Cancer-stricken reality TV star Jade Goody is being given a new drug to help combat her spreading illness.
The 27-year-old, who was diagnosed with cervical cancer last August, said she was starting a two-month course of Topotecan after being given the news that tumours had now been found in her liver, bowel and groin.
The chemotherapy drug is still being tested in the UK and is used by sufferers who do not respond to more conventional treatments.
Speaking to The Sun Jade said: "It has given me a glimmer of hope."
The newspaper reported yesterday that doctors told her they were now treating her to prolong her life rather than cure the cancer.
Goody, who has lost her hair from chemotherapy treatment, told the newspaper: "I am devastated. I am frightened and I am angry. I don't want to die because I have so much to live for."
Goody’s sons are staying with their father, TV host Jeff Brazier.
