Also, in WA you have a mammogram over the age of 40 years old - even with no history of BC, Im having mine done free in 2 weeeks. IN the UK, they said I had to wait till I was 50. Is it due to funding that they wont do it in the UK before 50, is it because it is bad for you? I wonder why they do it over 40 in WA (with no history of BC) Anyway, Ill see the GP for my smear and full examination, Ive just never heard of seeing a doctor before. Carol |

Don't get me wrong, Jade is definately not my favourite person in the world but the very sad truth is she is a young girl who's made mistakes (must be grand to be you perfect people out there who never make any!) and her kids will be robbed of a mother at a tragically young age. She has CC. She's got this terrible disease and is going to die soon. She is one of the many young girls out there suffering. What does it matter how she got it?? Would the furore on here be the same if the disase were different - HIV for example - would she still be a slapper then?? Its amazing how ignorance changes over the years isnt it?? Or what would the responses be if she were pregnant instead? People around her would be celebrating instead - but the sad truth is just like Sue says - it takes 1 mistake for this to happen - just like it does to get pregnant. The screening asks for women to have smears when they become sexually active - not - dependant on how many partners you have. That means girls that it can happen to nearly anyone of us! Oh, and my great Aunt who was a virgin when she met my Great Uncle died (childless) at the grand old age of 66 of cervical cancer, having only ever having sex with one man her whole life I repeat - anyone of us - those who want to judge. |

Sue after that someone suggested the link between multiple partners and CVC. Actually this is pretty true for most things but as someone pointed out you could get the virus from your first partner. So while your more at risk the more partners you have its not exclusive to this senario. |

erm no!! it only takes one sexual encounter. Think the thread got derailed for a while suggest you reread. My point is if women can happily have sex and give birth why cant they accept responisbility for their health and have smears?
Here Here, As i have already said, there are lots of very highly fully qualified nurses on this site with over many yrs of experiance, Who are aware that pap testing saves life.;) And that is the point Jade Goody is trying to make,With her bit of fame, its real it can happen to anyone, And i do belive many young girls will look at her photo's and news articles, and now go get a smear test done, something that was maybe not on there list of things to do before.:thumbsup: |

I do think that there is a bit of a gap in the education of young women and men when it comes to personal health. I bet they know more about aids and stds than they do about cancers. Sadly, what information they receives sometimes depends on which disease is flavour of the month and deserving of government funding. |

This thread isn't about an anonymous person getting cancer. As it specifically mentions Jade Goody its reasonable to assume that people will post their opinions of Jade Goody. BE is a place for opinions and lets face it, this girl has put some very embarrassing stuff out about herself into the public domain. As I have said in my previous post, she really gets on my nerves and her fame is a sad reflection on how the media is going these days blah blah blah. AND I am very sad that she has cancer. |

Sue As someone who lost their mother to cancer I have nothing but sympathy for Jade and her family at this horrific time. |
Re: Jade Goody
If I'm being brutally honest I wasn't a fan of Jades when she was on Big Brother or during the fame she found straight after.
We have occasionally watched the programs of parts of her life over the last few years when little else has been on the tv but was never really a fan. It's funny cause my hubby actually bought me BIg Brother 3 on dvd as I laughed my arse off through most of it, and Big Brother hasn't really had that interest (from me anyway) since then, we watched it at the weekend and while I can remember now why Jade grated on me then I watched it and felt a bit sad, things could have been so very different for her now in many ways. Unless you're a completely heartless human being anyone (with the exception of nasty criminals - of which i'm afraid I have no sympathy) suffering with any sort of disease or illness which severly affects they're life or is terminal pulls at the heart strings of most people. If you don't want to know about it or don't agree with what she's doing don't watch it, don't read it and don't listen to it or DO and then just let it go over your head, change the channel when she comes on, don't read the articles etc etc, you have that choice. Living tv are showing a few of her most recent documentaries and they were really heart wrenching and I watch them now with a different view - there she is hugging her kids and playing with her kids and trying to keep the kids disciplined and grounded and you see how much those boys adore her and they're faces light up when they are with her it really does leave a lump in your throat that soon those boys won't have that anymore - before I get jumped on here I'm sure they're dad isn't useless but from what I understand he has never been the main carer and spent much less time with them than she has. I think although accidents and sudden deaths are horrific it must be awful to be given a timer if you will, to know that very soon you won't see, touch, or speak to those that you loved and cared about, for everyone else life will go on but you won't be a part of it, as a parent I think you can relate and think about how distraught you would feel and how fragile life is, what will happen to those we love and care about when we're gone? will they be ok? and while this happens to non celebrities daily, the fact that Jade is a celebrity and we see whats happening to her and those around her makes us feel it could so easily be one of us? I feel really sorry for anyone who cannot feel any sympathy in they're hearts for someone in this situation. Naturally everyone has an opinion and naturally you're not going to agree with the way everyone does things or lives they're life but it's your own life and those that are close to you that truly matters to you and yours. |

This is beacuse it is extremely rare in under 25 year olds, but you can ask for one if you are particularly concerned. http://www.cancerscreening.nhs.uk/ce....html#eligible Sam |
