Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

She is at a really high risk for advanced cancer, due to the high hormone levels at this stage. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with an oncologyst specialized in cervical cancer. He will be able to determine the severity of her situation and discuss about the best treatment options at this stage, considering the pregnancy.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
