I am get brachy (5 sessions) starting friday next week.
i have endo cancer Grade 1 Stage 1B.
the way my doctor explained it to me is a uterus with 50% or less cancer cells doesn't need to have brachy but if you're over 50% it is recommended to have brachy treatments. i'm at 57%
maybe look at your pathology report for your percentage and make your decision based on that. if your within a few points of 50% you might want to have the brachy treatments. the upside to having them so early in your cancer treatment is it's just a few treatments need. my doctor told me some people need 25-35 brachy treatments because of their late stage cancer.

@klue, thank you so much, mine point on the pathologist report is 8%, Grade 1, Stage 1A with MSH6 germline loss ( lynch symdromes). I kind of worry if it is worthy to do brachytherapy comparing the benifit and the disadvantage. I decided at this point I do not do it, hope the best not to recur. Is there any other opinions, I saw a lot recurrence cases in this site with 1A though.
