British reality show star Jade Goody disclosed that she neglected a note saying that she
needed to have abnormal cells removed from her cervix uteri as she was too frightened to return to hospital.
Jade, who is now fighting grievous stage 2 cervical cancer, had already experienced three abnormal smear examinations after enduring an operation to take away the cells, a report said.
After her fourth abnormal smear, she disregarded a letter advising her to go back to hospital, instead trusting that the illness would get away on its own.
