SHOCK! Jade Goody's cancer 'had spread'

Star recovering after eight-hour operation

Jade Goody arrived at London's Royal Marsden Hospital on Friday

Jade Goody has apparently been told her cervical cancer has spread.

The Big Brother star underwent an eight-hour operation to remove her womb at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London at the weekend.

And it is thought cancer was discovered in a ligament muscle behind her uterus during surgery.

‘The hysterectomy was successful but they found the cancer had spread,’ an insider tells the Sunday Mirror.

‘They had thought it was at Stage Two and contained in the womb. But it is worse than that.

'It’s not the news doctors were hoping for but they believe they have removed all the cancerous cells and she has a decent chance of making a full recovery.’

Jade, 27, will now undergo an intensive nine-week course of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

She will be kept in hospital for 14 days before being allowed to return home to see her sons Bobby, 5, and Freddie, 3 - who have been staying with their dad Jeff Brazier, 29.
