My mom has been recently diagnosed and had surgery to remove her female organs. They found cervical and ovarian tumors. She begins chemo a week from Monday. She is 62. At the moment she is just as perky as ever, even considering surgery. She was painting and hanging fans just two days ago. LOL. I can tell you that if she goes down, she will go down swinging. :0) That is just my mom's way.

yes it does matter if you are pre or post menopausal. \nI haven't looked into it for a while but a few years ago, premenopausal women were recommended for chemo. it probably also depends on the type of tumour you had. i believe some are more receptive to different types of treatment.\nmake sure you choose a good specialist, and ask what she/he recommends.

OMG DON"T LISTEN TO THESE IDIOTS!  You do not have to have a c-section. I've had hpv (not HIV) for 10+ years, had numerous cryosurgeries etc.  I have had 3 healthy children vaginally, two were born at home with a midwife in water.  And you know what, it gets better, it's a virus...just like that cold you had last month or the flu that you had got last fall, and especially these kinds of viruses tend to go dormant for years if not forever, I have had clean paps for 3 years now and my practitioner says come visit her every 2 years or so now, and that I'll probably never have to worry about hpv again.  And the latest studies show that some rediculous # like 85%+ of college girls once out of college have one of the over 2000 strains of hpv.  So every tom dick and harry would be having a c-section, even though most doctors push them on people for money reasons and insurance crap (the fear of malpractice-since everyone is so sue crazy these days)  Talk to your practitioner, if you don't like the answer you get, get a 2nd opinion, don't go letting them cut on your body just to scare you and make a few extra bucks.  get a hold of me if you need to talk.  Good luck!

I was married when I was 20 years old I went to my honeymoonwhen I went to atlanta I started to had really bad pain in my stomach so my husband rush me to the ER, they told I was like 4 month pregnant and right there I know it couldnt be because I marry been a virgin. My husband took me to Arizona where they rush me to a hospital for a histerectomy. The doctor was so good with me that just took out the ovary that had clear cell carcinoma but she told me that i had to have a child before 3 years because the CA it was going to come back, I had 2 kids in a period of 3 years but I didnt take her advise and was back at the cancer hospital when I was 26 where I nearly died...  Was on chemo for 6 months. Right now Im in remision. Here is a descripction of ovarian cancer.\nOvarian cancer is disproportionately deadly for a number of reasons. First, symptoms are vague and non-specific, so women and their physicians frequently attribute them to more common conditions. By the time the cancer is diagnosed, the tumor has often spread beyond the ovaries. More than 60% of patients presenting with this disease already have stage III status.\n\nAlso, ovarian cancers shed malignant cells into the naturally occurring fluid with the abdominal cavity. These cells then have the potential to float in this fluid and frequently implant on other abdominal (peritoneal) structures includind the uterus, urinary bladder, bowel, and lining of the bowel wall (omentum). These cells can begin forming new tumor growths before cancer is even suspected.\n\nSecond, because no cost-effective screening test for ovarian cancer exists, more than 50 % of women with ovarian cancer are diagnosed in the advanced stages of the disease.\n\nOvarian cancer is rarely diagnosed in its early stages; it is usually quite advanced by the time diagnosis is made. The outcome is often poor. The five-year survival rate for all stages is only 35 % to 38 %. If, however, diagnosis is made early in the disease, five-year survival rates can reach 90 % to 98 %. Germ Cell Ovarian Cancer has a much better prognosis, but is rarer.\n\nDespite this poor prognosis, patients should keep in mind that all such studies are retrospective in nature: i.e., they can only look into past results. Therefore they cannot take into account the benefits on survival that newer therapies may provide.

There are over 30 kinds of HPV. I have read even up to 100. Most kinds don't do anything or show any symptoms, that's why is it so easily spread from person to person. After all it is the number one STD. \n\nSince you both have the virus it doesn't matter if you have unprotected sex. It is a virus and will stay with you the rest of your life. It's not like you are going to reinfect each other or make it worse. There currently is no cure for HPV right now. \n\nYou need to be going to your OBGYN at least once a year though, because HPV can cause cervical cancer which kills 300,000 women a year! It can also cause genital warts, which although annoying, are treatable. Women usually don't find out they have HPV until they get an abnormal pap smear come back, or they develop genital warts. Both can be treated. Men usually find out they have it by developing genital warts, which can also be treated.\n\nI have had HPV for about 5 years now. I got cervical cancer about a year after I got it, and just six months ago I got genital warts. It can take a while to show any signs or symptoms.

this lady is not looking to know what the virus is\nyou people that go on a website and paste shit are stupid.\nnow anyway i have had my hpv for about 5 yrs now. and my warts were small also and i went threw the acid treatments i know what u are feeling and believe me i am so thankful they are all gone. i quit smoking also but i started back up again and they still went away. they said there is a vacine not to get it but so far nothing for us people that have it. maybe one day we will get lucky enough i think they are more worried about the aids and cancer though. it does seem a bit more important. the cream is expensive but it is worth it in the long run. u can do ur own treatments at home and alot less painful then that acid. go to the store and get some imune system builders and build ur imune system up thats ur best bet eat a healthy diet exercise. i was shaving the one time and i had one down there and i cut it off with the razor omg did that hurt... to make ur treatments less painful. do not shave down there until the virus is sleeping. and don't wash ur skin down there 4 hrs before u go to the doctor. take some pain medacation about a hour before ur doctors visit. until your body can fight it off to sleep mode then u don't really got much of a choice but to follow them simple steps and get the cream its so much better then having to drive to the doc and not be able to sit on the way home. good luck and keep me posted as to how u are comming along and if what i told u works.....

How old and what sex are you?

Why do you believe that you have ovarian or cervical cancer? I don't believe there is a correlation between yeast infections and the cause these cancers.\n\nHere is some information on vaginal infections:\nhttp://www.emedicinehealth.com/articles/6895-2.asp\n\nFollow-up with your gynecologist for further questions.

I had pre-cancer and cryosurgery.  Then i had kids.  So at least at one level the answer is yes.  But i don't know what kind of surgery you had to cure your cervical cancer.

I am not sure of the exact numbers and it depends on the strain that you have. Some strains have zero risk of cervical cancer and others have a much higher risk. The good news is cervical cancer can be prevented by regular pap tests and getting treatment if any abnormal cells do appear.\n\nMy doctor told me that in 30 years of practice he has seen 2 cases of cervical cancer (which could have been prevented with yearly paps).

No there isn't.  Cervical dysplasia can be something that just happens, but is usually from a sexually transmitted disease called Human Papilloma Virus.  There are many different types of the virus and certain ones are at much higher risk for causing cervical cancer.  As long as you get regular pap smears, these cellular changes can usually be treated before actual cancer occurs.

I had a pap to come back with ASCUS (atypical squamous of undetermined significance). I was HPV negative. What was you, positive or negative? That makes a big difference. They repeated my pap at 6 months, it was normal and then I was put back at yearly. They have been negative since. My doctor said I probably had a little inflammation from my birth control or a yeast infection. Best of luck. What have your previous biopsies showed?

Poor you...I know I had to be tested regulalry and mine cleared up. If it doesnt you do need laser surgery to prevent it becoming cancerous. the cure rate is good because cancer hasnt occurred from it yet...if its still just HPV or dysplasia.\n\nGood luck with the healing and take your meds regulalry to dull any pain. Talk to your Dr if you are still worried but you really shouldnt be..because you are being treated and not left with the condition. Its a common condition...so dont feel you are alone.

Are you referring to the Pap test?  The pap test checks for changes in the cells of the cervix. The Pap test can tell if you have an infection, abnormal (unhealthy) cervical cells, or cervical cancer. It can find the earliest signs of cervical cancer - a common cancer in women. If caught early, the chance of curing cervical cancer is very high. Pap tests also can find infections and abnormal cervical cells that can turn into cancer cells. Treatment can prevent most cases of cervical cancer from developing. It is important for all women to have pap tests, along with pelvic exams, as part of their routine health care. You need a Pap test if you are:\n21 years or older \nunder 21 years old and have been sexually active for three years or more \nThere is no age limit for the Pap test. Even women who have gone through menopause (when a woman's periods stop) need regular Pap tests.\nIf you are younger than 30 years old, you should get a Pap test every year. \nIf you are age 30 or older and have had three normal Pap tests for three years in a row, talk to your doctor about spacing out Pap tests to every two or three years. \nIf you are ages 65 to 70 and have had at least three normal Pap tests and no abnormal Pap tests in the last 10 years, ask your doctor if you can stop having Pap tests. \nYou should have a Pap test every year no matter how old you are if:\nYou have a weakened immune system because of organ transplant, chemotherapy or steroid use \nYour mother was exposed to diethylstilbestrol (DES) while pregnant \nYou are HIV-positive

I suggest having a talk with a few doctors about this.  It is always good to get a second and sometimes a third opinion regarding matters such as these.  I don't know much about cancer, but I feel for you having such a large decision to make at such a young age.  DO the research on survival rates after both types of surgery, talk to a few doctors, and go with your gut decision.  Good luck.

Cervical cancer is caused by HPV, but so far as I am aware there still isn't a link between sexually transmitted infections and other cancers. \n\nWithout knowing how agressive your sister's cancer is, it's impossible to say how long she's had it - but it seems likely that she's had it since before she got married, if it is so advanced that they can't do anything surgically to treat it. \n\nMy sympathies.

i know exactly how you feel girl..the guy that i lost my virginity to actually maybe the guy that gave me hpv it looks as if after i had sex with him that he had clyamidha..and tried to say that i was the one that gave it to him ..which i know is impossible being as he is the first guy i was ever with..i then went and had myself checked for all stds and at that time i had contracted nothing...now i am 31yrs old and always and i do mean always practice safe sex i was recently diagnosed with hpv a year ago due to a abnormal pap smear i evidently do not have the strain that produces genital warts..which im grateful for but it still is such a slap in the face to know that youve always practiced safe sex and that now i have hpv...keep your chin up and i hope that your outbreak clears up soon 8)
