A young life wasted , such a sad time.
Rest in peace, and lets hope her children are looked after well!

But when those follow up smears showed a recurrence of abnormal cells, Jade ignored letters that were sent to her advising her to come in for follow up and treatment.
Why? Because she was scared..
"They had sent a letter to me ages ago, telling that I needed to go in for an operation, but I had been too scared to do anything about it,” Goody confessed.
So Jade put the whole thing out of her mind and pretended it never happened. Until repeated episodes of pain and hemorrhage became symptoms she could no longer ignore. But by then, the tumor had spread beyond the cervix to her uterus. And while a radical hysterectomy and chemotherapy staved the cancer off for awhile, it returned this past month with a vengeance.

From what ive read she even continued taking the boys to school until her eyesight became an issue.
I think thats what would kill me the most if i wer ein her shoes at that time, not being able to see the boys faces properly.
She was a fantastic mother in my opinion and the boys will grow up knowing that, jeff will make sure of it.
She raised awareness of cervical cancer too before she died, which again ive heard many people slate her for, a relative who i dont get on with even said 'she's probably faking it just to get more money'
Jade, in her last weeks im sure saved many a girls life, and even if she saved 1, she's done more than was ever required of her. She's seen her boys will be alright. Can't fault her.
