HI ,, I was diagnosed with stage 3b carcinoma of cervical cancer. I have completed all treatments of radio( 28) & internal radio (5)also I could only do2 treatments of chemo due to kidney failure , My tumor size at the time of diagnoses was 8cm , my last PET scan has the tumor at 4cm, 2 surrounding limp nodes are gone or back to normal size. There has been no talk of surgery to remove the existing tumor , I am waiting for my Pap smear to come back to see if there is new growth of cells ,,I guess my question is: will the tumor keep shrinking or stay the same or start to grow again and is there any alternative treatment that I can do is surgery is not an option at this point , after reading info on my cancer the prognoises is I only have about 30% survival rate with stage 3b cervical cancer. thanks
