Cervical cancer??!

Cervical cancer??

My mom may or may not have cervical cancer. She got her pap smear results back today. The nurse who called said it was abnormal, and in 6 months she needs to go back in and get another pap smear done.

If it is pre-cancerous, and they remove it, how long would she live for? I was reading up on it and it said only a 100% chance for only 5 years. Does that mean on the 6 or 7th year it would come back and kill her? If it IS cancer, they caught it early, so she would have a high chance of survival, right? Sorry, i am only 15 and dont understand all that doctor talk. Haha.

So only serious answers please.

It depends on what was on the pap. Sometimes, it can be just that the cells/skin of the cervix was inflamed. ( Cervicitis) The good news is, they only need her back in 6 months, so obviously, NOT a big deal. They will probably give her some sort of cream to use and then return.
So the good news is, pre-cancerous is NOT cancer...it only means that the cells of the cervix have changed their shape over time, (Cervical dysplasia) due to inflamation, leaving them open to the POSSIBILITY of becoming cancerous.
The good news is, they are NOT suggesting an immediate biopsy. They are not suggesting anything but to wait and see.
The good news is they see that it is not an emergency.
Good luck, and don't worry. In 6 months they will know more.
And if it IS a pre cancerous condition, all the do is remove a little sliver of the cervix, ( kind of like when you get a sunburn on your nose and it peels) to reveal the new pink baby brand new skin.
