My sister in law was married but she didnt have any children. She lived a little under 12 years after her diagnosis. She passed in January of 2019, she was living a full and normal life until around March of 2018. The last 9 months of her life was pure misery for everyone. I hope and pray that your ex can live beyond 12 years. God bless.
Anyone knowledgeable about cancer? My youngest daughter's mom has cervical cancer...

not all docs are the same. get her to the best docs / best hospitals in your state, or next metropolitan area, or the best of those that her insurance allows.
@murksiderock edit: talked to my wife who is a doc, not specialized in cancer. she also recommended getting your daughter, and the rest of the kids genetically screened as well to understand their potential risks in the future. otherwise she said to let the docs do their work if their plan sounds good and mitigate any other causal factors you can, weight/diet/smoking/drinking etc.

Get to know the other members of her support system. Some days she may not have the energy to communicate or may sleep for long periods.
It's better for coordinating around her needs, staying in the loop, and keeping the primary caretaker from burning out if it becomes a long battle

First off, best wishes to you and your family. Second, before you start treatment try to get a second opinion quickly.
Third, staging is the most important thing at this time. As has been said, staging involves the location of the primary cancer and whether it has spread to other organs and lymph nodes locally or further away in the body. You also need to know the type of cervical cancer due to cell type. There are two types adeno carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. The type may determine how well she responds to therapy.
Fourth, the staging will determine the treatment which may include radiation therapy (xrays to prevent the spread), chemotherapy (chemicals that directly kill the cancer cells) or surgery ( cutting out the tissue ).
This is very sad because this woman is so young. Cervical cancer is preventable with the vaccination or barrier protection during sex.
The last thing I want to say and it is very difficult, because she is a woman with 4 kids, she has to get a will and an advanced directive.
God bless.

Sorry OP. advanced cancer diagnosis is tough and frustrating one, especially in someone so young.
The prognosis depends on whether its just regional metastasis to lymph nodes or if it has spread to other tissues. Sounds like its stage 3 or 4 if surgery is not an option. Chemoradiation can can extend life and there are treatments for complications like invasion of the bladder or ureters. But without knowing more, this sounds like overall bad news. Five year survival rate of stage 3 cervical cancer is around 50% with treatment. For stage 4, 5 year survivor rate is pretty low.
Depending on where you live I'll definite suggest going to a hospital with a cancer center. They might provide additional options like targeted immunotherapy based on the characteristics of the cancer cells.
Someone mentioned it earlier but as morbid as it sounds she needs to get a will, set up an advanced directive. She'll need all the support and therapy possible, facing death at such a young age is horrible.
Everyone should get their daughters and spouse vaccinated (if they are still within the age limit). I am pretty extreme with it cos I pressure/make every woman I am dating to get annual Pap smears.

I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds!
Sorry to hear this news, stay strong for your family.
All I know is that she may end up needing a hysterectomy. Also this is why they encourage youth to get that HPV shot bc it could linger and develop into types of cancer later in life

Once cancer spreads from the original site to other organs it's only a matter of time.

Prayers to you my breh and I'm sorry to hear that she's going thru this. Especially at such a young age. My BM ain't involved in my daughter's life at all, so I can definitely feel for you if your BM was on her shyt and y'all were able to maintain a parental relationship. That shyt is dope asf and admirable from my position.
Stay positive and pray for the best. I'll definitely pray for y'all.
Edit: my BM just Facebook called me, it's her birthday today and I completely forgot
. She's with my daughter right now so that's at least a good thing.

My paternal grandfather and 3 of his siblings died from prostate cancer. My father was lucky and beat it. My maternal grandmother died from lung cancer 2years ago. I wouldn’t wish cancer on anybody…well almost anybody.

Sorry to hear about that.
My ex gf had this diet when she was diagnosed. She was getting treatment in 2 different countries. She passed away a year and a half later. She was her mothers only child.
It's best to be taking this as part of your diet.
