Doctors state it matter of factly. There is no beating around the bush. The doctor has to be honest with a patient so they can set their affairs in order.

Ways To Treat Cervical Cancer?

If you have been given the diagnosis of cervical cancer, there are ways that it can be treated. When cervical cancer is detected in the early stages, there are more options. However, if it is found in the later stages, there are still a few options that the doctor has to either get rid of the cancer or slow the growth of it. Most of the time, surgery is the only way that cervical cancer can be treated. The doctor can do a hysterectomy that will remove the uterus and ovaries. If the cancer has not spread past the cervix, then the doctor can burn the cancer cells or freeze them. You would need to return to the doctor every few weeks so that the doctor can tell if the cancer is gone or if it is still growing. If the cancer is still growing, then surgery would probably be needed to eliminate it. When cervical cancer is detected, you can take radiation treatments to stop the growth of the cells. Chemotherapy also works to rid the body of cancer cells. Chemotherapy has more side effects than radiation does, but both procedures are generally safe. The treatments are usually done at a hospital in the X-ray department. You would go up to five days a week for about five or six weeks. The doctor will examine you after treatment to see if the therapy worked. A pill can be placed in the cervix that will kill the cancer cells. It contains radiation and is left for up to three days. You will need to remain in the hospital while the pill is implanted. A new form of treatment is biological in nature. The doctor can give you vitamins and other items that will boost your immune system. As your immune system gets stronger, it will attack the cancer cells. This method of treatment is ideal if the doctor has discovered the cancer in its early stages.

It depends on the type and stage of the cancer, since what works for one might not be an option for another kind. Treatments can range from medications to radiation to chemotherapy, and it's best left to a discussion between your doctor and yourself to see which one you are most comfortable with.
