Jade Goody (1981–2009)

This was the Cancer Diaries- a wise move on the late Jade Goody's part as it shows her account of the 'tadpoles in her tummy' or her cancer that was gradually engulfing her life.
While she was alive I was following her story online and her cancer became a source of information and sustenance to me.( I have since followed others such as the late Farrah Fawcett who died of the rare anal cancer). I might buy other books such as John Diamonds and Ruth Picardies too, to add to the account and maybe even Tomlinson who did so much prior to her death.
Her Children Freddy and Bobby her 'little men' have at least a book penned by herself -with help I might add-about the dreaded 'C' word and what REALLY killed their mother. Others may bring out Documentaries and Books but clever Jade had her Living TV Team and two books under her name the other being 'Jade' Fighting to the End' her official Autobiography (which mentions the Big 'C Word' as almost an addendum to the fact).
Plus the kids have the full range of TV done on Jade for them to look at- a wise move by a Mum who knew that she had literally weeks to live and it could have been days the way the account runs at times.
I read this 300 page volume overnight foolishly. It was maybe to get yet another book under my belt and push my Reading Project forward.
At least if other books come out as they surely will, I will have read the official account from the late one and only Jade Goody.… (mehr)
