Question by Valerie H: How is cervical cancer diagnosed and treated today and in the 90s?
Recently, someone in my family said they had cervical cancer and was diagnosed 10 years ago. In the beginning, they said that the doctor performed a pap smear, and from this, diagnosed her with cervical cancer. He gave her 10 to 15 years to live and told her, “Live your life!”. Apparently, in the 90′s, their was no cure or even treatment for this form of cancer.

However, after researching cervical cancer, I discovered that cervical cancer was typiclly caused by HPV, that a bioapsy must be performed in order to even diagnose this form of cancer, there are treatments, it’s curable, and doctors typically give people 5-years to live upon diagnosis.

I presented these facts to the person making this claim and was told that in the 90s there was no cure for this cancer…the terms she used to describe her diagnosis wasn’t medical at all.

What are the symptoms of cervical cancer? Ways it is diagnosed and treated? Was it treatable in the 90s? How can someone survive for 10-years?
