Jade Goody: my cancer is shrinking but I’ll be bald in a fortnight

Jade Goody has said her doctors think she’ll have lost all her hair within a few weeks, thanks to her new chemotherapy regime.

The former Big Brother star chopped off her once long locks when she started her course of cancer treatment in September but her crop held up well until recently. However, she’s now told New magazine that a new run of chemotherapy treatment is likely to leave her bald within a fortnight.

But it’s not all bad news: “I was told my cancer cells have shrunk a little, which means the chemo is working.

“But it’s too soon to say if I have a better chance of survival.”

The reality TV star was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August and was given a 50/50 chance of survival in September after doctors carrying out her hysterectomy found that the cancer had already spread to nearby organs.

In October, she revealed she’d had her eyebrows tattooed on so not to scare her two young sons when the lashes fall out.

She is currently starring in pantomime in Lincoln but had to miss shows over Christmas because of illness.
