Goody cancer 'inoperable'

[hornetrider]

Seems the preceding threads have been locked, but the latest news is that she only has months left to live as her cancer is inoperable.

It's never nice for anyone to have cancer, let alone die of it, but anyone who makes money from the fact that they have cancer is wrong.

[DocJock]

I disagree.
She is doing what she can, while she can, to provide for her two young sons after she has died.

I have no issues if it supports her children when she is gone.

[bored-of-coding]

yes - at this point you can say that she definately ISN'T doing it for herself ..

Yeah fair point, I didn't really think before posting that, it's just whenever I hear about Goody and her cancer I always think of a very close friend of the family who also had cancer at the age of about 71, who never complains and still works

Oh please.

And if you had the same problem are you saying you wouldn't do what it takes for your kids future ?

Edited to say i've just seen your last post.

Quite scary really - I never liked the woman and found her the typify everything that is wrong with Britain and this pathetic cult of celebrity. However nobody deserves this to happen, and it just shows how quickly something like cancer can bring you from top-of-the-world to nothing in a very short space of time indeed. She has my sympathies

As far as I am concerned any who is dying of cancer deserves every penny they get.

It has nothing to do with greed.

My family has been stricken with cancer, I have been around it far too much and greed is the last thing on someones mind when they are dying.

I agree wholeheartedly. Very sad

I agree she is doing everything she can for her kids. I also think she is doing a good job in raising the awareness for women, I am the same age as she is and I have never had the smear test as quite frankly it horrifies me, but seeing this unfold in the news has made me realise I need to as it can and does happen. I think this is very very sad and anyone who slates her now is a moron.

Absolutely

[Norbury90]

It must take a lot of courage to carry on being in the public eye throughout all this, even if she is doing it to scrape some more cash together.

Not a good situation

[Olf]

Scary to think how much you remember from when you were four or five. Those are the memories they'll have of their Mum. To know that your children won't have a better picture of you than that would be terrifying.

Good point, I suppose the fact that my ears tend to malfunction when celebs like this open their mouths doesn't help my point of view. I shall be more open minded in future!

[stifler]

Her children have my symathies. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

She's far too young - enjoy life whilst you can folks.

Agreed. It doesn't matter who a person is or what they do, it is a terrible thing when someone that young dies and leaves a young family behind.

I hope she makes as much cash out of this as possible to provide for her kids. I know I would have done if I it had been an option for me.

Can't stand the bint but cancer is very cruel and indiscriminate. Perhaps having someone so high profile and young going through this very publically may just make others feel slightly less alone in going through this. My friend has recently had a mastectomy and they think it had spread - early 30s and two young children. Grim
