The reality star revealed doctors initially gave her the all clear, and sent her away with just pain killers for period pain.
Jade was told of her cancer diagnosis while in the Indian Big Brother house last month, but now claims she wasn't aware the conversation was being filmed.
She told GMTV that her symptoms were initially dismissed: 'I was in hospital for a week, and they didn't do anything because they didn't know what it was, even though it was the fourth time I had been there for the same reason.
'They did a belly scan and everything was fine, even my blood, so they said to me it was either a bad period or stress.'In the end I began to feel really frustrated, like they were insulting my intelligence, I thought they thought I was being a hypochondriac and lying about it.
'I made a conscious effort to tell them that I was going away for a long period of time and they wouldn't be able to get in touch, and would that be OK. They said I was fine and I was fit and healthy.'
But Jade later received the bombshell news in the Diary Room of the Indian version of the reality show that she had cancer, and found out that it had spread.The 27-year-old star, who now faces having a hysterectomy because of the disease, explained how she now feels strong enough to fight for her life, and how the blow has brought her closer to her two sons Bobby, five, and three-year-old Freddie.
She said: 'My mum looked after the boys when I first found out because I wasn't physically strong enough - I was breaking down all the time.
'Don't get me wrong, I'm not made of iron, I still break down, but I'm a lot stronger now. 'I've got to go tomorrow to find out what treatment I need. The doctor's told me over the phone, but he wants to sit me down and tell me step by step because it's quite sensitive.
'My first thought was cancer, chemo, death, because that's all I know of it. source
