Is Chemo Suggested For Cervical Cancer?
My friend was just diagnosed with stage 4b cervical cancer . The tumor is the size of a volleyball and as spread to her bladder and lungs . Her dr. Says it Has Chance of responding to chemotherapy enough to remove the tumor. Is a fair prognosis realistic ?

Hi and welcome ot HCM. Thanks for the query. Unfortunately I think this is too optimistic and this is not soemthing that should be expected. she should be lucky if chemo prolongs her life for some time but chemot cant shrink such tunors size and such spread malignant disease. Wish you good health. Regards
