Answer 1

Spontaneous remission is a real phenomena and occurs in all diseases including cancer, but it is very rare.

Answer 2

probably it was a pre invasive cancer that affects epithelial cells of the cervix only without infiltration of the stroma it also known as CIN (cervical intraepithelial neoplasm) or cervical dysplasia and about 60% of the cases heal spontaneously without any treatment the condition is just followed up by vaginal smears

Answer 3

3 tests? Sounds like abnormal Pap smears, not neccessarily cervical cancer. A conclusive test would have been a biopsy.

Cell dyplasia can "clear" up.

Answer 4

Was this a false positive? My mom's friends daughter in law got in from a std virus (it gaave her cervical cancer).Anyways, she should not have kids but never got cancer back

Answer 5

did she really have cervical cancer or just an abnormal pap? an abnormal pap can be nothing, thus future paps can come back clear. either she is a liar, uneducated or you have witnessed a miracle

Answer 6

I suspect that either the tests were incorrectly done, or she is stretching the truth.
miracles have been known to happen, but you see more chickens running around with dentures.

Answer 7

It has been known to happen.

Praise the Lord!

Tell her to check herself every now and then.

Answer 8

lets see....VERY....
