Adenocarcinoma of the cervix

Good day!

i am lawrence from the Philippines. I was searching for groups online who talk mostly about cervical cancers. My mom was diagnosed yesterday with adenocarcinoma, villoglandular pattern. It has been a tough news to take, but we are very hopeful we’ll be able to overcome this challenge. 

 

May I know for those here who were also diagnosed with adenocarcinoma, what were your symptoms? My mom only had vaginal discharge which were watery and smelly.  Not often though. Also, to those who have first hand knowledge about adenocarcinoma of the cervix, kindly enlighten me please as to what it is in terms of prognosis and aggressiveness. And what treatments you had.

 

i am one of the major sources of strength of my mom, and i always tell her of the positive things and encouragement that i read on threads like this. I am hopeful that you will be able to share some experiences and knowledge to me and my mom. God bless everyone.
