Chemo and cancer op for Jade Goody
Reality TV star Jade Goody will undergo a hysterectomy following the devastating diagnosis that she has cancer.
The mother-of-two is expected to remain at the Royal Marsden Hospital over the weekend.
Tests performed this week on Goody, one of Big Brother's most famous contestants, revealed her cancer had not spread. But the 27-year-old will have chemotherapy and radiotherapy as well as a full hysterectomy at the London hospital.
Goody entered the Royal Marsden, a cancer specialist centre, on Thursday.
Her children, Freddie, three and Bobby, five, are staying with their father, Goody's ex-partner Jeff Brazier.
Goody's on-off boyfriend Jack Tweed was recently jailed for 18 months after being convicted of assaulting a 16-year-old boy with a golf club.
Goody was on the Indian version of Big Brother, called Bigg Boss, when she discovered she had cervical cancer. The Bermondsey-born star jetted home after show producers called her to the diary room to break the devastating news.
Goody joined the show while awaiting the results of tests performed at Harley Street but said she could not walk away from her TV commitment because she had to keep her sons financially secure.
It was the Big Brother star's third cancer scare and followed four mystery collapses.
She is now said to be devastated that she will not be able to have the girl that she always wanted.
