Well that has gone so quickly and sorry for not updating.
1. The chemo wore off gradually - tiredness and nausea not as bad as last time and subsided until week 3. By which I felt nearly normal.
Hot flushes continue but I'm back onto magnesium at bed time and I think it helps so they are there but less intense.
2. The final radiation went uneventfully.
3. The branchytherapy was not pleasant - the thing the use is very large and hurt a lot going in. Then a week of bladder twinges and some diorreah that came and went.
Now I'm 10 days past the poos have returned to normal and even a few hard ones. The bladder is not hurting but I need the loo often but hopefully that will improve over time.
I hope this helps a little when I was starting I couldn't really find out much about how it would be.
