Doctor: ‘Goody could have been saved’

A Harley Street physician has claimed Jade Goody's life could have been saved.

Reality TV star Jade Goody's life could have been saved a Harley Street consultant has told the Daily Mirror. Dr Ann Coxon has called for an NHS inquiry after saying that Jade's cancer was spotted far too late despite the reality TV getting hospital treatment for internal bleeding four times in 2007 following a miscarriage. "If the hospital had made the diagnosis on Jade's first admission, she would be alive today," Coxon explained. "If a woman complains of abnormal bleeding and has a history of abnormal cells at the age of 16 and two courses of laser treatment, the possibility of malignant change must be paramount in the doctor's mind. On all four of her admissions to hospital, nobody did her smear, nobody looked at her cervix. On her last admission she was told her ultrasound was normal. It can't have been. The tumour was the size of a large lemon. Jade just accepted that people make mistakes. I do not have the same forgiving nature. There should have been an inquiry. As far as I know, there hasn't. Jade should not have had to pay this price."
