If your diagnosed with cervical cancer what are your chances of living?
Posted on Sep 30, 2008 under breast cancer |my mother at 43 was just diagnosed with the worst strain of HPV, the one that is highest risk of causing cervical cancer. im the oldest of her 5 children and i have her first grandchild. not to mention she is pregnant, but miscarrying (abnormal pregnancy due to age and a med she took before she got pregnant). if she gets diagnosed with cervical cancer, what are her chances of living??

Excellent. They will probably give her a hysterectomy and chemo and she can live 20-30 more years - easy. I hope they caught it early. Early is better.

very good if they catch it early.

incredibly high. she caught it early so the chances of it spreading or the doctors not being able to remove it are excellent. It’s a fairly non-invasive surgery (called a LEEP) and once that is successful, the doctors monitor her carefully for 2 years (by more frequent pap smears) and usually it’s gone. But if it does come back, rinse and repeat. Stress to her the importance of not missing a pap test EVER now and she should be fine.

She has genital warts and is a grandmother at the ripe old age of 43. Does she also smoke 40 fags a day by any chance? Is she living on benefits?

I have heard of some cases detected early have about a 92% chance of living. My mum’s friend was young and got it, but got through her ordeal. But some cases detected at the distant stage (when disease has spread to another part of the body) have only a 15% chance of living for five more years. How early was it detected? Because, ulitimately, that is a major factor in determining the outcome. Hope she gets better! God bless.

her chances are great. I was diagnosed also with the worst strain of HPV and she just needs to go for regular check ups. This is a serious but not SERIOUS Cancer…so to speak all cancer is serious but her chances are great!! Now if she would have breast cancer she would have like a 50-50 but I think With Cervical cancer it is like 10-90 she would have a 90 Percent chance living.

If caught early enough, most cancers have a high survival rate.
“The 5-year relative survival rate for the earliest stage of invasive cervical cancer is 92%. The overall (all stages combined) 5-year survival rate for cervical cancer is about 72%.”

Since she knows that she was infected with HPV, and that she is at risk for cancer, she will probably be monitored closely enough that cancer would be detected before it ever advances beyond stage I. The survival rate of stage I cervical cancer is close to 100%.
