Yeah I read that earlier. Its not looking good to be honest........
I may not have always agreed with the way she has conducted herself in the media but I'd never wish this awful disease on anybody.
Agreed. Especially as she has two young boys. I would hate to be in her position.
Me too, I can't get my foot anywhere near my mouth.
In all seriousness, awful news, and something no-one in their twenties should ever have to go through
Feel so sad for her. Yeah she has made mistakes in her life like anyone, unfortunately she made them very publicly. At the end of the day she is human like the rest of us and still has a heart and feelings and I for one think she always means well and is a sweet person inside. Must admit I have always been a fan of her. She has made a living out of being who she is and I would say one of the most successful BB contestants in it's history.
Like others have said, no one deserves this. So sad for her two sons to loose their mum so young. Small chance of beating it hopefully otherwise I hope she gets to make the most of the time she has left.
She has lived the past 8 years or so of her life in the spotlight, and now it seems that she will die in the full glare of the media. The ultimate for Big Brother and our Big Brother society.
I would hope that the media will leave her in peace and if indeed she is entering the final phase of her life then she should do so with her family around her. And while this isn't meant as a criticism of her, I doubt if she will allow that.
You are right about the Big Brother society - it's sad that she had effectively lived and could possibly die in the eye of the media.
I am sure that the media will leave her in peace but for one reason she will stay in the limelight - and that is her little boys. Any money made will go towards their future and I don't doubt that for a second.
One of the good things about this getting so much coverage is due to her type of cancer. As mostly men on here I wonder how many of you know a lot about cervical cancer and the way women of all ages treat the testing for it.
I am sure any of you with a Mrs or even those that don't, will know that a woman after the age of 25 is called in to have a smear test to check for the initial signs of cervical cancer. Far too many women ignore the appointment letter, perhaps because of fear. Due to it being internal and almost sympton-less in the early stages (when it can get treated/prevented fairly easily) it is often brushed under the rug and forgotten.......
I think this story highlights the massive importance of getting checked out even as routine. It's an awful disease and nothing makes it harder to deal with than knowing that it could have been prevented. I hope that it encourages every woman out there to attend any routine appointment and look after themselves. If there is one single thing that can come out of this story then this is it.
sad news, but i reckon there are a fair few in the 2009 death list thread rubbing there hands together

Very sad to read this morning that she may have as little as 8 weeks left.
This is an awful story and such a sad ending. Let's hope she gets to have as much time as possible with her boys now.
