Catching Up

Hi DLT,

I am due to have brachytherapy in 5 weeks and I must admit that was one of the questions I asked my consultant! She reassured me that the nurses there have seen it all before and we are in the best hands! I send you all the positive wishes I can , you can do this!! Xxx

Thankyou both for reply it does make me feel better that I'm not the only one who thinks stupid things  and I will try and be positive

Hi DLT

I know I’m late to reply and you’ll already have had your first treatment (I hope it went well) but it might be useful to other people to know that I was worried about pooing during bracytherapy as well but they told me nobody had *ever* opened their bowels accidentally during the treatment! So I decided to trust that I wouldn’t be the first (and I wasn’t). 

best wishes

Hi Ladies 

Well brachatherapy all done the worst part was the laying still over night with the rods in it was the longest night ever but all done now.

Not feeling to bad just tired and keep napping  

It's been a week now and I still have some slight discharge (it doesn't smell) is this normal?.

Hope you are all doing well  

DLT

Hi aww nice to hear from you and to know you’re ok. I’ve read and been told that’s normal but Anything you’re worried about check with your consultant I would say. I’ve just got my dates through for my brachytherapy xx

Hi Sarah and everyone else. Hope the New Year has brought mainly good news to everyone. Had my surgery last week and feeling really good although easily tired. Unfortunately I have sone nerve damage in my thigh which is much more painful than anything else has been but hopefully as things settle down it will disappear as quickly as it came xx

Hi DLT,

im due 3 sessions of brachytherapy in February as a day patient but under a general anaesthetic each time. Quite terrified but have put it out of my mind as I’m currently going through chemo radiation. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks 

Hi Caj

I found it wasn't anyway near as bad as I thought and the nurses were brilliant and will help you every step of the way. I  know I can say try not to worry but if you are like me you will anyway, but honestly it's no way near as bad as you think 

Hi She111 

Glad you have your dates for brachatherapy then on final step to the road to recovery sending hugs and all the best. Let me know how it all goes

Hi DLT 

Thanks for the update and well done for getting through the last of your treatment! It’s natural to feel tired afterward everything’s over with but this should get better-in the meantime napping is good!  Now to get on with recovering. Let us know how you’re getting on-it’s always for new members to see how it’s been for those who’ve gone through it. 

Sarah xx
