'I'm terrified my cancer has spread and I'll die in my 30s,' says heartbroken Jade Goody

The mother-of-two, 27, who is preparing for a hysterectomy next week, was fully briefed on her condition by doctors yesterday.

'It was even worse than I was expecting,' Jade was quoted in the Daily Mirror as telling a close friend.

She reportedly sobbed: 'They told me about the worst case scenario - where I might not even survive 10 years. I'm all over the place. I can't stop crying.'

Goody's publicist Max Clifford confirmed the report, telling MailOnline: 'She's very frightened and upset.'

Distraught: Jade Goody puts on a brave face yesterday

Before starting chemotherapy and radiotherapy, Jade will have an exploratory operation to find out if the cancer has moved to any other part of her body, or her blood.

Mother-of-two Jade has also been left heartbroken by the thought of never having another baby.

She has vowed to adopt another child as she prepares for her hysterectomy next week, it was reported last night.

But before she can even think of expanding her family she must undergo extensive treatment.

Jade is quoted as telling her friend: 'I know I have to get through this. I have now had to give up any hope of having children, but I'm already thinking about adopting.

'I am trying to be strong for my boys, but it is so hard. At times I am in bits - I know I need to be positive but I can't stop thinking about the fact I could be dead before my boys are even grown up.

'It all seems like a bad dream. My life has been torn apart in the space of a few weeks.'

Jade's form of cervical cancer has a 90 per cent survival rate if it has not spread. But if can spread through the tissue around the cervix or the lymphatic system. If this happens the survival rate is halved and if it is seemingly cured and then returns it is a death sentence.
