Hello bracytherapy I had three sessions of internal radiotherapy last 7 minutes each session over three weeks, it’s to stop the chances of recurrence in the vaginal vault after all removed the robotic op 

all done at chrsties was fine just few weeks after some tummy troubles and extreme fatigue but feeling so much like my old self x so I had the op and bracytherapy they decide that at the MDT after histology reports from after the op xx 

Awe bless you, you are so brave.  There is no way I can put myself through it unfortunately.  I had a smear when I was 21 , passed out and was sick and dizzy.  I came out of the doctors in a wheelchair!!  Shamefully never had one since or an internal examination and I’m 61 now .  Was married but never had children unfortunately.  Honestly I’m such a wuss .. like I’ve said you have been so brave bless you xx

Ohhh wow there’s so much out there Iv never heard of … saying that it was only a week today they said I had cancer so still all quite new to me.

You doing ok now? Hope everything is ok and you feel much better now ️ x

Hi thank you but something like that happened to me whilst I was having a hysteroscopy a couple of years ago, the dr tried to dilate my cervix to remove the fibroid and I suddenly felt faint awful and heart rate dropped blood pressure dropped she gave me some meds and I was ok but she said I went into cervical shock 

I sss so scared in jan this year when I went to have another hysteroscopy but she said she won’t be dilating  the cervix so it wouldn’t happen and I was fine

td bracy as no cervix left it was easy nothing like smear etc so please don’t be scared please xx 

When I had to have a hysteroscopy I asked my doctor if I could have a general anaesthetic and the hospital agreed thank goodness...never be afraid to ask to be knocked out for anything.... x

Please don’t be afraid of the bracy honestly iys not bad at all xx

Definitely not having it .... It would be too painful for me because no way could I relax x

Dramalady, it’s your decision entirely but I’m going to put this here anyway for others who may be reading. Brachytherapy is nothing like a smear. It’s a tiny applicator the size of a tampon or a finger. I hate smears and anxiety over smears led me to leave it 9 years once as the thought used to cause me extreme distress. But brachy was a breeze, I had 25 radio and 2 brachy and would rather have had brachy any day. And since the cervix area is where recurrence is most likely to happen if it’s going to, to me it made sense to have it, especially as it was only 6 minutes - 2 songs on the radio.
