I was wondering whether the miscarridge Jade suffered 18 months ago would have anything to do with the cancer she is now sadly dying from? I wonder whether it was her body's way of dealing with it?
Is it also true that you are more likely to get cervical cancer if you have slept with lot of men? This is not a dig at Jade in anyway, as for the record her plight has really touched me as she is the same age as me, but it's just someone told me that the more men you sleep with, the higher the chance of having it and that's why when you get to a certain age (cant remember what age) they no longer screen you (as it's deemed you are less likely to sleep around when you are older). And no, I am not asking because I have slept around (I havent) just more out of curiosity.
Apologise if this should be in showbiz, but it's more of a general query rather than one speciifically about Jade.

I've heard that promiscuous women are more prone to cervical cancer too, but this is a myth. Apologies to anyone if I get it wrong but my understanding is that it comes from the HPV virus which ANY man could carry - and then after that, it either may or may not turn into cervical cancer. So yes, your odds may be higher if you sleep around, but you could also sleep with only one man and get it too.
Very true, it makes you wonder how she had abnormal smears, stomach pains, miscarridge etc, yet this wasnt picked up until it was too late. Unless she didnt go for regular smears as she got older?
very sad
Everything to answer your question if there. JFGI.
and noone saw the signs until it was too late ...again
why do us young people get ignored????
True, but don't forget she's only 27 and wouldn't have been called for her first smear test until she was 25 or are women who have children under 25 called to have a smear test earlier?
I really feel for Jade, Jack and all her family especially her two beautiful boys
Thats really sad
thanks, but that's cancer for you...
I think she was having them from a really early age, I remember her saying during BB3 that they had found abnormal cells when she was 16. :eek:
Thats what I thought.....if you have an abnormal smear, I thought they monitor you a lot more closely.....which is why I find it hard to understand it was so far advanced before she was diagnosed
That's awful, I am so sorry to hear that
There was quite an interesting discussion here -> http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=1001229
It seems very strange that things had been 'abnormal' for so many years but cancer was not diagnosed until last year.
I know she reportedly ignored some letters requesting further check-ups but didn't she spend some time in hospital on several occasions? and surely would have been checked after the miscarriage? I don't know, it's very strange. She was either misdiagnosed for a long time, or the cancer only developed last year & spread very fast
Really interesting link there, thanks. Kinda answers my questions!
And on her show before the diagnosis and before CBB she was in and out of hospital, I still can't get over that doctors missed that Fu****g cancer. And now she's got hours or days left so sad
Whether doctors have been mis-diagnosing her, or she has been brushing it under the carpet and ignoring letters is another matter though. I would guess that she thought it would go away, hence why she ignored the letters re abnormal cells. Doctors cannot force you to recieve treatment, and I find it unlikely that she has not been requested to go back to recieve treatment.. considering she has allegedly had dodgy smear results since the age of 16! I'm sure any doctor would act upon this.
My auntie died from cervical cancer 11 years ago. Quite similar to Jade, doctors discovered abnormal cells after a smear, and sent letters to call her back to have them removed. She was scared by the prospect and ignored them. Not long after, she passed away. So I know this does happen a lot, and abnormal cells can change for the worse very quickly.
Heat magazine reported that she ignored letters from the hospital.
She was told before going to India she was told there was a strong chance she had cancer, but on her return she said she'd been given the all clear.
I only saw the GMTV interview and was more confused after it than before. I don't know if the sequence of events was clearly explained in any of the Living TV shows.
I may be wrong, but I think Living started filming her a while before she went to India. If I remember correctly, she went on holiday, somewhere in this country, and kept complaining of being bloated, couldnt do her trousers up, and she had pain in her abdomen. I think she collapsed, lost a lot of blood and then went to hospital where she had tests and scans. Whether they told her she could have cancer or not, I dont know, but she made out that she was healthy enough to travel to India. She kept saying that the hospital were telling her it was bad periods. Dont know how true this is though.
It does seem though that she has had lots of gynelogical problems for a long time, and it makes your wonder if that made her prone to this kind of cancer?
TBH more like this time next week
However, whatever people say about her, she has done ONE good thing at least - raised awareness of cervical cancer. I have mine due and I must admit, reading her plight is making me realise how important it is to get this done and not just brush it under the carpet cos "it wont happen to me cos I'm young"
If reports are to be read as true tho, had she not ignored letters from doctors, had a hysterectomy, brushed it under the carpet etc, there is a good chance it wouldnt have spread.
Have to say that this is completely wrong I had only slept with two men when I found out that I have the HPV virus which can cause cervical cancer, its just the luck of draw when it comes to the partners you choose and who they have slept with.
