Hello im new here.Been diagnosed with Endometrial cancer stage 3 grade3c1.Had a?full Hysterectomy on 19th dec 25,I am about to start my chemo/ radiotherapy treatment on 9/3, part if the treatments Has anyone else had this and did you have any after effects. I have bad anxiety about this .
Hi Glamam well done for having had your op! Is it the combined chemo/radio that you’re having? I had 25 x radiotherapy in 2022 and 2 x brachytherapy and honestly the brachytherapy was a breeze. Felt not much different from a tampon being gently inserted, then 6 mins (two music tracks long) and off home I went! No side effects other than a slight warm feeling when I peed on the first day. The best thing I did was to speak to my CNS nurse about it - and she arranged for a brachytherapy nurse to phone me beforehand so I could ask any questions I had. It made a difference speaking to someone really in the know - and who was also there on the day itself.
