Adjuvant brachytherapy

I had first session of Brachytherapy 2 days ago.  Mostly it's 3 sessions approximately a week apart.  The first session took a bit longer because there is an necessary internal examination and i also had a CT scan.  It doesn't take very long about 15 minutes.  There's no pain but a bit uncomfortable.  I was so apprehensive about it and couldn't believe it was so much easier than I could imagine.  I was warned about side effects - a bit like having a bad UTI and possibly some diarrhoea but I've not experienced any of it.

Hi kiwicath, welcome to the group and well done for having had your op. Most brachy for endometrial cancer is done in short outpatient appointments, but in some instances a hospital will do a more intense one off treatment instead where you stay in longer (overnight). I had 25 x radio and 2 x brachy last year. The brachy sessions were a breeze.  It should all be explained to you at your first oncologist appointment but you could always call your CNS to ask what sort you will be having.
