Dear friend,
I am sorry to hear the diagnosis about cancer. Squamous carcinoma large cell non keratinzing type have a slightly aggressive course. however what we need to know here is how far has it spread. I believe its the cervical region you are talking about, then whether it has reached uterus or pelvis or any lymph nodes. Ask the doctor to get a ct scan done of the pelvis and we will be in a better position to answer the question. also about the white liquid discharge, can have many causes. the best way is for a gynecologist to examine it and see if it is infectious or tumor related. meanwhile she needs to maintain good genital hygiene in form of proper bathing, luke warm water cleaning of genital area and wearing clear tampoons. and regularly changing the tampoons. Please do not use unsterilized clothes as it can cause dangerous systemic infections.
Please let me know if you have more questions.
thank you
