One of my good friends (age 21 female) found out that she has cervical cancer. Now shes very much sexually active And has more then one sex partner.
Does any one know a way i can help her out and show that im there for her? She wants a family when she gets older and i heard once you have you cervix taken out theres not much of a chance of her having kids. Is that true? What are the chances of dying from this cancer?
If you can find any realllly good websites about this or give me stories you have if any. I would really appreciate it so much.

On top of having cancer she needs to have a root canel but she doesnt have dental insurance. Our manager had called a ton of dentist offices to see if they could do anything and all of them said atleast $1000 up front. Shes a pharmacy tech and only makes a whole $8 an hour. Not alot.
If she cant get this root canel is there something else she can do?

Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category? Maybe give some free advice about: Illnesses? sassysara answered Tuesday August 22 2006, 9:36 am: Ok as for the tooth problem, depending on which tooth it is the alternative to a root canal is to pull the tooth. Also call dental schools in your area, they often will charge a minimal fee if you allow a student to perform under the eye of a dentist this is safe and much cheaper. If she has alot of pain she needs to get antibiotics as she has an absess (infection).
As for Cervical cancer; her survival depends on how early they caught it and she rec'd treatment as for kids it depends on the individual and there are so many options out there when trying to concieve. As for showing her you are there what I have found in the past worked for me was I gave my friend in need a card basically saying that you know she is going through a rough time and you are there for her for whatever she needs whether it's a shoulder to cry on or a ride to an appointment.
