Like most cancers, cervical cancer can spread to other parts of the body and cause serious complications. However, when cervical cancer is caught and treated early, the expected outcome is usually very good. Treatments for cervical cancer can affect your ability to fall pregnant and/or carry a pregnancy to term. Smaller surgical procedures performed on the cervix may increase the chance of miscarriage in future pregnancies. The larger surgeries, which remove the uterus (hysterectomy), fallopian tubes (bilateral salpingectomy) or ovaries (bilateral oophorectomy), may mean you will not be able to have children. Cancer treatments, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, may all cause a range of side effects. Your medical team is very experienced at helping people manage these side effects and can give you advice and support to manage them.
