On this day in 2009, TV personality Jade Goody sadly passed away on Mother's Day.The mum-of-two was just 27-years-old when she died after a battle with cervical cancer.Whilst taking part in the Indian version of Big Brother, Jade took a personal phone call from her consultant and was told she had cancer after having previously experienced symptoms such as blood loss and pains in her leg.Jade returned to the UK straight away and doctors told her that devastatingly, she had been suffering from cancer for the last two years and her tangerine-sized tumour had destroyed more than half of her womb.As reported by the Mirror, the star then underwent a hysterectomy and a gruelling year of chemotherapy, but quickly learned that her cancer had already spread and there was nothing more they could do.In her last days, Jade made sure that her beloved boys, Bobby and Freddy, would be provided for."I just want to carry on being to the boys and to myself normal and I'm quite naive with the whole cancer thingy," she told Phillip Schofield during an emotional interview on This Morning."I haven't done any research or anything and I don't want to know.
I only know what I need to know, which is this is my medication and this is that, this is when I get better."I don't want to know the ins and outs and because it's too much for my brain to take it in.
It really is."Jade wanted to make as much money as possible for her two sons and worked right up until her death, securing TV interviews, pictures and her own reality show.The mum-of-two was determined not to give up and told doctors to never tell her how serious the prognosis really was, but she received the worst news possible on Valentine's Day in 2009.Doctors had no choice but to tell Jade
