Jordan faces cancer fight.
GLAMOUR model and new mother Jordan is staying ``remarkably upbeat'' as she battles a rare form of cancer, according to her spokesman.The 24-year-old was diagnosed just days after it was confirmed that her baby Harvey, born incurably blind, also has a growth defect.
The cancer, called leiomyosarcoma (LMS), attacks the smooth muscle cells found throughout the body and started with a tiny lump on her finger.
Her spokesman, Dave Read, said: ``It is absolutely unbelievable. ``Jordan hasn't even come to terms with Harvey's condition yet, and now she has to deal with this too.'' LMS affects just four in a million people and in late stages there is only a 50-50 chance of survival.
