Jade Goody puts on a brave face after being diagnosed with cervical cancer

Jade Goody: I'll make my friends wear bald caps

TV star makes light of her cervical cancer

Thursday, 6 November 2008

Jade Goody wants her friends to understand what it will be like for her to lose her hair.

The reality TV star, 27, was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August.

And she was told her locks would fall out as a result of chemotherapy.

‘I’m going to give all my mates bald caps and make them go out in them – they don’t know this yet,' she says.

'I feel as though if I can laugh I won’t be hurt.’

Jade doesn’t want her sons Bobby, 5, and Freddie, 4, to know the real reason she’s losing her barnet.

‘They think I’ve got tadpoles in my belly,’ she says.

'When I go to hospital the machine makes the tadpoles go to sleep, which makes me tired.

'And when the tadpoles die, my hair falls out.’

Doctors have told Jade she has a 50 per cent chance of making a full recovery.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer last June.I had my op and now I am going through Chemo. It is no easy ride, but hey,we are women and we are STRONG!!! I have a son with special needs and he needs me. So Jade, hang in there, and you will get through. My hair has fallen out and I had to buy a wig. Most of my mates wanted me to buy a pink one but I told them to get their own...lol You take care Jade. Hang in there. Nadya

Hi Jade if you believe in healing, then only God can do the impossible, only if you believe in prayer, get your bible and start, dont wait too late. God bless.
