Oh. Very fast. You cot imagine -

My wife 55 years of age had one of the symptoms abnormal bleeding one fine morning and next day I took her to a gynecologist, who did her D & C procedure and took biopsy samples. The Biopsy sample was tested and on the 3rd day it was considered she has Stage IIIB Cervical Cancer. So on the 5th day of her getting the first symptom, it was told she is in advanced stage of the disease. This was the speed.

Now, you must know the symptoms -

You may not experience any cervical cancer symptoms — early cervical cancer generally produces no signs or symptoms. As the cancer progresses, these cervical cancer symptoms and signs may appear:

* Vaginal bleeding after intercourse, between periods or after menopause
* Watery, bloody vaginal discharge that may be heavy and have a foul odor
* Pelvic pain or pain during intercourse

Secondly you should know the staging position -

The International Federation of Gynecologists and Obstetricians (FIGO) system usually is used to stage cervical cancer:

* Stage 0: Carcinoma in situ; non-invasive cancer that is confined to the layer of cells lining the cervix.
* Stage I: Cancer that has spread into the connective tissue of the cervix but is confined to the uterus.
* Stage IA: Very small cancerous area that is visible only with a microscope.
* Stage IA1: Invasion area is less than 3 mm (0.13 in) deep and 7 mm (0.33 in) wide.
* Stage IA2: Invasion area is 3–5 mm (0.13-0.2 in) deep and less than 7 mm (0.33 in) wide.
* Stage IB: Cancer can be seen without a microscope or is deeper than 5 mm (0.2 in) or wider than 7 mm (0.33 in).
* Stage IB1: Cancer is no larger than 4 cm (1.6 in).
* Stage IB2: Stage IB cancer is larger than 4 cm (1.6 in).
* Stage II: Cancer has spread from the cervix but is confined to the pelvic region.
* Stage IIA: Cancer has spread to the upper region of the vagina, but not to the lower one-third of the vagina.
* Stage IIB: Cancer has spread to the parametrial tissue adjacent to the cervix.
* Stage III: Cancer has spread to the lower one-third of the vagina or to the wall of the pelvis and may be blocking the ureters.
* Stage IIIA: Cancer has spread to the lower vagina but not to the pelvic wall.
* Stage IIIB: Cancer has spread to the pelvic wall and/or is blocking the flow of urine through the ureters to the bladder.
* Stage IV: Cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
* Stage IVA: Cancer has spread to the bladder or rectum.
* Stage IVB: Cancer has spread to distant organs such as the lungs.

Finally the treatments -
Surgery, Chemotherapy and Radiation therapy

That is all -

I can tell you that it seldom causes symptoms until it invades surrounding tissue. After invasion, the commonest symptoms are pelvic pain, & bleeding between periods & after sex. Sometimes the first symptoms come from organs that have been invaded, symptoms such as bleeding or other problems in the bladder or bowel. After it becomes invasive, cervical cancer is difficult to treat & attempts are not always successful. Hysterectomy is always advised, as well as the removal of as much as possible of any cancerous tissue beyond the uterus. Radiotherapy may follow surgery to destroy any cancer that has spread to parts unable to be removed
It can take up to 30 years for the earliest non-cancerous cell changes to progress to cervical cancer.

It really just depends on the person and the type of cervical cancer. (Squamous cell, adenocarcinoma, etc).

I never had an abnormal pap until about 7 weeks ago. The result was not just abnormal but actually said squamous cell carcinoma. My cancer is stage II. It usually does not but CAN progress very quickly. I am HPV negative...

I had cervical cancer and it can progress quickly, don't play around. It is very cure-able but you have to get it early. I had a complete hysterectomy at 32 because of it.

sure, unquestionably. Treating the contaminated cells would not do away with the virus, only like blowing your nostril once you have a chilly would not get the chilly virus out of your physique. HPV has a existence span of 9 months to 2 years, so if it is been 2 years or much less because of the fact he left her, you've HPV. only verify which you do not sleep as much as now on your paps so as which you will capture any ordinary cervical cells quicker somewhat than later. and don't worry too plenty; only because of the fact the virus reacted and brought about ordinary cells for her does not advise it is going to for you.

some cancers develope faster than others, i had cervical cancer and in 6 weeks time it progressed to my uterus.i had to have a historectomy to stop it.but some are not that fortunate and do pass away . this is nothing to play with, or wait around to go see the dr about.it's life threatening and needs to be taken care of right away.

My first findings of dysplasia were in 1990, today, 2016, it has progressed to stage 3A. Practically not even noticeable, get your routine paps ladies, I did not.
