Jade Goody described yesterday how she screamed and cried when doctors told her that she has just months to live.
The reality TV star was told on Friday that her cancer had become terminal.
Speaking in the News of the World about the moment she found out there was no hope of recovery she said: "I couldn't breathe when they told me. I just screamed and cried and said, 'Can't anyone do anything to help me!"'
Her spokesman Max Clifford said after learning the news, Goody's boyfriend Jack Tweed, 21, proposed to her - on the eve of Valentine's Day - at her hospital bedside, and the couple now plan to marry as soon as possible.
Goody told the newspaper: "I love Jack with all my heart and I want to be his wife more than anything in the world. And I will be.
"He's devastated but he's really trying to hold it together for me. But as soon as he found out I was going to die he just said, 'Right then we're getting married. You're a special woman, I love you and I would be honoured to call you my wife. And I don't care if it's just for a few weeks'."
Goody, 27, who is in the Royal Marsden Hospital in Chelsea, London said she was desperate to spend what time she has left with Tweed and her two young children, Bobby, five, and Freddie, four.
Mr Clifford said that health permitting, the star planned to spend a few days at her Essex home with her family next week. He explained: "She's hoping to go home for a few days.
"She feels safer in the Marsden because she's in a lot of pain and they control that pain. At the moment she is getting her affairs in order and writing her will to make sure her children are looked after."
Goody, originally from Bermondsey, south London was first diagnosed with cervical cancer in August.
