Published on February 5, 2009 at 1:42 PM

British reality star, Jane Goody, who shot to fame during her time on ‘Big Brother’, has just begun an experimental drug to deal with her cervical cancer.The treatment of a two month trial on Topotecan was started after Goody was told that tumors had spread across her liver, groin, and into her intestines, a dangerous combination that shows a dramatic spread in her cancer.

“I am devastated. I am frightened and I am angry,” she told reporters. “I don’t want to die because I have so much to live for.”

“The reality is I have gone from a 40 per cent chance of a cure to seeing how long I can stay alive.”
She added, when asked about the new drug, “It has given me a glimmer of hope.”

Goody was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August, and has been fighting against the disease ever since.
