London, Feb 7: Cancer-stricken Jade Goody yesterday underwent emergency surgery to remove a life-threatening golf ball-sized tumour, according to reports.
The reality TV star - who is fighting for her life after being told the disease had spread to her bowel, groin and liver - was told by docs that they had to operate immediately to save her life after locating a golf ball-sized growth, the Daily Mirror said.
The tumour was found after she complained of agonising stomach pains, reports the Daily Express.
London, Feb 06 : Jade Goody is a ''battler'' who will keep fighting to beat her spreading cancer, says her grandfather.
"Jade's a battler. She's so brave and she'll keep fighting until there is no fighting left to do," the Sun quoted John Caddock, as saying.
"The news that the cancer has spread has hit us all very hard. It's going to be a tough time for us all, but we all love her with all of our hearts," he added.
London, Feb 05 (ANI): Cancer-stricken Jade Goody is being given a new drug to help combat her spreading illness.
The 27-year-old said she was starting a two-month course of Topotecan after her first round of chemotherapy failed to stop the cervical cancer spreading to her liver, bowel and groin.
"I've had an awful time recently but I got some hope today," the Mirror quoted Goody, as saying.
"It's the first good news I've had in a dreadful few weeks. Over the last three or four days my view has been, `How long have I got?' Now I'm thinking, `Maybe there's a chance'," she added.
However, some experts doubt the drug's chances of success and grimly warn she may have as little as 12 months to live.
London, Feb 04: Jade Goody is completely ''devastated'', as doctors have told her that her cancer has spread.
After numerous bouts of chemotherapy, which cruelly saw her hair fall out, the former Big Brother star was hoping for some good news.
However, doctors have told her that tumours had been found in her liver, bowel and groin.
They have scrapped their previous estimate that she had a 40 per cent chance of survival - and have begun treating the mum-of-two to prolong her life as long as possible rather than pursue a cure.
London, Feb 3 : Brit television celebrity Jade Goody is facing her worst nightmares with the tests results coming in to let her know whether her cancer has spread, and can she survive it.
Goody, 27, underwent more tests during the weekend amid concerns that secondary tumours might have developed in her kidneys, liver and bowel, and was readmitted to the Royal Marsden Hospital in London three days ago after collapsing at home.
Worried doctors, who have treated Jade since her diagnosis of cervical cancer last August, now fear the disease may have moved through her bloodstream to attack the other areas.
