Goody having pain relief surgery | |
(1 day later) | |
Terminally ill reality TV star Jade Goody is expected to have an emergency operation to help relieve her pain. | |
Goody, 27, was admitted to London's Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London on Monday to clear a blockage. | |
Publicist Max Clifford said that the surgery, if successful, would improve her quality of life. | |
The mother-of-two, who married eight days ago, has only weeks to live after her cervical cancer spread to her liver, groin and bowel. | |
Clifford said that Goody's pain was centred on the left side of her pelvis. | |
Goody is expected to be moved back to the Royal Marsden Hospital at some point after the procedure. | |
"The most important thing is that they got the pain under control last night and she has managed to have a good night's sleep which is something she hasn't had for a few days," Clifford told GMTV. | |
'Very emotional' | |
Clifford said Goody's sons, Bobby, five, and four-year-old Freddie, may visit their mother in hospital later "providing she is well enough and out of pain". | |
He added Goody hoped to return home soon saying: "She just wants to be at home with the kids and obviously with [husband] Jack." | |
Clifford said he had had a "very emotional" phone call with Goody, who was first diagnosed with cancer last year. | Clifford said he had had a "very emotional" phone call with Goody, who was first diagnosed with cancer last year. |
"She's very frightened. She was sobbing on the phone to me. She said: 'Why can't they get me out of all this pain?'" | |
Goody is due to be christened next Saturday at a church close to her home, along with her sons. | |
She also plans to record a television interview with Piers Morgan for ITV early next week, Mr Clifford said. | She also plans to record a television interview with Piers Morgan for ITV early next week, Mr Clifford said. |
