English reality staple Jade Goody checked into the hospital Friday morning for an eight hour operation. According to reports, surgeons will 'fight to save her from the grasp of cervical cancer'.

The Big Brother star's rep said the following about her operation:

"It will either be a radical hysterectomy which will take eight hours or it will be another operation called smoothing the glands. It depends on what they find when they go in. If it is the smoothing the glands operation it will take around four hours. We hope it will be the radical hysterectomy because that means the cancer hasn't spread. In that case she will be in intensive care for about 24 hours. We'll find out in the evening when we speak to her surgeon. She is unconscious at the moment and it's all going on as we speak. I spoke to her last night and she was as comfortable as possible and trying to be positive but was obviously feeling very scared as any 27-year-old in that situation would. She is in the best possible hands."

Keep fighting, Jade, and stay strong.
