I hope she gets through it. No one deserves that.

As a woman having had a hysterectomy prior to becoming a Mom I can understand her initial reaction. But to be ‘”extremely upset when she realized that she would not be able to have anymore biological children, especially as she has “always longed for a baby girl.”‘ is just selfish. She has two wonderful children whom should be the center of her world. She should worry about taking care of herself and making sure that she is around to watch her children grow up and not worry about having ‘another’ child just to have a ‘girl”

She also stated ‘”However, then “it hit me that some women get cancer and will never become mums”‘ Just because you have a hysterectomy does not mean that you will Never be a Mother. Many woman face the realization of losing their reproductive organs but there are so many options out there. And the world has so many children that do not have families that are in desperate need of a loving home.

I am the proud Mother of a little girl who happened to be born in my heart instead of under it.

For anyone who is facing a hysterectomy it can be a scary thing. But it does not mean that your life is over. We are in the process of expanding our family once again.

I would not change a thing about my life.
Things happen for a reason. And for me, I was meant to be the Mother of this gorgeous little infant who came to us from her homeland of China. She is all me and I am all her.

The NHS here in the UK dont give (pap) smears until 25 now – and every 3 years. Any more regular than that or any earlier – you have to have an outward sign that something is wrong (i.e. bleeding) Its was 20, but got raised a couple of years back.

I know there are campaigns for this to change, and Jade (at just 27) would be a great role model for this when she has fought her battle.

I dont personally like Jade (or the Jade I see in the media) but I wouldnt wish this on anyone, and to be a single mum with two young boys facing this is so sad. I wish her all the luck fighting this in the world

Molly – thoughts and prayers are with you throughout the next week. I hope everything turns out well for you! In situations like these, I truly believe that positive thinking can have such a wonderful effect, so think good thoughts, hon!

Sara – congrats on being a survivor! I think it’s wonderful that you were able to adopt a beautiful girl and become a Mommy after all that. I hope you continue to stay in excellent health!

i was really shocked to hear this last week,and i too am glad to see some nice comments. although not a particular fan, i have found myself defending her on many occasions, as she is quite likeable and is a single mother to two young lads.

it is also good to see her ex boyfriend Jack being there for her and supporting her through this,have heard nothing about the boys’ dad being there though which shocks me.

all the best to Jade, she’s strong+will survive this provided she stays that way.

Louise.

Phoebe–that’s terrible that people would say poisonous things about her. I’m American so I don’t know much about her, but she’s a sick mother of two young kids–even if you don’t like or approve of her, how can anyone wish ill to those poor kids? Because it would be devastating for them to lose their mother so young.

Every woman should get an annual Pap smear, and I personally think that every woman (and girl) of the appropriate age should get the Gardasil vaccine. In the future, this kind of cancer could be near eradicated. Wouldn’t that be amazing?

I too am a cancer survivor. I had Uterine cancer and had to have everything removed. I was unable to have children before this happened. I wish her all the luck in the world and want to let her and others know that there is light at the end of the tunnel and I am now a mommy to a beautiful 20 month old little girl whom we adopted.
God bless you Jade and all others who have this difficult and heartbreaking time ahead of them.

Molly, good luck for your test next week, I’m sure everyone reading your post will wish you the same. I have to say, it’s really nice to hear that people are supporting Jade, there are numerous other sites that contain poisonous comments about her and it’s wonderful that people here have no such feelings. Once again, my thoughts are with you Jade.

This is so sad. I am actually having a test next week. As for explaining this to teh kids, I think they are tooo small to understand cancer. “Mummy has a tummy ache” would probably do for now and when they are older, they would understand what cancer is. My prayers are with her and her family.

I am a cervical cancer survivor and I wish Jade the best.

Please let this be a lesson to all ladies…….get annual pap tests !!!!!
