Hi @miriam57. My three brachytherapy sessions, one week apart, 3-1/2 years ago, were uneventful at the time. They followed surgery and chemotherapy, which were more eventful. The radiation itself lasted 5 minutes to 17 minutes, depending upon how charged the radiation machine was. I haven't had a sexual partner since so I can't answer that question. I believe that it worsened my incontinence. I would go through it again in a heartbeat, since it could have prevented recurrence for me. Here are two resources for you. SHARE in NY has just started to offer a Helpline for uterine cancer patients/survivors in addition to their breast and ovarian cancer support. Helpline: 844.ASK.SHARE or 844.275.7427. Also, I work with a pelvic floor physical therapist online in NY. I really, really, really wish that someone had told me about pelvic floor therapists before. Isa Herrera's website is https://pelvicpainrelief.com/ and you can find her on FaceBook at Isa Herrera, MSPT. She has helped almost 15,000 women with pelvic issues and I can't say enough wonderful things about her. I live in Seattle, where I was treated for cancer, so you don't need to live in NY to utilize either of these great resources. Good luck to you Miriam and please post again.
