Vaginal Brachytherapy treatment
Hi
Had my first treatment of 3, started the first one Monday and go today for my 2nd one and have the last one Friday then all done , just go back for periodically for treatment. I am getting 15 minutes of Radiation and time they get you set up it takes all together close to a hour. There is a little discomfort when finding which size of tool they need . They try 3 different sizes so when they find the correct one they take that out and insert the same size one that gives you the radiation. Then they hook up wires to the tool they use then start the radiation on a timer, it shuts off when done. Then Doc comes in removes the tool and wires you are all done. You do have to have legs in stirrups and I had to have CT Scan where they put me though it 3 times then they hook the wires up to the tool and then radiation begins.
