What is the survival rate of stage 3 cervical cancer?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My mother's cervical cancer was detected in a Pap (Papanicolaou) smear test and biopsy, so the doctor removed her uterus but retained her ovaries. I do not know why she feels tired and has stomach pain three years after the surgery. We took her to the hospital, and the doctor said she had stage 3 cancer that had spread to the abdomen.

How can we help her? Will my mother survive after the cancer treatment?

Please help.

Thank you.
