How Is Cervical Cancer Diagnosed?

My healthy 52 y/o mother non smoker non drinker vegetarian diagnosed with cancer waiting on staging Dr said she knows enough to know it s past stage one. I believe she could visibly see the cancer when she placed the speculum in. Dr said it looks inoperable. Best educated guess as to prognosis? If anyone can help me please.
