I have not read the full 12 pages on this, I could only read the first 2 and a couple of posts from page 3 before I was overcome with rage! So I will appologise in advance if I am repeating what someone else has already said.........BUT.....
ARE YOU LOT RIGHT????????????????????????????????
FFS this is a girl of what 27-28? Having to face the fact that she is dying!
Who the hell are we to question her motives for anything? Until you have been in that sort of position, you have no right to slag anyone else off for their actions in that position!
Yeah, fair enough she's not the brightest pin in the box, but those of you have said she has done nothing to raise awareness of cervical cancer, YOU ARE SOOOOOO WRONG!
It is a fact that 25% (or something like that) more young women have been having smears since Jade started her campaign. She is also campaigning for smears to be compulsary from an earlier age.
She had a really really bad upbringing, hence the fact that she is like she is. The way I see it is, Her parents were in no state to care for her properly, so she was left to drag herself and other kids up. She is a fighter, and instead of getting into drugs, she decided she needed to do something with her life, hence BB, and she did it. Good on her I say!
She does not want the same for her kids. With the money she has made through publicising her illness and wedding, she has paid for a private education for her 2 boys until they are 18! This is the only way she knows how to make money, so why shouldn't she? She obviously needs to know that she has taken care of the boys futures, thats probably the only way she can be sure that they will get the education that she was unable to get.
And for those who have slated her for concentrating on her wedding, I really don't understand you! She may have been one of them girls who has dreamed of having the big white wedding, all her life. When you are told that you only have so long left you want to all the things you have dreamed of, you don't want to put anything off. I don't see how anyone can slate her for that!
This has got me soooo mad, nearly 3 years ago (June 2006) I was told I might not have seen Christmas. I had a little girl aged 5 and a little boy aged 2. Luckily (sort of) a biopsy showed I didn't have cancer (lung), but I do have NSIP (none specific interstitial pneumonia) I have been on oxygen 24/7 since 2006, and need a lung transplant. I have never smoked, and they have never been able to tell me how or why I got this. It's a nightmare, but at least I am still here! (I'm 33 now)
I feel for Jade so much, in my eyes she is so strong as a person.
Again I am sorry if I am repeating anyone else, but i could just not bring myself to read the full thread.
Allroad - I am so sorry to hear that your wife is going through it too. My best wishes go out to you and your family x
