No, I was still watching the talent shows when she was on. That was the one where they were assembling a boy band and a girl band, wasn't it? It was very early on, before Cowell got involved. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Considering it has spread I feel she warrants her own thread. Just in the interest of correctness, she's 38, not 36 - she's 39 in November. 52 minutes ago, Toast said: No, I was still watching the talent shows when she was on.

I didn't watch it but I seem to recall the necessary controversy that season was that she got the final place in Girls Aloud instead of Javine, who was seen as the best singer on the show? Girls Aloud had 20 top 10 hits in the UK, Javine represented the UK at Eurovision in 2005. Sliding doors and all that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps 1,425 Posted August 26, 2020 I guess the sound of the underground just got louder for her... This is the second terminal cancer diagnosis following James Whale from a Celebrity Big Brother housemate this month. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is the second terminal cancer diagnosis following James Whale from a Celebrity Big Brother housemate this month. Advanced but is this definitely terminal?

Cancer treatments being on hold for alot of people.Diagnosis of cancer now, is the worse possible time to get it. My colleague who is a heart failure nurse got diagnosed with breast cancer couple of months ago, but managed to have her breast removed so cancer is gone (I think now needs other treatment but I didn't inquire too much). However the reconstructive surgery won't be for 6+ months due to not being urgent. Her treatment is being done at a private hospital as private and NHS hospitals are working together. I work in Cardiology and non urgent referrals for echos have a 5-6 month waiting list? Our department was closed from mid March to end of May. We also did have two echo girls doing tests at a time but we've had to reduce how many people are in the waiting room. That means 10 patients roughly per day rather than 20 and i'm booking up to beginning of November (with gaps for any urgent slots). Our original waiting list for routine appointments was 6-8 weeks from referral date. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spread to multiple "parts" of body not just one.Liver is normally where breast cancer metastasised too first so you are probably looking at liver metastasis as well as another organ or bones.
