left in this world and may she enjoy it as much as she is able to.

As jade herself says she has lived her life in the media she may as well die in it.



I was not interested in anything she appeared in in life I will not be watching her die on tv.



It is tragic she will die so young from a cancer that can through regular screening be diagnosed early and treated.



She may well be aiming to make her children financially secure, but personally I think she should be spending what time she has left with her children and preparing them for the fact that she is dying, these children are not going to ask how much money they have, they will need to know they are secure and loved and that someone will be supporting them emotionally and helping them through the grieving process.



Has she made provisions and made it clear who will bring her children up? or will we be be subjected to her husband/childrens father fighting it out in the

media on who who gets the childrens and control of her finances?

Bill - message 47. I, too, thought about this aspect of the matter after reading the paper yesterday. I seem to remember that when he was released from prison recently, the first thing he did was to go out with his mates. Very caring. One can only hope that she has taken legal advice to ensure that the trust fund is watertight and only made available for the benefit of her children. She is an uneducated girl and not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but let's hope she's taken advice from experts in this respect.

I personally feel that this is an absolute tragedy. Such a young girl facing death, which may have been avoided, as I understand the cancer was not detected previously even though she went for tests.

It is just media talk that says her death may be filmed, Jade nor her publicist has said that it would happen. Nobody has the right to judge what decisions she makes now anyway. Facing death head on at 27 and despite all the grueling treatment she has undergone since September and the pain she is in now, why should she not do what she wants??!!

I feel for her & her 2 boys. Why should she not want to do all she can for their future now. What will their father do? He left her before the youngest was even born, so no wonder she wants to give them all she can when she is not here.



She had a sad start to life & turned things around to become a millionaire, good on her. She has shown such spirit & guts the last few months with such a beautiful smile.



God bless her

If you read the papers her sons are going to live with their daddy, he is great with them and going by the pictures in the paper they are happy with him. Jade has made a will stating that the money will go to her boys upkeep and education, but of course her ex will get an amount to make sure their every need is catered for, clothes etc

Hi all,



As much as Ive watched her over the years and found her irritating at times you cant blame her she may not be a true celebrity but the girl has done good for her family over the years.



She has managed to appear from nowhere and a very poor unbringing to make a good living and provide for her family regardless of what shes had to do to get there.



She has always made money throufgh her reality tv appearances and although I do not wish to see anyone dying on tv I think long short and long term it will create so much positive awareness of cervical cancer and will in fact potentially save hundreds and thousands of lives for women around the world.

WHICH TO ME IS PRICELESS??



As for provding for her boys and ensuring that they are set up for life financially before she goes is what ANY PARENT would do for their children!!



As for the men out there who curse her for what shes doing shame on you your not one of the thousands of women who get cervical cancer every year!!

Slimboy,



I was not judging this young woman, just expressing my opinion, I think it is desperately sad the position she is in.

From personal experience I can say that no amount of money will make things easier for the children, I lost my mum when I was 9 and my dad when I was 12 so I do know what I am talking about.

I also nursed my brother as he was dying from a brain tumour so again I know what it,s like when this awful disease strikes, I just feel that she may be better spend what little time she has left with her children, a mothers love is more important than money.

Hattikins - I couldnt agree with you more nothing can compensate for a mother so I apologise if my remarks offended you - I was just trying to convey that no-one has the right to criticise her decisions whether they are right or wrong. I do not agree with her decision to die on TV if in fact that is what she is planning but then I can just turn the tv off - that is my decision. I just feel that if I were in her position I would do anything to insure the future of my children if I was lucky enough to be able to do so as I am sure you would. Whatever the sad outcome I commend her love for her children. May she find peace in her final days on earth.

Did you know more Men die of testicular cance than women of cervical cancer !!



Yes it is True .................



Almost five times as many men die from prostate cancer as the number of women who die from cervical cancer.

This "If I was in her position" that everyone is talking about. What exactly would you do 'hypothetically'?



Shout it from the rooftops?

Grab your family, and spend as much time as you could, if well enough would you not go away with them all, and spend your last few weeks solely with them?

Go with dignity?

Go in a media frenzy?

I feel this is totally the wrong way of going about thing's, I too have lost people I love, my whole family in fact, they went with a quiet dignity that I truly respect! I will say it again though. God bless Jade and her Children.

I do agree with you Vicki with regard to dignity and respect. I too have lost many people, presumably like everyone here.



The point is that WE are not in the media and are not famous for whatever reason. She has the opportunity to capitalise, for want of a better word, on her misfortune. I don't blame her for one minute for doing that for the right reason - her children.

And to raise Cervical Cancer awareness too, which she has achieved. Brilliant! Cannot help feeling this is so wrong

Jade Goody didnt stand a chance from the moment she came into this world, she has been dragged up by a truly dreadful mother who at best can be described as a thick tart....Jade was not encouraged to make anything of her life, her drugged up father abandoned her when she was very young, her mother and I use the word loosely is also a druggie, she is uneducated and incredibly stupid...Jade sadly is a product of that...she went into the big brother house and yes she was a dimwit but she found fame through it ...her second entry into the BB house was a disaster and Jade was branded a bully and a racist, Jade having some caribbean in her wasn't intentionally racist, she is not clever enough to be, she was ignorant and silly and that has to be a direct result of her truly awful upbringing.



Now she is dying and is trying to make as much as she possibly can for her two young sons and I say good luck to her, she has proved she is a good mother and in being so has shown her own mother up for

what she is..a foul mouthed disgusting specimen of human life.



I just hope and pray that the boys father Jeff Brazier takes control of their lives and keeps them well away from that idiot boyfriend and the dreadful mother.



My thoughts and prayers are with Jade and her two young sons.

The media has just confirmed she will not be filmed dying, her wedding will be the last time she will go in front of a camera.

Whilst I am very sorry that Jade has got terminal cancer at 27. I do agree with deecyprus4 and hope that the boy's father Jeff Brazier applies and gets custody of these 2 lovely children. He seems to be a really nice young man who is stable and would be able to give them the life that they deserve.



I do not believe that Jade's mother or her future husband should be allowed to bring them up, as they have both proven that they are not capable of this.

Hi all,



Whether she is to be filmed for her dying days or not- Because of her status and whethre you approve of her or not she has through this managed to promote and create awarness for the biggest ever cervial cancer campaign through the media??

Something that the cerviical cancer capaigners and awarness charity/volunteers could ever dream of??



Many women ignore the numerous letters they are sentfrom their gps telling them to go for check ups and cant be bothered to make appointments as most dont take it seriously.



And testicual cancer is also a huge worry and when a celebrity comes out openly that they have this problem then that too will create huge awarness and save many lives !!



I too have 2 children and have always tried to give my children the things I never had when I was growinh up and many parents are the same.



Its not that we wish to spoil our children rotten but its mearly to ensure they have a better quality of life than what we did when growing up.

That's a good then that her death will not be filmed, the best thing a Mum or Dad could do for their children should they know they are dying, would be to make a compilation dvd/video of their happy times together, photograph stills, and more important to talk and explain how loved they were.

Then they can look at this any time they felt the need.

Ithink what she has done is marvellous for highlighting cervical cancer , but i would of liked her to have gone further and made it known that the risks of getting cervical cancer are increased if you have an active sex life at an early age , i am not saying Jade Goody is or was promiscous , but if she was to say these things then a lot of young girls would sit up and take notice

I think without exception this is a terribly sad and tragic situation BUT if she wants to highlight the plight of cervical cancer sufferers as everbody hopes she is then wouldn't it be a much better legacy to start a cancer trust for people in her situation?

As it is we will now be subjected to the gross public handwringing of her vapid excuse for a mother and toyboy boyfriend competing for custody of the children in order to obtain access to the media monies generated by this tawdrey exercise

Go with dignity and leave a worthwhile legacy, not more lowlife ghoulish entertainment for the underclasses

I have followed the Jade story in fact i have tried to follow what she has done since she was in BB. Yes she is a bit dim but she has never tried to be anything other then what she is.

All this stuff about filming her death has been blown up out of all proportion. She has never said that she wants her death filmed and even if she did then she wont be the first to be filmed dying.

She might be a lot of things but the most important is that she is a good mum to her 2 boys and they are her world. I think anyone of us in the same situation would be trying to secure our childrens future while she is still of sound mind to do it. Once the cancer hits the brain then her decision days are over. I hope she has the most wonderful day tomorrow because whatever our thoughts on Jack she loves him.

If anyone is coming from the UK after next thursday would you please bring me a copy of Hello
