I think they are still talking about a month for her to live.
EMOTIONAL Jack Tweed told yesterday how he spent a whole night holding terminally-ill Jade Goody’s hand in hospital — and begged her to forgive his criminal past.
The 21-year-old, out of jail on parole and facing a new stretch after a second assault conviction, made a late-night dash to the Big Brother star’s bedside just hours after appearing in court.
Jack, who wears an electronic tag, was allowed to break his home curfew on compassionate grounds after hearing that Jade had “suffered a turn” after an op to remove a bowel blockage.
He spent Tuesday night comforting the cancer-stricken mum of two as she cried in pain and battled to sleep, with her condition continuing to weaken.
Jack said yesterday: “I was given permission to spend the night with Jade. I’m so happy — I just wish I could be there all the time.
“I told her I’m so sorry for my behaviour in the past. It’s meant I haven’t been there for her the whole time.
Frail ... Jade had 'turn' in hospital
“I told her I’ve let everyone down but have learned my lesson. And I said I’m worried that, once again, I won’t be there for her and the family when they really need me. I just want to be with her as much as I can.”
Cuddle
A source at the Royal Marsden Hospital in Chelsea, West London, told how a camp bed was put in 27-year-old Jade’s room so her husband could stay — but said he barely slept at all.
The source said: “Jack spent nearly all night holding Jade’s hand and tenderly stroking her face. He tried to cuddle her, but she is hooked up to a drip and has her gas and air mask constantly with her, which made it hard.
“He did his best to hold her at times, she was grateful he was there.”
Jack spoke of his vigil yesterday just as Jade’s mum Jackiey Budden, 50, left the hospital in tears after visiting her stricken daughter.
Distraction ... Jack helps chum hunt flat
Jack, whose curfew means he must stay at his mum’s Essex home from 7pm to 7am, was NOT allowed to return to his wife’s bedside last night.
He spent yesterday afternoon with pals, leaving Jade to get vital rest.
During the trip, he visited a pizza restaurant before viewing a showroom with a chum who wants a new flat.
Jade — mum to sons Bobby, five, and Freddie, four — was “heavily sedated” in hospital last night.
Spokesman Max Clifford said: “She’s not been seeing anybody. She is resting up so she can see her boys tomorrow.
“I spoke to Jade this morning and she was very, very groggy. We are just hoping her sleepiness was just down to the drugs she was given for pain.”
Mr Clifford said that if Jade’s condition continued to worsen, he would advise her to withdraw from the public eye.
She has so far accepted media coverage to raise money for her sons.
Jade, whose cervical cancer spread to her bowel, liver and groin and is believed to have reached her brain, wants to die at home in Upshire, Essex, but she is too frail to travel.
There are such horrible texts going around about this, a boy in my Economics class got one in the lesson and read it out :(
I've heard a 'joke' about her too. There's always going to be one who laughs at another's misfortune.
I've heard a 'joke' about her too. How could someone joke about somebody who is dying from terminal cancer?! :angry:
Ive heard loads of jokes, I think its digusting that they joke about it :angry:
Terminally ill Jade Goody has been christened with her two sons Bobby and Freddy in a "very short and emotional service", her publicist has said.
Max Clifford said the "very pale and fragile" Goody was in a wheelchair and assisted by nurses during the service at London's Royal Marsden Hospital.
Clifford said the ceremony would be the last thing reality TV star Goody would do in the public eye.
He added that she had had a "smile and a kiss for everyone who was there".
Bobby, five, and Freddy, four, were earlier brought to the hospital in west London by their father Jeff Brazier.
Flowers were also delivered for the ceremony at the hospital chapel, which was attended by around 20 close family members and friends.
The mother-of-two has only weeks to live after her cervical cancer spread to her liver, groin and bowel.
Goody's husband Jack Tweed and her mother, Jackiey Budden, were also present at the ceremony along with other members of her family.
Clifford said: "It was in my mind that she was saying a final goodbye to some people.
"Jade was obviously very happy with the whole thing; Jeff was there on one side, Jack was there on the other side, and it was a very short and emotional service.
"I think everybody knew just how important it was to Jade."
It had been hoped the ceremony would take place in a church, but Goody, 27, had been heavily sedated.
The service was carried out by hospital chaplain Chris Lee and Corinne Brixton, vicar of St John's church in Buckhurst Hill, Essex, near Goody's home.
Sons' future
Clifford said he believed Goody had enjoyed the service.
"She finds it very hard to stay awake for more than a few minutes but she stayed awake for the 20 minutes of the service.
"It was a very positive atmosphere, after each of the boys were christened everyone clapped and after Jade was christened everyone clapped again.
"It was a very simple service. There were prayers and blessings and a few short readings."
Earlier Clifford had said Goody's two sons were not fully aware of what was going on.
"They know their mother is very ill and that is something the family will help them with.
"The boys will get a party as soon as they can. I think the intention is to take them out today."
Goody has vowed to raise as much money as possible for her sons through media deals before she dies.
Clifford said photographs taken of the service would be published in OK! magazine at a later date.
Pictures of Goody's recent marriage to Tweed have already appeared in the magazine. Tweed, 21, is awaiting sentence after he was found guilty of attacking a taxi driver and threatening to stab him after leaving a club in Essex last year.

Tragic Jade Goody amazed family and friends yesterday by laughing and joking her way through an emotional christening for her boys... before saying a heartbreaking last goodbye.
Jade, 27, refused to shed a tear during the 20-minute ceremony before 30 friends and family despite knowing it was a final farewell for many of them before she dies.
And afterwards the father of her two children, Jeff Brazier, 29, took her hand and vowed he will take care of them when she’s gone.
During a heart-to-heart at her hospital bedside as their boys played on the floor beside them, he told her: “I promise I’ll look after the kids no matter what.”
Plans for a christening in a church had to be rearranged when Jade’s condition worsened.
TV host Jeff has been caring for Bobby, five, and Freddie, four, all week as Jade did not want them to see her in such pain.
But in a hospital gown and looking frail, she summoned the strength to get out of her wheelchair and fulfil her dying wish to be baptised alongside them.
She managed to get through the service even though she faces the final days of her cancer battle.
Defying agonising pain, Jade sat Bobby five, on her lap and had Freddie, four, next to her during the ceremony at the chapel of the Royal Marsden Hospital, London.
She hugged them and held hands with husband Jack Tweed, 21.
A friend said: “When Jade got there and saw the boys on the front pew her eyes were sparkling – but there were no tears because she was determined not to cry. The boys’ faces lit up and they were beaming when she walked in – they hadn’t seen her for over a week. She couldn’t stop kissing them.
“She made a sterling effort – the last thing she wanted to do was upset them. She wanted it to be a happy occasion and was even joking and giggling with them because they didn’t want to get wet from the baptism.”
The friend added: “Jade had a little make-up on for the occasion but not much.
“She clearly made a big effort. She had a smile and a kiss for everyone – but it was clearly her last goodbye to many of them.”
Jade’s mum Jackiey Budden, 50, and her grandparents, John and Sylvia Caddock, were among those who packed the tiny chapel for the Christening by hospital chaplain Chris Lee and Rev Corinne Brixton, of St John’s church, Buckhurst Hill, Essex, near Jade’s home.
Friends included former fitness instructor Kevin Adams and her bridesmaids Kate Jackson, Jennifer Smith, Kelly Reading, Charlene Hull and Caroline Roberts.
Jade’s grandad John, 70, who had walked Jade down the aisle just two weeks ago when she married her sweetheart Jack, said: “It was a lovely ceremony, it really was. Jade spoke to everyone there. But when she came to me I couldn’t speak. I was welling up.
“I couldn’t get the words out. I just gave her a kiss in the end. That said everything I needed to.
“I love her and I wish I was a miracle worker, but I’m not and there is nothing I can do. We all feel helpless, on the sidelines, and nothing we say or do is going to help.
“It’s all out of our hands. There is nothing we can do and that is what is so heart-wrenching.
“Jade is putting a brave face on it, we all are, but deep down we are hurting.
“Any death in the family is heart-breaking. But Jackiey, her mother, shouldn’t have to go through this, let alone grandparents like us.
“I love the kid. She is so young and had her whole life ahead of her. It’s just not right.”
He added sadly: “This did feel like the end. I don’t know when I’ll see her again, if ever. And I don’t even want to think about what the boys do or don’t know. They are growing up fast, and obviously know their mum isn’t well... but how Jade is going to tell them I don’t know.
“I think she has been trying to for a few days but how do you? I can’t cope with it, we are all grief-stricken, so I don’t know how the boys are going to deal with it.”
It will be a miracle if Jade survives another week, It's so sad that another family if being torn apart because of cancer.
:( It is so sad. I seen a picture of her this morning of how she looked last year and she looked so young, free and bubbly.. then I seen a picture of her of how she's looking now and she looks so weak, pale and helpless. You can just see how much she's deteriorated and it's tragic.
Cancer is a horrific thing for any family to go through.
