Take a look at the site below which explains many misunderstood things about the cancer industry, and has some natural cures too.

There is a technique called cryotherapy, where they actually freeze the area of the cervix that is affected, using liquid nitrogen. But it is only effective for cervical cancers of certain types and they have to be small areas. Usually it's treated with a procedure called conization, where they excise an area in the shape of a pointed ice cream cone. At any rate, they try to minimize damage to cervix as much as possible, while still excising all the cancer.
I understand you must be afraid of more than just going under the knife. If you don't feel that confident that your physician has given you all the information, or explained it all clearly- you should speak to another doctor. You should also ask specifically to discuss all the options available to you.
As much as you dread the idea of surgery, the options are not that many and time is an important consideration. The sooner the cancerous areas are removed, the less likely you are to require a total hysterectomy with removal of the cervix altogether. Cervical cancer can spread quite readily to the bladder and colon, and even multiple other spots. The treatment and cure for those are much more unpleasant than the procedure you are considering. The sooner it is treated, the better your chances for a complete remission. I don't know your age, but if you are worried about the possiblity of having or not having children after the procedure- I can assure you that I have personally known people who did have children afterwards. But this matter too, is best discussed with the Gyn and surgeons caring for you. I hope all goes well, and I am sure you will conquer your nerves over it. Fear is a wonderful thing to help keep us safe most times, but it should never lead us to put our lives in danger. Your life is much to precious to risk not having the procedure.

I don't know the answer, I just wanted to tell you that it is OK to be afraid of surgery. Every body does. But you will not feel any thing. It is like sleeping at night. When you open your eyes at least you solved your problem. You don't want cancer remains in your body right?

Be brave, I wish you all the best. God bless.

there is a out-patient, done in the office freezing thing, and in the office,out-patient laser thing. I had the laser thing in 1987 and have been fine ever since. Tell your doctor that you want to know all your options and do get a second opinion if you think he is still keeping valuable information from you.
