There are two types of cervical cancer. One is squamous cell carcinoma, which is caused by the virus HPV and tends to be very treatable. Another is cervical adenocarcinoma, which can form tumors and can be much more difficult to treat. It's more likely to metastasize, and often requires chemo and radiation! So, maybe her flak is blowing it all out of proportion, or maybe she is a very very sick lady....
