Brachytherapy side effects

Hi Dolly 3

I had 3 brachy sessions in June last year ,one in one week then two the following week .To be honest I had no problems at all with my bowels or bladder and didnt feel as if Id had it done .

It was over quickly and I was on my way home hope everything goes ok with yours 

Hi Dolly3, I had 25 x radio and 2 x brachy in 2022. Side effects are only “possible”, not a given. They have to explain the possibles, but a number of us have none at all. Apart from it feeling a bit warm when I had a wee (after my first treatment) - which didn’t last - I had no side effects from the brachy whatsoever. And since the most common place for recurrence is the underside of where the cervix used to be, I was especially glad I’d had the treatment.
