I think probably the family don't need reminders - I can't imagine they would be able to forget, or to think of anything else!
As for being in the public eye, I think in some ways this can be a good thing if it makes only one girl get her screening without putting it off, and catch this awful disease early enough, then the publicity of it is worth it. I think there was a girl on the radio earlier this week who read all the news and started thinking 'that could be me' and so went to get tested...was a good thing she did and they think they have found it early enough - I do hope so.
I can see downsides to the whole publicity thing though - for one it's maybe not particularly dignified...but what the hell, it's Jade's life, presumably her decision, I say let her do what she wants.
As for what went on with Shillpa Shetty, I didn't really follow that so have little idea what went on...but whatever happened or who was at fault, no one in the world deserves to suffer this - she is only 27 - same age as me, so it hits home a little.
