@njp515 I had two treatments of vaginal brachytherapy 4 years ago. These brachytherapy sessions occurred after external pelvic radiation. I haven't had any hair loss. Wait, that's not entirely true. I did experience pubic hair loss but that was in the radiation field. I haven't had hair loss from my head. I believe that one can experience hair loss due to thyroid problems. Have you had your thyroid function tested (TSH)?

Have you talked with your medical provider or anyone else about this?

@naturegirl5 Good question! I'm seeing my doctor today and I will ask her for the TSH test. it doesn't really make sense that the Brachy would cause hair loss, especially when I don't have any noticeable loss on any other part of my body. I think another possibility might be the hysterectomy itself causing some imbalances perhaps.
