awhike ago i had a question about my mom having a yeast infection and she went to the doctor and they told her she had cervical cancer, thats what she told me on the phone. she was also really messed up on tranquilizers and i couldnt understand what she was saying..what does cervical cancer do, and is she going to die? What do i do?
OrionsFire answered Wednesday May 25 2005, 2:29 pm: Uh, it is NOT caused by having sex. Everyone would have cervical cancer at that point. Your mother will most likely not die, they scrape the cells and at the very most do a hysterectomy to get rid of any cancerous cells. As far as what you can do, just be supportive of your mother.

PinkPrincess42 answered Wednesday May 25 2005, 11:32 am: Well, doctors say that cervical cancer is caused by sex~ thats why women have to go for a yearly papsmear. Most sufferers make a full recovery, if the cancer is detected early enough. It the cancer persists for a long amount of time, going unnoticed, that will lead to a higher risk of death. If you want to know all about cervical cancer (causes, symptoms, treatments) I found you a website! I will pray for your friend. I wish you the best!
Michele answered Wednesday May 25 2005, 10:50 am: Well it is a very very serious issue. I am surprised that the doctor told her so soon. Usually they have to do a test, and then tell you when they get the test results. it takes a week or so. Anyway, it is not fatal, if she follows the doctors orders. Depending on how advanced it is. She may have to have surgery and have her uterus removed. The cervix is the opening of the uterus. she will no longer be able to have children, but maybe that won't be a problem. If they remove all of the cancer by removing her uterus, she will be OK. She may have to have chemotherapy. Her attitude is going to be a major factor in her recovery. Staying zoned out on tranquilizers is not going to help. Be kind, be helpful, be thoughtful and be supportive. But if she decides that her life is over, then you have to let her know that that is not true. She can join a cancer support group. And also pray.
I hope your mom will be OK. women survive cervical cancer all the time. So be hopeful.

Daisy answered Wednesday May 25 2005, 8:15 am: Cervical cancer is a very common form of cancer and, if detected quickly enough, most sufferers make a full recovery. The doctors will have to assess the situation and your mum will most likely have an operation to remove the cancerous parts and then a course of chemotherapy or radiotherapy to kill the remaining cancerous cells. It all depends on whether they have caught it in time. If you want, you can always call up her doctor and get him/her to explain to you exactly what's going on and what you can do to help. Hope I have helped a little [ Daisy's advice column | Ask Daisy A Question ]
EJ47 answered Tuesday May 24 2005, 11:59 pm: Cervical cancer. Bah. Cancer in general. Ugh.
Cervical cancer causes the normal cancer issues, and also causes infertility. Basically if she has a tumor in the cervix, she can't give birth or the child might have birth defects. It might eventually spread to the fallopian tubes, then an egg won't even pass.
