Dear Dr.I was diagnosed Clear cell adenosquamous carcinoma of Cervix stage IBI on November, 2009. The preventive treatment was radicalhysteroctomy and chemoradiation, after which I should had been cured. In November, 2010, recurrence metastasis was found in the paraortic retroperitoneum (node of 8.5 x 4.5 cm.) and several other little tumors in the pelvis and belly. This was treated by Taxol + Cisplatin chemotheapy. In the first CT after 3 treatment, a detention of the illness was observed and the treatment, continued, but after other three treatments we see that the treatment is ineffective: the tumors have grown and theres an additional metastasis in the thyroid gland. How would you continue the treatment? Thank you in advanced. Marilyz
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have cervical cancer and treatment by radical surgery followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy.  Now you have multiple metastatic lesion.  So it becomes stage 4 disease now. Surgery will not helpful now.  Only treatment options available is chemotherapy. It is not effective. So you can change the chemotherapy.  But any treatment will not cure the disease.  Prognosis remains poor despite all treatment. Life expectancy is not good.  And chemotherapy had its own side effects. So no treatment should be given according to my opinion.  Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
