Recurrance
Hello,
My mother-in-law has recurrance ,afterwards ahe had 25 courses of radiotherapy and 3 chemotherapy(stage 3a). The MRI in April this year was clear,but we went to the gynecologist(he is the most famous doctor in our country ,doing surgeries and speciallized in oncology ),as she had bleeding once. Then he made biopsy of cervix,which was suspicious and it came with result poorly differential squamous cell carcinoma. The first time it was mid,not poorly. He sent her for brachytherapy. In two weeks she bleeded once again and we came back to the gynecologist. This time he has described in the list that there are papilloma-likely changes in the back side of the vagina and told us that if they come back with bad results,he proposes removing of vagina + hysterectomy. If the changes are just because of the brachytherapy, the surgery won't be so radical.
She is scared. I wake up with this in my mind every day, as she trusts me and looks like it's up to me what's going to happen.
I don't know what to tell her, if they will suceeed to remove this completely, if not what?
She said:"If I agree for surgery won't get out alive from the hospital". The fact she has lost hope is really sad. I'm nervous,most of the time I try to hide it,but it's heavy for me,as only three years ago I lost my father due to cancer. Why again and why this stupid cancer. There have been passed decades without chance of 100% cure. Somebody has the chance. The problem is not that I'm worried if the things become complicated I will take care of her, the problem is that I really hope to save her,but I feel helpless ....
Please give some advices, thanks
