Jade Goody's menopause revelation
Tuesday, 4 November 2008
Jade Goody doesn't "feel like a woman anymore".
The 27-year-old star - who is currently having medical treatment for cervical cancer - admits she feels like she has lost a lot of femininity since undergoing a hysterectomy earlier this year.
She said: "I'm going through the menopause. I'm 27 and I'm having hot flushes. My periods have stopped and I don't feel like a woman any more. I still have my ovaries, but the treatment kills everything. I'm crying one minute, then I'm hot. I'm all over the place."
Jade also revealed she is finding it difficult to accept there is a 50 per cent chance she won't survive the treatment, especially when she has two young sons to look after.
She added to New! magazine: "It's really frightening. It hasn't hit me properly yet. Every now and then a little bit does, like when I had the first chemo and burst into tears, when I had my hair cut, stuff like that. But the whole death thing, I'm convinced it can't happen as I need to be here for my kids.
"I need to be here for my kids. But I've got a 50 per cent chance of living and a 50 per cent chance of dying. It is literally split down the middle. I'm 27 - I don't want to be sat here saying that. It breaks my heart."
