What are the chances of a women with cervical cancer, once treated to become pregnant and carry to term? |
Im reading up on it, but a friend of mine has been diagnosed with cervical cancer and goes in for surgery soon. Just thought I'd ask for your educated opinion on the chances of her being able to have children in the future. I guess it really depends on the severity, but would like some opinions. This site gives details of cancer, the cancer industry, and some links to natural cures. Cancer http://dgwa1.fortunecity.com/body/cancer... Every person is different, but my sister had cervical cancer, had her surgery and was treated with chemotherapy, and has 2 children since then. She became pregnant 2 years after her ordeal, so chances are good. I think it depends on how much of the cervix is removed during surgery. I believe removal of too much can cause an "incompetent cervix" and therefore may cause difficulty in carrying a baby to term. However, doctors can often put in stitches to improve her ability to retain the baby. In essence, cervical surgery wouldn't necessarily preclude a woman from carrying to term (I had a LEEP procedure for cervical dysplasia and went on to carry twins to term), it just depends on how much is removed and whether it compromises the cervix's structure too much. My friend's mom had 4 children post cervical cancer... I WAS DIAGNOISED WITH CERVICAL CANCER IN NOVEMBER OF 2005 I HAD TO HAVE A COMPLETE HYSTERECTOMY SO I CAN NO LONGER HAVE CHILDREN I HAD TO HAVE AN EMERGENCY SURGERY , BEEN DOING GOOD SINCE .SO IT REALLY DEPENDS ON THE STAGE OF CANCER . HOPE EVERYONE THE BEST HERE .THIS IS A DIFFUCLT SITTUATION FOR ANYONE HOPE THE BEST It depends on the surgery she's having. If it's a cone biopsy, then she can get pregnant and go to term, although there is an increased risk of cervical incompetence, and she may need a suture putting in the cervix to help keep it closed. If she has to have more surgery than this, then the likelihood of having a child is highly unlikely, as it is common to remove the uterus as well as the cervix. Treatment with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy can also make a woman infertile. |
