Hello @miriam57 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
On Connect we have some other members who have spoken about brachytherapy for gynecological cancers. I would like you to meet, @embeth99 who reported having brachytherapy for gynecological cancer. I hope that she joins this discussion to share her experiences with you.
Also, I found an article from the Mayo Clinic news network about Understanding Brachytherapy. Here is the link to that article,
https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/living-with-cancer-understanding-brachytherapy-treatment-for-cancer/.
Here is a link to a Mayo podcast about the use of brachytherapy for breast cancer which might give you a bit more information as well, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/page/podcasts/newsfeed-post/expedited-breast-cancer-treatment-1/
@miriam57, you were asking how this therapy might affect sex. Were you told of any problems that you might experience with brachytherapy or is this a general concern for you? Also, what other cancer treatments have you had?

Great questions, Yes, I was told what might happen, now some things are happening and I wonder how long it will last and what others have experienced. I haven’t had any other treatments yet..

Thank you for replying so fast. This is all new.
The radiologist talked about stenosis and ways to help. I thought it would be helpful to hear from women who have gone through this and are dealing with it. I am 63 years old with a new love in my life when this is all happening.
