Wow. What a whirlwind of emotions reality star Jady Goody must be feeling. After a weekend being in and out of the hospital and the news of the nasty c-word spreading throughout more of her body, Jade Goody has got to be feeling some major stress. However amidst all the horrifying news, there is a bit of light at the end of the tunnel for Miss Jade.
Just last night it was revealed that Professor Martin Gore, medical director at the Royal Marsden Hospital, told Jade he wanted to start her on Topotecan, also called Hycamtin, after the recent failing of chemotherapy. According to WebMD, Topetecan is normally given in only in advanced cases of cervical cancer and is seen as the last line of defense. The drug works by blocking an enzyme that can strengthen cancer cells, and a scan will show if the tumors are responding.
Jade’s publicist said, “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. 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.”
What hell to go through! But at least this drug could help Jade with her fight and keep her on earth with her boys as long as possible. Keep your head up, Jade!
