Hi
had last bracky on Friday so won’t be going there again 
the team were really nice and couldn’t do enough to make me feel comfortable
still got cystitis waiting to hear if I need antibiotics .Now proud owner of a set of dilaters so will see when I start them
that’s me now for three months so going to try and not think about it all till then it still seems surreal and our mind goes a bit haywire thank you all for your support .I hope you all do well and those who just starting this horrible journey willget comfort from this forum they are truly kind thoughtful ladies
stay safe xx
Hi Lara, so pleased to hear you've finished brachy! Hope all goes well for you in next three months - I have my first follow-up on 4 Feb and can hardly believe it's three months since surgery (sometimes feels like another lifetime ago). I started using the dilators about two weeks after brachy finished but you may want to wait till cystitis has cleared up. Whatever you do, take care, and stay safe. Dx
Hi Lara 5
Welcome to the brachyTshirted ladies! It's not as bad as we'd thought it'd be was it? Just undignified - I the teams doing brachytherapy are brilliant, all very reassuring.
I'm seeing a gynae consultant today for a checkup. My op was 4 months ago and brachy finished early November. I was supposed to have a phone check-up about 19th December but didn't get a call, assumed it was because of Christmas then New Year. Phoned my CNS yesterday and she was quite put out I'd not heard from anyone, Said she call me back in 10, she did & I'm seeing one of the senior consultants at 2pm today, then my Oncologist for my first 3 month check probably next week. Was beginning to think my name had dropped through the cracks.
Speak again in 3 months, big hugs, Barb xx

Hi Lara,
I’ve had my first brachytherapy session today! (Total hysterectomy on 10th Nov) I was surprised at how it went. I’d been worrying unnecessarily and was pleasantly surprised at the ease of which it was done. The staff were friendly and supportive. I’ve got two further sessions next week and that’s it!
Good luck with your recovery
