Jade dies

I didn't really like Jade as a person, I'm not a big fan of these people who come out of big brother and try and milk their 15 minutes of fame for as much money as possible. However for a young woman to lose her life at the age of 27 is devastating, leaving two young boys without a mother.

My sister had cancer when she was 26 and it almost killed her so I can sympathise with her family for what they’ve been put through. I'm sure she's made enough money for her two boys to have quite a good life, She's done quite a lot to raise the awareness of cancer to get people tested earlier so this can only be a good thing.

My sincerest condolences to her family for what they must have had to endure for 6 months leading up to her death. I think anyone making a mockery of this should take a good look at themselves; it’s absolutely devastating to watch someone go through a cancer battle and I only hope you never have to see it first hand.
 
I feel sorry for her family and don't wish cancer on anyone but when were in a recession why is this spread all over the tabloids?

Enough is enough now.
 
Stephen Fry saying she was a "Lady Di from the wrong side of the tracks" was probably the most stupid thing the man has ever said.

Jade raised awareness of the diesease to young women and the importance of getting checked through her suffering but she did not spend months in Africa dealing with suffering children.

He has a point though i think, most people saw Diana as their heroine and a standup british citizen, im sure many many 14year old chav girls stinking of her perfume would worship her in the same way.

Its not 20 its 25. Part of what Jade was trying to do was get the age limit lowered to 20, due to the fact you are at risk of developing cervical cancer as soon as you become sexually active.
And they dont always send you a reminder, both myself and my sister had to chase our doctors surgery to get our smear tests done.

Well my girlfriend got a letter out a week after her 20th birthday. Maybe its a Northern Ireland thing, might not happen in backwards england :p
 
Although I didn't particularly warm to her on Big Brother, I do have to say what she did was absolutely the best thing she could have done for her two boys. Those boys now have a future because of Jade's willingness to be open with the public. A lot of people miss this crucial aspect of the media furore surrounding Jade. My thoughts are with the two littl'uns left behind.
 
RIP to Jade, no matter who or what she was; no one deserves to die at 27 through cancer.

Oh a completley different note - perhaps the media will report on something different now. Unless they do a day to day update of her ern and remains, which in all honesty will probably more interesting than her dying.
 
The age limit in all the other parts of the UK apart from England is 20. England are the only ones who still only start testing at 25.
