Please speak to her oncologist about it. He is the only one who can tell you what is going to happen and what the treatment options will be for her. You can visit when your sister attends and ask all the questions you have then.
Give your sister the most support you can because she really needs it and she'll appreciate it so much. Cancer patients are so fragile and scared themselves so you need to be thinking about the future for them and letting them know how much you care and are excited to share it with them.
Fact is that cancer progresses in stages and the earlier it is discovered, the easier a time the patient will have either getting rid of it entirely or getting it under control:
- Getting rid of it entirely is difficult but could allow her to return to a pretty much normal life assuming an operation was successful at getting all the cancerous cells.
-Keeping it under control depends on a persons genetics and how they react to the drug treatments and can decrease life expectancy to only a number of years, although it can happen that a normalish life (outside the drugs/hormone treatment) could be possible.
Sorry for your news, cancer takes front and center stage whenever it appears.

If she gets treatment early enough she'll be fine. My mom had cervical cancer when she was 21. Her doctors told her she might not be able to have kids but she had 2. Just ensure she seeks treatment and be there for her. It will be very difficult for her

there isnt a cure for cancer, but there are treatments. if its not too late she can get surgery. if she dosent it is very rare she will survive. there are 4 cancer levels. level 1 is the best time to find out if you have cancer becuz then and get healed faster and easily. level 4 is the worst level. it is serious and the patient will be very sick. if someone is on level 3 and 4, then they need to take at least 5 yrs to heal themselves. ur sis might have to go through kimo theraphy and it will be really really really hard. her hair will start to fall out and she will start to look weak and old. good luck. ur sis can make it through and survive.=)

She'll have to go through a lot of uncomfortable treatment, but it can be cured if caught soon enough.

If it's been discovered in the early stages, she will be fine. There is surgery also, if she's had it for longer. Why don't you ask to see her doctor so you can ask him yourself? I'm sure he would see you.
You will be more support for your sister if you believe she is going to be ok, and the best way for this to happen is for you to find out more. Best wishes to you all.

It depends if you get her checked out in time she might live but if the doctors don't find the canser she might die.
