    Hi

    Sorry to hear about your long wait. I had a hysterectomy in September 06, then started 5 weeks of external radiotherapy at the end of October and had the brachytherapy (vault) early in December straight after the external had finished. So in all it was about 13 weeks after the operation. Not sure if that helps you though.

    Good luck with it - take plenty to read! Zzzzzzzz!!!

    Hi there

    I completed chemotherapy on Tuesday 29th Sept and have an appointment this afternoon with the radiologist to discuss my external/internal treatment.   Will let you know what he says and when treatment is expected to start.

    Take care

    Hi Maui, Did you have any side affects after radiotherapy?
