What are the treatments available?

Are you sure this is the correct forum for asking such questions, bearing in mind that any Tom, Dick or Harriette can say anything?

The NHS website has information: http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/articles/article.aspx?articleID=77

Since it's cancer, it's not that high in the first place. But for a 62 year old, the chances are much slimmer. The reasons are that when you are getting older (being past 40's or 50's), your immune system is usually weakening because it's harder to maintain a high level of immunity and protection in the body. You are less active, your hormone levels are lower, less energetic, and all contributes to slimming the chances of survival.

As for treatments, chemotherapy may be the only real treatment available, but because of the age, I would be worried of how the person would hold up in such an intensive theraputic care. Other treatments maybe be available such as medicines that may help put the cancer in recession or slow down the damage cancer may be doing. But there are no cures for cancer, so you're options are fairly limited unfortunately.

In the sources is a great website about cervical cancer and other treatments that you can try to go through. But again, with cancer survival is usually low. Good luck.
A family member has cervical cancer and had both chemo and radiotherapy. She is doing extremely well now and at home and out walking her dog - her age is 68. Remain positive and may I wish you an extended and active life.
