What Is The Life Expectancy For A Patient With Cervical Cancer,lesions On Liver?

My mother in law is 65 and has stage 4B cervical cancer. She was given 2-3 years max by her doctor. She has had chemo and radiation and is having more chemo. She has neuropathy in her feet and a little in her hands. There are lessions on her liver and a few spots on her lung. What would your life expectancy be for her?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Unfortunately the cervix cancer your mother in law is having is in stage 4 disease because it has spread to liver. In this condition surgery cannot be done. The only methods of treatment available are chemotherapy and radiation therapy. These will help control the disease and delay progress.

Survival in stage 4 cancer is 2 years with chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Without treatment the patient might survive only for 6 months. Therefore it is important to provider her good nutrition and supportive care. Any pain needs to be treated with pain relief medicines. Please prevent infections in urinary bladder from happening due to cervix cancer. Supportive care is important for her. Please do not worry.
