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.
