What Kind of Radiation Did You Get for Your Gynecological Cancer?

Hi
I was told before my Brachytherapy I would be given a set of tools once I was done with Radiation to use, which would be 5 different sixes and start with the smallest to put in viginia while I was showering the use a different size the next time keep going, but my Radiation Doc said I would not need to use them. That’s all she said and I just finished Radiation and was not sent home with those tools. Wished I could help you out. I never asked her about my vaginia closing up! I go back in 4 months for first check up.

Oh, the guy I saw was who brought the subject up. Asked are you sexually active, when I said no he just plain stated there wasn't going to a vagina left , it would be gone. To be honest started to really bug me. First was told 8 external radiation and 3 brachytherapy and then be told 25 external and 2 brachytherapy. And, vagina not used is gone. Just bothered me greatly.
At least seems there is possibly ways around it. I will probably ask more questions re: when they finish first course of chemo and go on to radiation treatment. Will be requesting more info. I may not be or may never want to be sexually active again but do not think your rights should be gone because of their treatment they have come up with.
