Jade dies

Her cancer has done a lot to raise the profile of a big killer disease which is hugely important. Rip

Since she was diagnosed with Cancer I now have a lot of respect for her. I myself have lost someone close from Cancer and I know how hard it is for that person to know they are dying and watching them struggle to make sure the people they leave behind will be ok and the horrible feeling of hopelessness knowing you aren't going to be there to care for your loved ones anymore.

i don't respect people more or less if they've been diagnosed with anything.

I written about 10 posts in this thread but never hit reply because I just can't be assed with some people.

So I'm just going to keep it simple.

RIP Jade. You didn't deserve it and I'm sorry that the media and people gave you such a nasty reputation in the first place.

I never really liked jade (never really knew her though) but it saddens me reading some of the posts in here.
She was a person, wife & mum and loved by others. I do feel for those that loved her that she left behind, especially the children.
Its sad she died in such a way. I hope she's left her mark that what she went through may prevent others doing so.

RIP

Goody is survived by Tweed and her two sons Bobby and Freddie, with an ex-boyfriend, television presenter Jeff Brazier. She also is survived by her mother, Jackiey Budden.

Budden told reporters Sunday: "Family and friends would like privacy at last."

From Foxnews.com, http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,510050,00.html I found the request for "privacy at last" slightly ironic.

Thanks Spie - needed to be said and glad it has been.

To all those that offer well wishing and sad comments and support and whatnot.

Just out of curiousity....do you use the phrase "at the end of the day" a lot in day-to-day conversation?

Scarily, yes, I do, or did until I noticed, but that's a discussion for another thread some other time, so best left at that.

As for the irony, yeah, I did notice that, but the publicity served its intended purpose and I don't see there's much more to be gained now.

Peace at last.

RIP, she deserves it after a battle against a horrid disease, and I feel extremely sad for her children, losing their mother at such an early age.

But if that was my mother, I'd feel a bit sick when I grow older knowing that she whored herself out to the media and basically hung her dignity out to dry in her final days, but then I suppose she had none left anyway due to the nature of her "work".

Many people know about cancer and it's various forms anyway, but hopefully the ignorant people that didn't, having now had this rammed down their throats from every angle of the media, will take notice and not leave any symptoms unchecked.

I really hope that doesn't earn me a suspension as that's how I really feel, it's opinionated yes, but I've known my fair share of people that have battled, and currently battling some form of cancer and know how sensitive people can be.

Wonder if the prime minister will be leading tributes when a true great Sir Bobby Robson, loses his what seems eternal battle with cancer.

Very sad that she has died. Anyone dieing of cancer is a tragedy, especially a mother with children.

However the media circus that follows her and all the TV adverts trying to tell us "Jades story" do slightly irritate me. And reading this thread it seems now even has first name status, she was just Jade Goody before she was ill. I will be glad to see the back of it, no doubt Katona or some other talentless wench will fill her place.

As I said earlier in the thread, maybe its because Jade didnt want the privacy but now shes gone, those surviving do. Her Mum was more than likely letting her spend her final days exactly how she wanted, but that doesnt mean it was what she would have chosen to do, so now Jade is gone, she can say whatever she feels right.

Cynics are only idealists at heart Mr Spie.

RIP Jade.

however in my opinion she didn't do anything worth getting so much public support/sympathy whether or not it's entirely sincere.

Then why have countless 'big bosses' of different Cancer charities + Care Trusts been spread over the news all weekend singing her praises for bringing it to the public eye.
Last week I was with one of the bosses of Radiotherapy who was giving a talk to my students and he also said the same thing about Jade and what she has done.
He also said it was very rare that somebody of Jade's age to get what she had but there was a lighter moment when one of the 15 year olds asked "Do you think she will die?" and we just looked at each other in amazement.

lol?

oh wait, we all like her now don't we...

I despised her, but I wouldn't laugh at her death :/ That's rather disgusting.

I don't feel differently toward her because she had cancer and is now gone, I won't miss her, but I don't find any of her suffering satisfying or amusing and I have sympathy for her children.

cpatain-chaos · 23 Mar 2009 at 11:39

I'm not laughing at her or her loved ones but I did chuckle at the ironing when I saw the OK! magazine tribute happened to be issue 666

Smear tests up 30% now.

The irony is that it wasn't until she was dying or dead that she became a contributor to society.

I must admit I was half-expecting her to make a miraculous recovery, so I suppose at least this proves she was telling the truth.

Hehe same here, at least for once in her life shes told the truth.

Anyways the massive media circus has begun...didnt bother reading the paper on the way into work..well i did, i just quickly skipped the bit about Jade...shes of no interest to me anymore.
