What did your gyn sa: Say , did you ask the doc who diagnosed the cancer if it is indeed cancer, you can have cervical cancer in situ meaning it is cancer that has not spread and have not symptoms until it starts to invade the underlying tissues that is why as a gyn i try to make sure my pts have annual paps or more often if the pap shows cervical pre- cancer or txment if the pre-cancer is moderate or severe.

Yea, if early: Cervical cancer is most commonly detected on routine screening pap smear or pelvic exam. If a patient does not see a doctor routinely and does not get pap smears then cervical cancer may become advanced and start to cause symptoms. In such a case once it has become locally advanced patients can experience pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, malodorous discharge, and even rectal pain or blood.
