Are There Any Side Effects Of Radiation And Chemotherapy?
Hello, I was recently diagnosed with adenocarcinoma cervical cancer stage 1b2, had a radical hysterectomy, margins and lymph nodes are clear. oncologist is referring to the radiologist, I've researched and seems that radiation and chemo is recommended for this type even if margins are clear. I'm worried about the side effects and chances of other cancers due to treatment. i'm thinking of refusing the treatment - the chances of recurrence is low for me. Why would treatment benefit me. Thanks for your time.
Greetings. If you have undergone radical hysterectomy with negative margins and nodes and the stage is 1b2, you need not require any further therapy. This is sufficient in your case and the risk of recurrence is very low. regards
