Hello SirGood eveningMy mother is diagnised with CERIVEX Cancer . She is undergoing treatment like radiotherapy and chemotherapy. She is admitted to hospital. But for last 10 days treatment has been stopped, because blood count like platelates and total count less than 100000 and 4000 respectivelyDoctors giving injection like NEUPOGEN to recover from thisis it right? and Dr Saying she is in 3rd stage of Cancer and they dont want operate her.Is the cancer curable? what is the survival rate?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your mothers situation and problem. Stage 3 cervical cancer is incurable. And chemotherapy with radiotherapy is the only treatment available. Your mother is facing side effect of chemo and radiotherapy. Both these cause bone marrow suppression. So blood cells like platelets, white blood cells (ABCs) are reduced. This is known as pancytopenia. So in this situation, we need to stop all chemotherapy and radiotherapy. So, your doctor is doing the right thing. Survival rate in stage 3 cervical cancer is less than 2 years. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
