A member asked:
Am i considered a survivor if i had cervical cancer but i had a hysterectomy to remove it 7 months ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes!: The answer is "yes" assuming a few other details. (1) If your cancer was limited to the cervix and had not spread outside the uterus or to lymph nodes, and (2) the hysterectomy was done right away after diagnosis and was the initial treatment, then your chances of cure are very high and I would call you a SURVIVOR! Good luck!
