Question

my grandmother had cervical cancer about 30 years ago, and was just diagnosed with ovarian cancer. is it common to get both types of cancer?

Answer 1

No. They aren't related to each other though.
I'll be praying for her.

Answer 2

Here's the thing. Cancer isn't one illness. It's a very large number of illnesses each of which have similar qualities.

Some of the treatments that you grandmother received 30 years ago may have been part of the reason that she has no been diagnosed with another type of cancer, but that's some and may. Really, therre is no way to know.

Answer 3

There are more than one hundred types of cancers and each type of cancer has different symptoms. Many of these symptoms are also associated with common ailments, so only thorough checkup by a doctor, can identify the real problem . More details and information at http://candp.org/

Answer 4

yes it is especially since it is more common that people are getting HPV, cervical cancer can develop and increases the chance of getting other forms of cancer...look up cervical cancer on the net it will let you know i would let you know but I don't know where or how you grandma got cervical cancer, all i know is that my friend got it from hpv and it increased her chances of getting different types of cancer

Answer 5

Cancer is a class of diseases or disorders characterized by uncontrolled division of cells and the ability of these cells to spread, either by direct growth into adjacent tissue through invasion, or by implantation into distant sites by metastasis (where cancer cells are transported through the bloodstream or lymphatic system).

Answer 6

No it is not common. Your grandmother was just one of a very unlucky few. I hope they caught it in time and they can remove it all. My prayers are with you
