Am I to young to have cervical cancer? |
my doctor just recently did a pap and came back postive for cancer cells and she said i would have to have a hysterecomy. am i to young? Cancer does not wait for the age. Now a days all types of cancer attacks all persons. Only elderly women get Cervical cancer but in rare cases it is seen in unmarried youngsters also, if they have genital warts and due to certain genital infections. If your doctor has confirmed the Pap Smear test as positive he will do a biopsy and remove the tumor. This will be followed by Chemotherapy and radiation therapy. I think your case will be in an early stage and it can be cured. Please do not worry and act as per the advice of your doctor and you will be alright soon. Bu you have to have complete treatments as CANCER IS STILL AN ENIGMA and should be treated completely. Some of the signs and symptoms of Cervical Cancer are - The early stages of cervical cancer may be completely asymptomatic (Canavan & Doshi, 2000). Vaginal bleeding, contact bleeding or (rarely) a vaginal mass may indicate the presence of malignancy. Also, moderate pain during sexual intercourse and vaginal discharge are symptoms of cervical cancer. In advanced disease, metastases may be present in the abdomen, lungs or elsewhere. The possibility to identify premalignant changes on a cervical smear has made screening the major cause for referral of women with possible cervical neoplasia. In many countries, women are advised to have a regular Pap smear to check for premalignant changes. Recommendations for how often a Pap smear should be done vary from once a year to once every five years. If cervical cancer is detected early, it can be treated without impairing fertility. Consistently abnormal smears may be a reason for further diagnosis despite complete absence of symptoms. The course of treatment etc., will be decided by your Oncologist depening upon the grade and stage of the disease and your general health condition. All the best for speedy recovery - Source(s): -Portions from Medical references no see if it gentic it can acour at any time how old are you? nobody is ever too young for it, but it is treatable! cancer doesn't care about your age, it is unfortunate for a young woman, but surgery is better than death. As long as you have a cervix you aren't too young. I'd get a second opinion before I scheduled surgery though. How old are you? probably not- most of the time it's genetic |
