Brachytherapy

Hi , you should be so proud getting this far in your treatment . I was also diagnosed with cervical cancer stage 2 . Like yourself my last bit of treatment was brachytherapy. I was also dreading this for the reason you’ve said about lieing flat etc once the rods have been placed . I suffer with a bad back and neck so was dreading the thought of having to lie flat . I’m not sure why you’re stating you have to stay in the same position for 2 weeks . I had 3 sessions of brachytherapy , once on the day of rods being first placed , the an overnight stay having 1 in the morning then the next 8 hrs later after which when I proved I could wee etc I was then let home that evening . I actually found it ok as I was given a small pillow for my head so wasn’t completely flat and just having my head raised by few inches was good . I found it uncomfortable but not painful even when was having treatment . I took my kindle with me to read and an extra long phone charging cable . I hope this helps with going forward with your treatment and if there is anything else you want to know please ask . This was my journey with brachytherapy and I’m sure others on here who read your post will reply . Take care and good luck val x 

Sorry I mean do it twice over two weeks. Ok thank you pleased it wasn't quite as bad. Good idea about the cable! Thanks. X

Good luck you’ve got this . Just think it’s the end of journey to treat this awful disease . X
