Mom my has cervical cancer stage 3b in which she is coughing alot. could this means that it went to her lungs?

my mom hasn't seen her period for a year, but 02/2008 she startd bleeding heavly and went to the doctor and was told that she has cervical cancer and now its at stage 3b.. i'm truly worried as she is my entire world and i dont wnat to loose her.. she's is now located in jamaica and i wanted to know if america would be the perfect place for her treatment to begin with, nonetheless will she survive this deadly decease???
i have to say to myself everyday why is this happening to her? because she's the best person, mom, friend and companion anyone could know! I LOVE YOU MOM!

If she has already had surgery and all of her staging exams and she is a 3B then no it has not spread to her lungs. I live in the United States and we do have excellent treatment here. However, it would only be the perfect place for your mother to get treated if her insurance will cover her treatment, if she had a comfortable place to stay and a support system here.

Hi Sunshine,

You can visit these sites. Some share patient stories and most with progressed 2 or 3 still can live a very long life with the radition, Chemo and Hysterectomy. Also stage 4 is when it leaves the woman areas and spreads to other parts of the body. I am not a Dr. but I would think if it had spread to her lungs she would be a 4. The sites below will help clarify staging questions for you.
