@naturegirl5 I’m new to this site & was reading your post on brachytherapy however I couldn’t find your post on your treatment experience, long term effects etc. I have endometrial cancer stage1a2, had total hysterectomy all labs were clean however oncologist recommended 4 brachytherapy sessions. The therapy is scaring me more than the surgery. My first BT treatment is
Dec 27,2024. I don’t know how it will go. Radiation oncologist stated I will receive dilator to use after treatment. I apologize if this is not the correct spot for this question.
I wish everyone the best!

Hi. Try not to worry too much about the brachytherapy. I spent 6 month’s worrying about it while had completed chemo and external beam radiation and it was easy. Maybe a little uncomfortable but it literally lasts minutes. Only side effect was feeling a little tired. The dilator isn’t a big thing and keep in mind the end result of its use: so the area can be clearly visualized. When it’s over you can ring the heck out of the bell!!!
