Question

What are the treatments available?

Answer 1

Are you sure this is the correct forum for asking such questions, bearing in mind that any Tom, Dick or Harriette can say anything?

The NHS website has information: http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/articles/article.aspx?articleID=77
They also have a 24-hour phone line.

Seek professional advice.

Since it's cancer, it's not that high in the first place. But for a 62 year old, the chances are much slimmer. The reasons are that when you are getting older (being past 40's or 50's), your immune system is usually weakening because it's harder to maintain a high level of immunity and protection in the body. You are less active, your hormone levels are lower, less energetic, and all contributes to slimming the chances of survival.

As for treatments, chemotherapy may be the only real treatment available, but because of the age, I would be worried of how the person would hold up in such an intensive theraputic care. Other treatments maybe be available such as medicines that may help put the cancer in recession or slow down the damage cancer may be doing. But there are no cures for cancer, so you're options are fairly limited unfortunately.

In the sources is a great website about cervical cancer and other treatments that you can try to go through. But again, with cancer survival is usually low. Good luck.

Media is also involve in it, they are force to stop showing the real economic situation to the people. I start getting more concern about my future as well as my family after watching the response of our Government for the people that affected by hurricane Katrina.
