Can cervical cancer spread through out your body? |
I went to the doc today for a coloscopy! He couldn't do it because he said that my cervix wasn't showing anything after adding the vinegar solution. Says we will have to do a leep just to get a biopsy. He says my displasia is so severe he doesn't understand why we cant see anything. So, my displasia runs deep. I haven't had a pap smear in nine years. So of course I am really very scared. I am 29 years old. A smoker. Just freaks me out! My father died from a stomach cancer. I have a nine year old son. His father died when he was five. i just don't want to leave him to! If anyone has been through a cancer like this please send me some good news! oh, and thanks for your answers! I feel for you. This isn't a direct answer to your question, but just an encouraging comment. I went through cryotherapy (freezing) for mild dysplasia and got it cleared up (about 6 years ago, I'm 28). I was so scared then that I quit smoking, but then started back smoking a year or two later and guess what, the dysplasia came back. I started doing some research, and found that smoking is a MAJOR contributor to cervical dysplasia, like you wouldn't believe. You can run a Google search with cervical dysplasia and smoking in it to see what I'm talking about. (www.webmd.com is a trusted site for medical questions, also) Unbelievably, my doctor had never even asked me if I smoked or not. When my dysplasia came back the second time, I quit smoking again and the dysplasia cleared up in under a year. It's so funny that you mentioned you are a smoker. Maybe your body is one of the kind that is sensitive to cigarette chemicals. Smoking is usually harder on women then men. If you are this scared for your son and yourself, take this opportunity to quit smoking. You can do it. It is hard, I'm not gonna lie, but just make the choice, that cigarette or your life/son, it's that simple. Sooner than you realize, you will shake the habit, especially with the kind of motivation you've got. The surgery you will need for your dysplasia will take care of the immediate problem, but during the healing time, you want your body to be able to heal properly, and you don't want the dysplasia to come back or progress later. The human body is amazing in its ability to heal itself if you give it a chance. I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to your original question, but search the internet and call your doctor tomorrow to find out. I wish you the best, and feel free to email me if you've got any more questions or want to talk about it more. *Any* cancer can spread throughout your body. The medical term for spread of cancer is "metastasis." My maternal grandmother's death certificate. You may want to check out this SITE below. They have a lot of good answers to many questions for you. http://www.medicinenet.com/cervical_canc... sorry, ANY cancer can spread throughout the body (carried by the blood) I know my mother had cancer at age 35. This was 25 years ago, and she is in soooo much better physical condition than me at 43! She had 33 tumors throughout her reproductive system, and even attached to her liver. There are a lot more treatments now than back then. Yes, cervical cancer can spread, but can also be treated. I didn't know what some of the things were you were talking about, but I do know that many women have survived with treatment, to live a long and healthy life. My mom is now a great grandma, and works like a horse! |
