This report responds to a recommendation of the 2006 ARL Task Force on the Future of Preservation in ARL Libraries. The task force encouraged ARL to conduct a high-level investigation of the range and balance of preservation activities represented among the ARL membership. The report is a thoughtful and thorough qualitative examination of how research libraries' preservation activities are evolving and expanding in the 21st century. It not only consideres activities traditionally captured by ARL's Preservation Statistics, but also a host of emerging activities largely, but not exclusively, centered on developing digital collections and involving collaborative efforts.
Lars Meyer reports on his project, which used qualitative interviews, expert meetings, a literature review, and a review of preservation statistics to describe contemporary preservation activities in libraries.

[lynda.com] [You can learn it.] [the following is an excerpt from the training tutorial at lynda.com] [Dreamweaver CC Essential Training with James Williamson] Although it often seems as though you have to pick between working either in Design view or editing code in Code view, Dreamweaver actually has a fantastic little feature that makes it possible for you to do both at the same time. So, I want to take a look at using what might actually be my favorite feature in Dreamweaver, and that would be the Quick Tag Editor. So here I'm working on the index file, this time from the 04_05 directory. And there are a few things going on here that I want to change. For example, right here I have this link, About. And you'll notice it's gray. And it's gray because it has the class current applied to it. How do I know that? Well, if I go down here to the tag selector, again down here at the very bottom of the document window, I see a.current. Now, if you've never seen this before, when you see a period like the element a.current, the dot represents a class. If you see a pound symbol—or octothorpe, if you really want to get technical about it— if it was like a#current, that would be an ID. So, it's a nice visual representation of that for you. Okay, so let's say I click on this, all right? Just to select that. Let's say I want to get rid of that class. Well, I could certainly use the Properties Inspector to do that. But there are a lot of times when I might want to edit multiple attributes. Maybe I want to edit a title at the same time, or even add another attribute that's not found on the Properties Inspector. That's where the Quick Tag Editor comes in. So to access the Quick Tag Editor on a PC or on a Windows machine, you're going to do Ctrl+T. And on the Mac, you're going to do Cmd+T. Now as soon as you do that, near the element that you have selected, you're going to see this Quick Tag Editor come up. What is so cool about this is it's kind of like a little tiny code window, and it gives you access to the code and allows you to do whatever you want. So for example, I can come in here and I can highlight that class equals current, and I can just go ahead and get rid of that. If I wanted to capitalize the word "about" in the title, I could do that. And when I'm done editing this tag, editing all the attributes, or adding attributes, taking attributes away, resolving the length, whatever I want to do, all I have to do is hit Return or Enter. It's going to close that out. It's going to make the change for me. So, it's very fast and very simple. Now editing existing tags is really only one feature of the Quick Tag Editor. Let's say I've got this word "innovation" right here. And "innovation" needs to have a class applied to it as well. Well, you can't apply a class to just a word inside of HTML. You have to surround it with a tag. In this case, I'm going to have to surround it with a span tag. Now, I could use the Properties Inspector to do that. But a very fast and easy way to do it would also be to use the Quick Tag Editor. So if I highlight the word "innovation" and then use my keyboard shortcut, which is again either Cmd+T or Ctrl+T, you'll notice that now, instead of editing an existing tag, it's saying oh, okay, you want to surround this with a tag; what would you like to do? Well, I'm going to type in S and then a P, you'll notice that I get code hinting here the same way I do in Code View. So, it is a very fast way of working once you get used to doing it. So if I hit Return or Enter, it is going to finish span, and I'm going to hit Space and type in a C. Now as soon as I do that, it says, oh, you want to add an attribute to this. Okay, what attribute do you want? Because I typed in C, class is the first one that comes up. And I can hit Return and I get all my code hinting. Now here's what's really cool about this. It's now going to go into my CSS and it's going to take a look at all the class definitions I have in there. And it's going to make them available to me here in the Quick Tag Editor. If I type in O, for example, it jumps right down to orange, and I can hit Return, hit Return again, and it goes ahead and applies that. Now, I know if you were doing that along with me and you'd never done it before, you're probably looking at that, okay, that was kind of cool, But wouldn't it have been just as easy for me to go down to the Properties Inspector, grab that class pulldown menu, and choose orange? Now, sure, it would have. But you've got to remember, too, I was doing that really slow. Once you get used to doing it—let me show you. So, I'm going to undo that. Once you get used to doing this, look how quick this can be. I can highlight this, do my Cmd+T, type in span class orange, boom, done. And what's really handy about that— and I know that time I really blazed through it— but it is just something that I'm used to doing. The more you work with the Quick Tag Editor, the faster you'll get. But what I really like about it is that it exposes the code to you. So, you can be in Design view and still work on code at exactly the same time, even without going into Split view. So, that's really kind of neat. The other thing is the Properties Inspector will sometimes do a lot of this stuff for you, but there are going to be times when you need to edit code in a way that the Properties Inspector can't do. And in that case, if you're working in Design view, rather than having to switch over to Code view, you can quickly highlight an element or place your cursor in the right place, hit Cmd or Ctrl+T, and you're editing the code without ever leaving this view. Now I will say, if you've never used it before, it's going to take a little getting used to. But once you're comfortable using it, the Quick Tag Editor dramatically speeds up the process of working on your sites.

Old Lace
Since I needed to wash and starch this it before it could go on my table I thought I'd share a couple thoughts on the care of old lace.
Old lace must be handled with the greatest of care because it is fragile in nature. Age weakens the threads so even the gentlest agitating while washing can cause a break and I don't even want to think of the damage that can be done by harsh detergents and bleach. No machine washing. The way I clean them is to use warm, soapy (homemade laundry soap but Dawn dishwashing liquid is also very good for this purpose) water in a wide-mouth canning jar.
Tuck the lace inside the jar and simply turn it around and shake it. Rinse using the same method and clear water.
Do not wring or squeeze the wet lace as you can really stress the threads.
Instead lay flat on a towel and roll it up. Gently squeeze the roll. Unroll and allow to dry flat. When almost dry press with a warm iron remembering to put a piece of muslin between the iron and the lace.
Some crocheted pieces really need starching or stiffening so the items will hold shape. There are many recipes for "stiffeners" including some using glue, sugar, flour and shellac. Avoid those. I use old-fashioned laundry starch. Although I have heard of people using spray starch, I don't see how you can get the same penetration of starch in the threads. You can buy laundry starch in both powdered or liquid form although I have to say that the powdered starch is getting harder to find. Too bad because it really is the best product. Some day I need to do a post on all the wonderful products you used to be able to buy and now cannot. I starch between hard and medium, which gives the doily nice body but doesn't feel like it is too rigid. Using liquid starch, that is a solution of 1/3 starch and 2/3 water. Use the same method as above for wringing out and drying but use rust-proof pins to block your doily into shape.
Stop by again this next week to see what my plan is for these beauties!

Mimi said...:
16 years ago, believe it or not, I fractured my back while simply sorting laundry. I had squatted down and was reaching to the left to grab two towels, and then snap, crack and that's all she wrote. Two compression fractures later, I was in bed for weeks! I had to do something while recuperating, so I crocheted a doily. My daughter has it now, and it is the only one I have ever made. Each little stitch.. How I appreciate what others have done and continue to do. They are BEAUTIFUL! My back is better now, and I love arranging all kinds of things at home and in my office on antique doilies.
Beth said...:
Very pretty lace!Thanks for the lesson on washing it I have some old lace that needs washing!
Sharing Shadymont said...:
So pretty! I've only ever crocheted one doilie and it was far from perfect, but I love it anyway. My oldest sister was great at crocheting using the tiny thread. She made doilies and also angels. I only have a couple of pieces of her work.
Thanks for reminding us of how we should care for these delicate treasures.
Kathleen said...:
Beautiful! I have a crocheted bedspread that is 40 yrs old that dh's aunt made for us. I can't bear to get rid of it, so it sits in a box in the basement!

farmlady said...:
Thank you for this information on washing these old doilies of mine. I love to find different kinds of patterned doilies at thrift stores and when they are dusty or dirty I usually throw them in the washing machine with my delicates. From now on I will be more careful.
Simply Debbie said...:
You had me from the start also...I just love lace and drool over others people lace. Thank you for the tutorial on how to care for our lace. I ALWAYS...WINK...WINK...ROLLING MY EYES...USED spray starch on my doilies but when not in use I wash the starch out. I better get some powder starch before you cannot buy it any more. I really enjoyed this post. Thank You
Have A Sugar Sweet Day

Thank you so much for that information! I have a trunk of crocheted doilies and lace and embroidery that my grandmother made and this is the year that I am going to go through it.
I love your blog and I will be a follower.
Leslie said...:
Love the pink doily. I am an old doily collector also. My grandmother had a fine selection of doilies that she brought from Germany. I just wish that I was old enough to have enjoyed them when my mother sold all of them years and years ago. I would have snatched up all of them!

Yvonne @ StoneGable said...:
Gail, Just the post I needed! I am starching some old linens and want that stiff as a board look. Spray starch just doesn't do the trick. Now I know why!
I think these doilies are so pretty!
I LOVE the idea of using a large mouth canning jar to wash small delicate items without hurting them.
Have a blessed day, friend!
Sherrie said...:
Thank you for your post today. You don't know how timely it was. I just got a huge box of linens that needed some attention. I have been putting it off because I wanted to do the right job. I just copied your notes and am now off to the store to find some liquid starch. Yes I usually use spray starch on my other things so I will be trying something new. Thank you for the education. This is why I love blogging.
shannon i olson said...:
Thanks Gail, I always am picking up these myself. My aunt just sent me some of my grandmothers linens and doilies so perfect timing!
Char said...:
I love the way to care and clean your vintage linens and I so appreicate the advise. It all makes sense and the jar is a wonderful idea. Happy Pink Saturday, Char

Heather's Blog-o-rama said...:
Oh Gail, I was just "oohing and ahing" over everything. Thanks for the tips on how to care for old lace ;) :) Those doilies look lovely. My favorite doily that I purchased at a yard sale cost me $1. It was a creamy color...and it was also rectangular with rounded edges. Its' old and very unusual...therefore extra beautiful :) :) Starch..I've never used that on my clothes..but I do remember that very well, when I was in dance school Whenever we had a show, all the mom's had to spray starch the costumes!!! Have ae great week, Gail!! Thanks for sharing this!! I LOVE doilies! Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)
Tammy@beatrice banks said...:

Thank you so much for stopping by to say hello.
Happy Pink Saturday!
Diann said...:
Hi Gail!
That pink doily is beautiful! I can't pass them up when I am thrifting either. Whch probably explains my over abundence of them. LOL I clean mine the same way. I feel like it is the least I can do for these little treasures that someone spent hours and hours making!
laurie @ bargain hunting said...:
Gail, I so agree! When I see beautiful hand work like this sold for almost nothing, I always think of the time and talent that went into making something like that. Yours looks so pretty, all cleaned and starched. Thanks so much for the tips on taking care of these treasures, and thank you for linking to Favorite Things. laurie
Shelia said...:
Hi Gail! OH, what a beautiful doily. I too crochet and know there's lots of work in these. My granny crocheted and she used the colored thread like this. I have a few of her doilies!
Thanks for popping in to see me today.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Denise said...:

Picket said...:
Morning girl..I love doilies..as a little girl I would love visiting one of our neighbors...as precious elderly lady named Mrs headley...she had them everywhere and she made them all...oh I loved her so! These are fantastic tips...I remember seeing some so starched and stiff and in pretty forms...you could have used them for a frizby and not made a dent in them! lol
Thanks so much for coming by and congrats on those 60 lbs...that's like 240 sticks of butter!!!! Oh I dream of the day! lol Take care sweetie and have a great week..Picket
Marlis said...:
You had me at the word lace. What you say is so true, old lace is a fragile and needs serious tlc, but the rewards are so nice. Your pieces are beautiful.
Bonnie Bee said...:
Oh Gail- I have a bag FULL of these doilies, every shape, color & size mad by my grandmother! Now I finally know how to properly care for these 60+ year old beauties.My grandma was a genius with a crochet needle...

Your doily is just beautiful. I am glad to know how to clean them. I used to have a lot of doilies..my mother crocheted all the time. I have given most away to family and friends but still have a few. :)
Lady Katherine said...:
I do so love your doily's! I have some and yes, I have found by experience they are fragile! I leave mine to soak in a jar, never thought of shaking it. lol Now if you can tell me where to find the old powdered starch, for I haven't been able to find it! I do love your Teapot! Thank you for joining me for Tea Time
Linda said...:
I just found you by search for "How To Starch an Old Doily." I have just acquired many old doilies that were either made by my mother-in-law or her mother. They are beautiful. One item looks as though it should be a basket. I am going to attempt to starch it as a Valentine treasure. God Bless, Linda

Heat up great meals for the whole family on griddles and grills
Cook up classic meals for everyone with griddles and grills. You can fry up eggs and bacon for breakfast on an electric griddle. Try to make burgers that taste like they came right off of the outdoor grill, or put together great toasted sandwiches using a panini press. With non-stick surfaces, these appliances are easy to cook on and clean. Find a convenient griddle or grill and enjoy great meals with your family at Sears.
Electric griddles and skillets are one of the most convenient ways to feed your whole family. With their large surface, you'll be able to cook up a complete breakfast with pancakes, eggs and bacon for everyone in your family. You won't have to cook smaller portions separately or wait for a large pan to heat. The griddle gives you an even temperature across a large non-stick surface, and it wipes clean in minutes when you're done cooking. It's also great for more than just breakfast. There's plenty of room for you to cook up a full dinner and sides, like fish or chicken with vegetables.
If you're an outdoor grilling enthusiast but don't want to wait for ideal temperatures to enjoy all your favorites, consider an electric grill. These appliances are available in a variety of sizes to suit smaller apartments or hold enough for a large family gathering. Most models are angled to drain excess grease into a drip tray, making this an even healthier grilling method for burgers and poultry than the outdoor charcoal grill without losing any flavor. With grilling plates on the top and bottom, your food will be heated to perfection quickly. These plates can be removed for easy washing, and in some models, even swapped out with other optional parts for different kinds of cooking.
Make delicious lunches and dinners with a specialized panini press. These appliances are similar to electric grills, but with extra room between the upper and lower plates for sandwiches piled high with ingredients. Make enjoyable lunches and dinners with creative sandwich recipes grilled to perfection on these appliances. You can even try using your own homemade breadmaker to build sandwiches. You can also heat flatbreads and thin quesadillas just as effectively, and or make some of the same great grilled vegetables, kebabs, and other dishes that are possible on a typical electric grill. Nonstick plates mean you won't have to interrupt a fun and relaxing dinner for extensive cleaning.
Griddles, grills, and panini presses help you make every meal from breakfast to dinner fun and unique. Shop for the best appliance for your home at Sears.

"We afford the opportunity, as long as [students] are willing to come to it, for help sessions for the graduation test … in addition, we have the opportunity for others to take courses online if they're short on credit, and so we encourage those students to continue.
"Each year we have students who have completed that and our board wants them to come and be recognized."
Both students will receive their diploma during the business session.
In other school news, the board recognized the CHS football team for its success at this summer's Southeastern 7-on-7 Championship in Dalton, at the Cam Newton 7-on-7 tournament and at the 7-on-7 competition in Bradenton, Fla.
"These students make high grades and have high character," coach Frank Barden said.
Items for approval on Monday's agenda include a contract with Lockstep Technology Group to keep the company on retainer for troubleshooting the technological infrastructure of the schools in the city. The contract is to not exceed $50,000 in the next year and the funds have previously been approved in the city's budget.
"When we have breakdowns in the infrastructure, which we do quite often, [Lockstep Technology Group] will come help us out with it," Hinesley said. "They'll be guiding us through the bid process and what we need to have more wireless capabilities as we move forward."
Assistant Superintendent Ken Clouse added, "We've been using [Lockstep Technology Group] on a case-by-case basis, really, for several years and they've donated a lot of services to us already."
Board member and Building and Grounds Committee Chairman Ken Topham reported Cartersville Primary School is in the process of acquiring a new playground.
"[The school needs] to cut down on the walking time and spend more time in the classroom and out on the playground, so [Principal Walter Gordon] has put forth the idea to put a playground for first grade in between the building and the sidewalk," Topham said.
Hinesley added the site has been approved by the city fire marshal and is awaiting approval by the state fire marshal.
The board will hold its regular business session Monday at 6 p.m. in the central office boardroom.

About This Booklet
This National Cancer Institute (NCI) booklet is for you—a woman who has just been diagnosed with cervical cancer. The disease begins on the surface of the cervix. If not treated, the cancer invades more deeply into the cervix. This is called invasive cervical cancer.
In 2013, more than 12,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer. Most will be younger than 55.
Learning about medical care for invasive cervical cancer can help you take an active part in making choices about your care. This booklet tells about…
- Diagnosis and staging
- Treatment and follow-up care
- Taking part in research studies
You can read this booklet from front to back. Or you can read only the sections you need right now.
This booklet has lists of questions that you may want to ask your doctor. Many people find it helpful to take a list of questions to a doctor visit. To help remember what your doctor says, you can take notes. You may also want to have a family member or friend go with you when you talk with the doctor—to take notes, ask questions, or just listen.
This booklet is only about invasive cervical cancer. It's not about abnormal cells found only on the surface of the cervix or about other cervical cell changes. These changes are treated differently from invasive cervical cancer.
Women with abnormal cells only on the surface of the cervix may want to read the NCI booklet Understanding Cervical Changes: A Health Guide for Women instead. It tells about abnormal cells and describes the treatment options.
The Cervix
The cervix is part of a woman's reproductive system. It's in the pelvis. The cervix is the lower, narrow part of the uterus (womb).
The cervix is a passageway:
- The cervix connects the uterus to the vagina. During a menstrual period, blood flows from the uterus through the cervix into the vagina. The vagina leads to the outside of the body.
- The cervix makes mucus. During sex, mucus helps sperm move from the vagina through the cervix into the uterus.
- During pregnancy, the cervix is tightly closed to help keep the baby inside the uterus. During childbirth, the cervix opens to allow the baby to pass through the vagina.

This picture shows the cervix and nearby organs.
Cancer Cells
Cancer begins in cells, the building blocks that make up tissues. Tissues make up the cervix and other organs of the body.
Normal cervical cells grow and divide to form new cells as the body needs them. When normal cells grow old or get damaged, they die, and new cells take their place.
Sometimes, this process goes wrong. New cells form when the body does not need them, and old or damaged cells do not die as they should. The buildup of extra cells often forms a mass of tissue called a growth or tumor.
Growths on the cervix can be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer):
- Benign growths (polyps, cysts, or genital warts):
- are not harmful
- don't invade the tissues around them
- Malignant growths (cervical cancer):
- may sometimes be a threat to life
- can invade nearby tissues and organs
- can spread to other parts of the body
Cervical cancer begins in cells on the surface of the cervix. Over time, the cervical cancer can invade more deeply into the cervix and nearby tissues.
Cervical cancer cells can spread by breaking away from the cervical tumor. They can travel through lymph vessels to nearby lymph nodes. Also, cancer cells can spread through the blood vessels to the lungs, liver, or bones.
After spreading, cancer cells may attach to other tissues and grow to form new tumors that may damage those tissues. See the Staging section for information about cervical cancer that has spread.
Risk Factors
When you get a diagnosis of cervical cancer, it's natural to wonder what may have caused the disease. Doctors usually can't explain why one woman develops cervical cancer and another doesn't.
However, we do know that a woman with certain risk factors may be more likely than other women to develop cervical cancer. A risk factor is something that may increase the chance of developing a disease.
Studies have found that infection with the virus called HPV is the cause of almost all cervical cancers. Most adults have been infected with HPV at some time in their lives, but most infections clear up on their own. An HPV infection that doesn't go away can cause cervical cancer in some women. The NCI fact sheet HPV and Cancer has more information.
Other risk factors, such as smoking, can act to increase the risk of cervical cancer among women infected with HPV even more. The NCI booklet Understanding Cervical Changes describes other risk factors for cervical cancer.
A woman's risk of cervical cancer can be reduced by getting regular cervical cancer screening tests. If abnormal cervical cell changes are found early, cancer can be prevented by removing or killing the changed cells before they become cancer cells.
Another way a woman can reduce her risk of cervical cancer is by getting an HPV vaccine before becoming sexually active (between the ages of 9 and 26). Even women who get an HPV vaccine need regular cervical cancer screening tests.
Early cervical cancers usually don't cause symptoms. When the cancer grows larger, women may notice abnormal vaginal bleeding:
- Bleeding that occurs between regular menstrual periods
- Bleeding after sexual intercourse, douching, or a pelvic exam
- Menstrual periods that last longer and are heavier than before
- Bleeding after going through menopause
Women may also notice…
- Increased vaginal discharge
- Pelvic pain
- Pain during sex
Cervical cancer, infections, or other health problems may cause these symptoms. A woman with any of these symptoms should tell her doctor so that problems can be diagnosed and treated as early as possible.
If you have symptoms of cervical cancer, your doctor will try to find out what's causing the problems. You may have the following tests:
- Lab tests: The doctor or nurse scrapes a sample of cells from the cervix. For a Pap test, the lab checks the sample for cervical cancer cells or abnormal cells that could become cancer later if not treated. For an HPV test, the same sample is tested for HPV infection. HPV can cause cell changes and cervical cancer.
- Cervical exam: The doctor uses a colposcope to look at the cervix. The colposcope combines a bright light with a magnifying lens to make tissue easier to see. This exam is usually done in the doctor's office or clinic.
- Tissue sample: The removal of tissue to look for cancer cells is a biopsy. Most women have cervical tissue removed in the doctor's office, and usually only local anesthesia is needed.
The doctor will remove tissue in one of the following ways:
- Punch biopsy: The doctor uses a sharp tool to pinch off small samples of cervical tissue.
- LEEP: The doctor uses an electric wire loop to slice off a thin, round piece of cervical tissue.
- Endocervical curettage: The doctor uses a curette (a small, spoon-shaped instrument) to scrape a small sample of tissue from the cervical canal. Some doctors may use a thin, soft brush instead of a curette.
- Cone biopsy: The doctor removes a cone-shaped sample of tissue. A cone biopsy lets the pathologist look at the tissue beneath the surface of the cervix to learn whether it has abnormal cells. The doctor may do this test in the hospital under general anesthesia.
A pathologist checks the tissue under a microscope for cancer cells. In most cases, a biopsy is the only sure way to tell whether cancer is present.
Removing tissue from the cervix may cause some bleeding or other discharge. The area usually heals quickly. Some women also feel some pain similar to menstrual cramps. Your doctor can suggest medicine that will help relieve any pain.
For more information about tests, cell changes, and treatment for these changes, you may want to read the NCI booklet Understanding Cervical Changes.
You may want to ask the doctor these questions before having a biopsy:
- Which biopsy method do you recommend?
- How will tissue be removed?
- Will I have to go to the hospital?
- How long will it take? Will I be awake? Will it hurt?
- Are there any risks? What are the chances of infection or bleeding after the test?
- For how many days afterward should I avoid using tampons, douching, or having sex?
- Can the test affect my ability to get pregnant and have children?
- How soon will I know the results? Who will explain them to me?
- If I do have cancer, who will talk to me about the next steps? When?
If the biopsy shows that you have cancer, your doctor will need to learn the extent (stage) of the disease to help you choose the best treatment. The stage is based on whether the cancer has invaded nearby tissues or spread to other parts of the body. Cervical cancer spreads most often to nearby tissues in the pelvis or to lymph nodes. It may also spread to the lungs, liver, or bones.
When cancer spreads from its original place to another part of the body, the new tumor has the same kind of cancer cells and the same name as the original tumor. For example, if cervical cancer spreads to the lungs, the cancer cells in the lungs are actually cervical cancer cells. The disease is metastatic cervical cancer, not lung cancer. It's treated as cervical cancer, not as lung cancer. Doctors sometimes call the new tumor in the lung "distant" disease.
Your doctor will do a pelvic exam, will feel for swollen lymph nodes, and may remove additional tissue. To learn the extent of disease, your doctor may order one or more tests:
- Chest x-ray: An x-ray of the chest can often show whether cancer has spread to the lungs.
- CT scan: An x-ray machine linked to a computer takes a series of detailed pictures of your pelvis, abdomen, or chest. Before a CT scan, you may receive contrast material by injection in your arm or hand, by mouth, or by enema. The contrast material makes abnormal areas easier to see. A tumor in the liver, lungs, or elsewhere in the body can show up on the CT scan.
- MRI: A powerful magnet linked to a computer makes detailed pictures of your pelvis and abdomen. Before MRI, you may receive an injection of contrast material. MRI can show whether cancer has invaded tissues near the cervix or has spread from the cervix to tissues in the pelvis or abdomen.
The stage is based on where cancer is found. These are the stages of invasive cervical cancer:
- Stage I: Cancer cells are found only in the cervix.
- Stage II: The tumor has grown through the cervix and invaded the upper part of the vagina. It may have invaded other nearby tissues but not the pelvic wall (the lining of the part of the body between the hips) or the lower part of the vagina.
- Stage III: The tumor has invaded the pelvic wall or the lower part of the vagina. If the tumor is large enough to block one or both of the tubes through which urine passes from the kidneys, lab tests may show that the kidneys aren't working well.
- Stage IV: The tumor has invaded the bladder or rectum. Or, the cancer has spread to other parts of the body, such as the lungs.
Treatment options for women with cervical cancer are…
- Surgery
- Radiation therapy
- Chemotherapy
- A combination of these methods
The choice of treatment depends mainly on the size of the tumor and whether the cancer has spread. The treatment choice may also depend on whether you would like to become pregnant someday.
Your doctor may refer you to a specialist, or you may ask for a referral. You may want to see a gynecologic oncologist, a doctor who specializes in treating female cancers. Other specialists who treat cervical cancer include gynecologists, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists. Your health care team may also include an oncology nurse and a registered dietitian.
Your health care team can describe your treatment choices, the expected results of each, and the possible side effects. Because cancer treatments often damage healthy cells and tissues, side effects are common. These side effects depend on many factors, including the type of treatment. Side effects may not be the same for each person, and they may even change from one treatment session to the next. Before treatment starts, ask your health care team about possible side effects and how treatment may change your normal activities. You and your health care team can work together to develop a treatment plan that meets your medical and personal needs.
At any stage of the disease, supportive care is available to control pain and other symptoms, to relieve the side effects of treatment, and to ease emotional concerns. You can get information about coping on NCI's website at http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/coping.
Also, you can get information about supportive care from NCI's Cancer Information Service at 1–800–4–CANCER (1–800–422–6237). Or, chat using LiveHelp, NCI's instant messaging service, at https://livehelp.cancer.gov.
You may want to talk with your doctor about taking part in a clinical trial. Clinical trials are research studies testing new treatments. They are an important option for women with all stages of cervical cancer. See the section on Taking Part in Cancer Research.
You may want to ask the doctor these questions before treatment begins:
- What is the stage of my disease? Has the cancer spread? If so, where?
- May I have a copy of the report from the pathologist?
- What are my treatment choices? Which do you recommend for me? Will I have more than one kind of treatment?
- What are the expected benefits of each kind of treatment?
- What are the risks and possible side effects of each treatment? What can we do to control the side effects?
- What can I do to prepare for treatment?
- Will I have to stay in the hospital? If so, for how long?
- What is the treatment likely to cost? Will my insurance cover the cost?
- How will treatment affect my normal activities?
- How may treatment affect my sex life?
- Will I be able to get pregnant and have children after treatment? Should I preserve eggs before treatment starts?
- What can I do to take care of myself during treatment?
- What is my chance of a full recovery?
- How often will I need checkups after treatment?
- Would a research study (clinical trial) be right for me?
Surgery is an option for women with Stage I or II cervical cancer. You and your surgeon can talk about the types of surgery and which may be right for you.
If you have a small tumor, the type of surgery may depend on whether you want to get pregnant and have children later on. Some women with very early cervical cancer may decide with their surgeon to have only the cervix, part of the vagina, and the lymph nodes in the pelvis removed (radical trachelectomy).
Other women may choose to have the cervix and uterus removed (complete hysterectomy). The surgeon may also remove some tissue around the cervix, part of the vagina, the fallopian tubes, or the ovaries. In addition, the surgeon may remove lymph nodes near the tumor.
It's common to feel tired or weak for a while after surgery for cervical cancer. The time it takes to heal is different for each woman. You'll probably be able to leave the hospital within a couple of days. Most women return to their normal activities within 4 to 8 weeks after surgery.
You may have pain or discomfort for the first few days after surgery. Medicine can help control your pain. Before surgery, you should discuss the plan for pain relief with your health care team. After surgery, they can adjust the plan if you need more pain control.
After a trachelectomy, some women need to have a tube put into the bladder to drain urine. It usually can be removed a few days after surgery.
After a hysterectomy, some women become constipated or have nausea and vomiting. In addition, some women lose control of their bladder or have trouble emptying their bladder. These effects are usually temporary.
After a hysterectomy, you'll stop having menstrual periods, and you won't be able to become pregnant.
After the ovaries are removed, menopause occurs at once. You may have hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and night sweats. These symptoms are caused by the sudden loss of female hormones. Talk with your health care team about your symptoms so that you can develop a treatment plan together. There are drugs and lifestyle changes that can help, and most symptoms go away or lessen with time.
Surgery to remove lymph nodes may cause swelling (lymphedema) in one or both legs. Ask your health care team about how you may prevent or control the swelling. Information about lymphedema is available on NCI's website at http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/coping.
For some women, surgery to remove the cervix and nearby tissues can affect sexual intimacy. You may have feelings of loss that make intimacy difficult. Sharing these feelings with your partner may be helpful. Sometimes couples talk with a counselor to help them express their concerns.
You may want to ask the doctor these questions before having surgery:
- Do you recommend surgery for me? If so, which kind? Will my ovaries be removed? Do I need to have lymph nodes removed?
- What is the goal of surgery?
- What are the risks of surgery?
- How will I feel after surgery? If I have pain, how will it be controlled?
- How long will I have to be in the hospital?
- Will I have any lasting side effects?
- When will I be able to resume normal activities?
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells. It's an option for women with any stage of cervical cancer. Women with early cervical cancer may choose radiation therapy instead of surgery. It also may be used after surgery to destroy any cancer cells that remain in the area. Women with cancer that extends beyond the cervix may have radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
Doctors use two types of radiation therapy to treat cervical cancer. Some women receive both types:
- External radiation therapy: A large machine directs radiation at your pelvis or other areas with cancer. The treatment usually is given in a hospital or clinic. You may receive external radiation therapy 5 days a week for several weeks. Each treatment takes only a few minutes.
- Internal radiation therapy (also called brachytherapy): A narrow cylinder is placed inside your vagina, and a radioactive substance is loaded into the cylinder. Usually, a session of internal radiation therapy lasts only a few minutes. The cylinder and substance are removed, and you can go home. The short session may be repeated two or more times over several weeks. When the radioactive substance is removed, no radioactivity is left in your body. With a less common method of internal radiation therapy, you may stay in the hospital for several days during treatment.
Although radiation therapy is painless, it may cause side effects. The side effects depend mainly on how much radiation is given and which part of your body is treated. Radiation to the abdomen and pelvis may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or urinary problems. You may lose hair in your genital area. Also, skin on the abdomen and pelvis may become red, dry, and tender.
You may have dryness, itching, or burning in your vagina. Your doctor may advise you to wait until a few weeks after radiation treatment ends to have sex.
You are likely to become tired during radiation therapy, especially in the later weeks of treatment. Resting is important, but doctors usually advise patients to try to stay as active as they can.
Although the side effects of radiation therapy can be upsetting, they can usually be treated or controlled. Talk with your doctor or nurse about ways to relieve discomfort.
It may also help to know that most side effects go away when treatment ends. However, you may want to discuss with your doctor the possible long-term effects of radiation therapy. For example, radiation therapy may make the vagina narrower. A narrow vagina can make sex or follow-up exams difficult. There are ways to prevent this problem. If it does occur, however, your health care team can tell you about ways to expand the vagina.
Another possible long-term effect is damage to the ovaries. Menstrual periods usually stop, and women may have hot flashes and vaginal dryness. Menstrual periods may return for some women, especially younger women. Women who may want to get pregnant after radiation therapy should ask their health care team about ways to preserve their eggs before treatment starts.
You may find it helpful to read the NCI booklet Radiation Therapy and You.
You may want to ask the doctor these questions before having radiation therapy:
- What is the goal of this treatment?
- How will the radiation be given?
- Will I need to stay in the hospital? If so, for how long?
- When will the treatments begin?
- How often will I have them? When will they end?
- How will I feel during treatment? Are there side effects?
- How will we know if the radiation therapy is working?
- Will I be able to continue my normal activities during treatment?
- How will radiation therapy affect my sex life?
- Are there lasting side effects?
Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells. For the treatment of cervical cancer, chemotherapy is usually combined with radiation therapy. For cancer that has spread to distant organs, chemotherapy may be used alone.
Most drugs for cervical cancer are given directly into a vein (intravenously) through a thin needle. Some drugs can be taken by mouth. Most women receive chemotherapy in a clinic or at the doctor's office. Drugs that are swallowed may be taken at home instead. Some women need to stay in the hospital during treatment.
The side effects depend mainly on which drugs are given and how much. Chemotherapy kills fast-growing cancer cells, but the drugs can also harm normal cells that divide rapidly:
- Blood cells: When chemotherapy lowers the levels of healthy blood cells, you're more likely to get infections, bruise or bleed easily, and feel very weak and tired. Your health care team will check for low levels of blood cells. If the levels are low, your health care team may stop the chemotherapy for a while or reduce the dose of drug. They may also give you medicines that can help your body make new blood cells.
- Cells in hair roots: Chemotherapy may cause hair loss. If you lose your hair, it will grow back, but it may change in color and texture.
- Cells that line the digestive tract: Chemotherapy can cause a poor appetite, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, or mouth and lip sores. Your health care team can give you medicines and suggest other ways to help with these problems.
Other side effects include skin rash, tingling or numbness in your hands and feet, hearing problems, loss of balance, joint pain, or swollen legs and feet. Your health care team can suggest ways to control many of these problems. Most go away when treatment ends.
You may want to read the NCI booklet Chemotherapy and You.
You may want to ask the doctor these questions before having chemotherapy:
- Why do I need this treatment?
- Which drug or drugs will I have?
- How do the drugs work?
- What are the expected benefits of the treatment?
- What are the risks and possible side effects of treatment? What can we do about them?
- When will treatment start? When will it end?
- How will treatment affect my normal activities?
Second Opinion
Before starting treatment, you might want a second opinion about your diagnosis, stage of cancer, and treatment plan. Some people worry that the doctor will be offended if they ask for a second opinion. Usually the opposite is true. Most doctors welcome a second opinion. And many health insurance companies will pay for a second opinion if you or your doctor requests it. Some companies require a second opinion.
If you get a second opinion, the second doctor may agree with your first doctor's diagnosis and treatment plan. Or, the second doctor may suggest another approach. Either way, you have more information and perhaps a greater sense of control. You can feel more confident about the decisions you make, knowing that you've looked at all of your options.
It may take some time and effort to gather your medical records and see another doctor. In most cases, it's not a problem to take several weeks to get a second opinion. The delay in starting treatment usually will not make treatment less effective. To make sure, you should discuss this delay with your doctor.
There are many ways to find a doctor for a second opinion. You can ask your doctor, a local or state medical society, or a nearby hospital or medical school for names of specialists.
Also, you can get information about treatment centers near you from NCI's Cancer Information Service. Call 1–800–4–CANCER (1–800–422–6237). Or, chat using LiveHelp, NCI's instant messaging service, at https://livehelp.cancer.gov.
Other sources can be found in the NCI fact sheet How To Find a Doctor or Treatment Facility If You Have Cancer.
Eating well is important before, during, and after cancer treatment. You need the right amount of calories to maintain a good weight. You also need enough protein to keep up your strength. Eating well may help you feel better and have more energy.
Sometimes, especially during or soon after treatment, you may not feel like eating. You may be uncomfortable or tired. You may find that foods don't taste as good as they used to. In addition, poor appetite, nausea, vomiting, mouth blisters, and other side effects of treatment can make it hard for you to eat.
Your doctor, a registered dietitian, or another health care provider can suggest ways to help you meet your nutrition needs. Also, the NCI booklet Eating Hints has many useful ideas and recipes.
Follow-up Care
You'll need regular checkups (such as every 3 to 6 months) after treatment for cervical cancer. Checkups help ensure that any changes in your health are noted and treated if needed. If you have any health problems between checkups, contact your doctor.
Cervical cancer may come back after treatment. Your doctor will check for the return of cancer. Checkups may include a physical exam, Pap test, and chest x-ray.
You may find it helpful to read the NCI booklet Facing Forward: Life After Cancer Treatment. You may also want to read the NCI fact sheet Follow-up Care After Cancer Treatment.
You may want to ask your doctor these questions after you have finished treatment:
- How often will I need checkups?
- How often will I need a Pap test?
- What other follow-up tests do you suggest for me?
- Between checkups, what health problems or symptoms should I tell you about?
Sources of Support
Learning that you have cervical cancer can change your life and the lives of those close to you. These changes can be hard to handle. It's normal for you, your family, and your friends to need help coping with the feelings that a diagnosis of cancer can bring.
Concerns about treatments and managing side effects, hospital stays, and medical bills are common. You may also worry about caring for your family, keeping your job, or continuing daily activities.
Here's where you can go for support:
- Doctors, nurses, and other members of your health care team can answer questions about treatment, working, or other activities.
- Social workers, counselors, or members of the clergy can be helpful if you want to talk about your feelings or concerns. Often, social workers can suggest resources for financial aid, transportation, home care, or emotional support.
- Support groups also can help. In these groups, patients or their family members meet with other patients or their families to share what they have learned about coping with cancer and the effects of treatment. Groups may offer support in person, over the telephone, or on the Internet. You may want to talk with a member of your health care team about finding a support group.
- NCI's Cancer Information Service can help you locate programs, services, and NCI publications. Call 1–800–4–CANCER (1–800–422–6237). Or, chat using LiveHelp, NCI's instant messaging service, at https://livehelp.cancer.gov.
- Your doctor or a sex counselor may be helpful if you and your partner are concerned about the effects of cervical cancer on your sex life. Ask your doctor about possible treatment of side effects and whether these effects are likely to last. Whatever the outlook, you and your partner may find it helps to discuss your concerns.
For tips on coping, you may want to read the NCI booklet Taking Time: Support for People With Cancer.
Taking Part in Cancer Research
Doctors all over the world are conducting many types of clinical trials (research studies in which people volunteer to take part). Research has already led to advances in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cervical cancer.
Doctors continue to search for new and better ways to treat cervical cancer. They are testing new treatments, including new drugs, combinations, and schedules. Some studies are combining surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
Clinical trials are designed to find out whether new treatments are safe and effective. Even if the women in a trial don't benefit directly, they may still make an important contribution by helping doctors learn more about cervical cancer and how to control it. Although clinical trials may pose some risks, researchers do all they can to protect their patients.
If you're interested in being part of a clinical trial, talk with your doctor. You may want to read the NCI booklet Taking Part in Cancer Treatment Research Studies. It describes how treatment studies are carried out and explains their possible benefits and risks.
NCI's website includes a section on clinical trials at http://www.cancer.gov/clinicaltrials. It has general information about clinical trials as well as detailed information about specific ongoing studies of cervical cancer.
NCI's Cancer Information Service can answer your questions and provide information about clinical trials. Contact CIS at 1–800–4–CANCER (1–800–422–6237) or at LiveHelp at https://livehelp.cancer.gov.

Precision Tool Selection - Not all dogs were created equal which makes FURminator the best choice when it comes to deShedding solutions. Simply select the tool that matches your dog's body size then select either the short hair or long hair edge for a truly customized grooming experience. Matching each dog to the ideal tool significantly enhances deShedding results.
