Cervical Cancer and Pregnancy
One of my friends just learned she has stage 2 cervical cancer, and she is 4 months pregnant with her second child. Wondering if anyone else has had this experience. We are trying to prepare her with lots of good information when she sees her doctor next week to discuss options, whatever they may be...

Hi M. F- Congratulations on your pregnancy. I was diagnosed with Leukemia (CML) which is very treatable with medication.
Since she is in Stage 2 cervical cancer- it may be treatable with medication with possible early radiation. Since she is pregnant- there are some options she may have to consider.
She needs her hemotologist and ob/gyn to collaborate and come up with a solutions/options.
Best of luck and God speed.

A good place to connect is on carepages.com. I am a M. of 2 and just finishing chemo for cancer. It has been a great resource and support for me. I will say prayers for your friend. God Bless
