CANCER-STRICKEN Jade Goody is determined to see her young sons christened tomorrow.
Pals of terminally-ill Jade had said she was “far too ill” to go through with the emotional ceremony at a church.
But today Jade’s publicist Max Clifford said the star still held out hope it would take place “subject to everything being ok” at her hospital's chapel instead.
Doting Jade's last dying wish is to be baptised in church with Bobby, five, and Freddie, four.
But the 27-year-old is still heavily sedated at Royal Marsden Hospital after being transferred there for a bowel operation.
Mr Clifford said the ceremony would take place just before midday.
he said the event would be a “small affair” with about 20 to 30 close family members and friends.
He added: “In terms of parties, that will have to wait. It’s what Jade wanted to do.”

Asked how Jade, who has been given weeks to live, is at the moment, he said: “She’s heavily sedated, sleeping most of the time, not really wanting visitors.
“She just says a few words and wants to go to sleep. We hope that things will pick up.”
Yesterday Jade could barely open her eyes after being sedated.
Mr Clifford confirmed: “If people go and see her it’s literally a case of her opening her eyes, saying, ‘Hi, how are you?’ and going back to sleep again.
Hoping
“It’s a result of the medication she’s on. So, of course, in those circumstances the christening can’t go ahead.”
A church near Jade’s Essex home had been booked for the christening — set to feature in the same celebrity mag that forked out for exclusive rights to her wedding two weeks ago when she tied the knot with freed lag Jack Tweed, 21.
Jade, who has been given only weeks to live, is determined to raise as much as she can to leave to her boys — who were yesterday being cared for by their TV presenter dad Jeff Brazier.
She declared before her spreading cervical cancer forced her to undergo bowel surgery this week: “I want them to understand that mummy will be in heaven watching over them.
“It’s really important to me now that they learn about Jesus.”
A close friend said: “The christening was not just a cynical attempt to make some money for her boys.
“Jade genuinely wants to be baptised before she dies. She is still hopeful this can be done. But time is running out for her.”
The friend who visited her said the mum would be “devastated” if she is not reunited with her sons tomorrow — after not seeing them for almost a week.
Despite her grogginess Jade was said to be feeling “slightly better” yesterday as husband Jack spent hours at her bedside with his mum Mary.
He arrived with gifts of fresh undies from lingerie shop Intimo and an outfit from fashion chain Zara.
Jade was shattered when Jack was this week warned in court he faced a fresh jail stretch after a second conviction for assault.
He is out of prison on a night curfew at his mum’s home over the first attack — and must wear a tag.
On Tuesday officials lifted the curfew for one night — as they did for his wedding — so he could keep a vigil at Jade’s bedside.
But yesterday it was back in force — meaning he had to leave the hospital.
