I am having 3 high dose brachytherapy treatments as adjuvant therapy (3 x 7g). My first two were five days apart, but the second and third will only have one day between them. I felt a bit nauseous after the first one and due to other health conditions just feel my body needs more than one day to heal in between.
Do others have experience of having two sessions within three days? It seems a lot of areas do one per week.
The only other option available to me is to have nine days between the second and third treatments.
Thank you.
