Question 1

would cervical cancer cause symptoms or an abnormal pap before it spread to lymph nodes?

Accepted Answer

No: One of the problems with cervical cancer treatment is that many people do not have symptoms until it has already spread.  That is why we do  Pap smears-to catch it before symptoms

Question 2

enlarged lymph nodes can be a one of the symptoms of hpv or cervical cancer?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: This would depend on how advanced the tumor is.  If it is a small minimally invasive tumor it is unlikely that enlarged lymph nodes have tumor deposits within them.  

Most of the time lymph nodes are enlarged because they are simply reacting to an infection or other process and not because one has cancer.

Question 3

is my cervical cancer terminal if it has only metastasized to the para aortic lymph nodes?

Accepted Answer

Oncologist: When it comes to cancer, many details can play a significant role. It is best to discuss this situation with a specialist for female genital cancers, gynecologic oncologist.

Question 4

is inguinal lymph node swelling a sign of cervical cancer? 
not other symptoms and pap last year was negative

Accepted Answer

Not usually: There are many reasons for inguinal node enlargement and cervical cancer is low on this list. If you are healthy otherwise. give it a couple more weeks to see how they progress.  If you have lower abdominal or genital problems, you will need to see your doctor.

Question 5

had total hyst 10/11 stage 2 cervical cancer found. pelvic lymph nds remved 12/11; clear since.dont feel well yet.tired/ache/pain. lymphedema mild too?

Accepted Answer

S/P Cervical CA Surg: Being that you are newly 18 months out from your surgery, the fatigue and pain is worrisome. Lymph edema may persist for many months or never completely go away. What was the status of the lymph nodes? All negative for cancer? I would follow up with your gynecologist and tratment team - you shouldn't be this tired and achy this far out.

Question 6

mammogram results-intramammographic benign lymph nodes.  huge family history of breast, ovarian, and cervical cancer.  should i be worried and pursue this?

Accepted Answer

No: This is a common incidental finding on mammograms.  Some radiologists don't even mention them in their reports.  Unless the lymph node looks abnormal, there is no further work up needed.

Question 7
