You say undignified, I say brutally honest.

TBH I was surprised while reading Feeks post, as I didn't know the cancer she had was confirmed to be terminal.

I don't object to what Jade Goody is doing, I'm sure I'd be the same if I were in that situation where I could get shedloads of cash for my children. Sorry, I probably worded my original post badly (I think I've said elsewhere on these forums that I don't have a problem with with she's doing).

I stand by the undignified comment, even though I'm not objecting to what she's done which sounds like an oxymoron and I'm probably not explaining it well.

APoL - The reports last year did confirm it, see the one here.

I'm sure it did, I just remember only hearing about her cancer as part of a headline and didn't hear any more detailed information on her illness.
