Thank you for your reply. I had a cervical biopsy but will also be having a PET scan this coming week and then an ultrasound guided biopsy. I have been doing a lot of reading and I am feeling overwhelmed. The prognosis for the surgery doesn’t sound great and other therapies seem to just manage the disease.

@mariannie2 you'll find several people in Reddit cervical cancer sub who have had extenteration. But yes, my doc had told me this isn't going to go away, we are just managing it as long as we can. If you are able to get genetic testing that's a potentially valuable point of knowledge for treatment options.

But generally we just had lousy luck to get this type that is virtually non-existent.

@mariannie2 I am hoping the PET scan and ultrasound guided biopsy will provide you and your cancer care team with additional information to guide your treatment.

Where are you reading the information? I stay away from Googling and try to find valid and reliable websites where I can better trust the information. What are these websites? These will generally be websites that end with .org or .edu such as MayoClinic.org. Sometimes the websites will be U.S. government websites that end in .gov such as NIH. If you find websites in other countries such as Canada then the website will end with .ca.

Another good option is to search Google Scholar. You will find articles and information more likely to be valid and reliable. You get there by typing Google Scholar in the Search bar or click on this:

I understand feeling overwhelmed as I felt that way when I was first diagnosed with endometrial cancer and then had a recurrence two years later. Are you interested in looking for another medical opinion at a different cancer care center?
