I had a meeting with oncologist today to discuss brachytherapy following a total hysterectomy almost six weeks ago.
The proposed treatment is three brachytherapy sessions as adjuvant therapy. My final pathology showed greater than 50% myometrial invasion and focal LVSI.
I am worried about the side effects, especially any longer term ones on bowel and bladder.
It would be helpful to hear of others’ experience of brachytherapy.
Thank you.
