Miracle Drug Provides Hope To Jane Goody

Jane Goody was diagnosed with stage 4 cervical cancer last August and underwent emergency surgery to remove a large tumour, her womb and her ovaries.

Since then, she has had several bouts of chemotherapy, causing all her hair to fall out.

The mother-of-two will undergo three weeks of chemo and Topotecan, before taking a week's rest and continuing with three more weeks of treatment.

Her publicist Max Clifford said of the drug: 'People in the same situation who have taken this drug have seen encouraging results.'

'The information that was given to her left her thinking there was no way forward.

The Big Brother star says she is 'frightened and angry'

'But this has given her a glimmer of hope. At the end of the day she is a young woman with two children and she is going to do everything in her power to prolong her life.'

After hearing news that the cancer had spread Jade sobbed 'I don't want to die'.

Earlier this week doctors said that the extent of her cancer was so bad that they are focusing on keeping her alive for as long as possible rather than pursuing a cure.

'I am devastated,' Miss Goody said yesterday. 'I am frightened and I am angry. I don't want to die because I have so much to live for.

'The reality is I have gone from a 40 per cent chance of a cure to seeing how long I can stay alive. The whole thing is so absolutely terrifying.'
