I have been incredibly saddened by her story. I've been in a room three times with someone when the doctor has said 'there's nothing more we can do' and the feeling is just sickening.
I completely understand that she wants to make enough money for her kids to be privately educated until their 18. And the only way she can do this is through her reality TV show on Living and tabloid interviews.
From her diagnosis, going through chemo and hair loss to being told it's terminal, we've been though it all. It's all incredibly saddening and I have every sympathy for her. She's raised awareness of cervical cancer. But for me she's also brought back up all the sadness I've suffered with loved ones. And this is something I don't want. I don't want to see ANOTHER person dying from this disease. I've been there with the people I've loved as they've died. I don't want to have to go through it again.
There's someone right now dying of cancer. This very minute breathing their last breath, hopefully with the people they love with them. They may or may not leave enough money for their family to get by in the future. But they will die peacefully with no media frenzy surrounding them. No camera in their face.
Surely with her estimated £8m fortune enough is enough. You've got a matter of weeks left now. How about spending some quality time with your boys and being at peace?
She's in the paper today talking about the lavish wedding she's planning to Jack to happen within the next week. Helicopters and the most expensive of everything. Money that has come from giving interviews about her struggle with cancer, money that's supposed to be going to her boys? A bit of a double standard don't you think?
I've no doubt Max clifford has secured million pound deals with Hello for her wedding, and probably even her funeral. But it's starting to leave a sick taste in my mouth.
When does the time come to say 'enough now', stop and take the time to breathe, feel the sun coming in through the window, hear your kids voices and just be at peace?
We've heard her story. And in a few weeks (I think maybe they're being a little generous with the 'months' diagnosis) we'll hear that sadly she's passed away. But death is not a media frenzy. It's not something to make money from (even if it is for your kids future)
Those kids will never want for anything. They'll be 'Jade's boys' and no doubt earn money of their own from the media when they get older.
If she's got the right legal team they'll be set up for life..and then some.
But please Jade. I don't want to hear any more. I know it's painful. I know you feel your losing your dignity. But please. I don't want to go through this with you I'm afraid.

On a different note. Serenity- don't forget next month is Prostate Cancer awareness month.
Over 35,000 men are diagnosed in the UK every year.
One man dies every minute from prostate cancer.
It's the most common male cancer in the UK...and yet 70% of people don't even know what the prostate does.
