Can vaginal cancer kill you?

My fiance found out yesrterday that she has vaginal cancer. She is really scared.

Cancer is not the death sentence that it once was. Many cancers, especially those caught in the early stages of disease are treatable and curable. What your fiance needs to know is the stage and grade of her disease as this will determine the type of treatment she'll receive.

All cancer is dangerous and she should try to find out as much as possible about her disease and treatment options. She should also find a competent and compassionate oncologist that she trusts completely and turn her care over to him/her.

She can read more about the disease online or at a medical library:
