I had 5 sessions of brachytherapy (for stage 1b figo 1 endometriod
adenocarcinoma), and had no problems at all either during the course of treatments, nor any side effects afterward. (They do recommend dilator use several times a week for 10 min forever afterward to prevent vaginal scar tissue which can occur). I too had been worried about any possible side effects, but knew that I would never forgive myself if the cancer came back and I had not done everything possible to reduce the odds…

I haven’t heard of the dilator but that is a good thing to ask about at my first appt to discuss this on the 20th. It is such a relief to hear that you did not have any major side effects. I’m praying for wisdom and I’m like you - wanting to do all I can. My Mom died in her 50s of pancreatic cancer and I’m scheduled for genetic testing.

I’m researching diet changes to help prevent recurrence.

Thank you for this information.
