Next week I will have the first of 3 aggressive high dose brachytherapy treatments. I am quite nervous, but anxious to get these behind me. I had an MRI and my tumor is about a third smaller than when I began.

@cmb22. It's such good news that your previous treatment (external beam radiation that you posted about earlier in this discussion) reduced the tumor by one third. I had high dose brachytherapy and while I was very nervous for the first one since it was a complete unknown for me I found it to be surprisingly not all that uncomfortable. I felt SO good after the first brachytherapy that it was over with and I felt Ok that I celebrated by having ice cream. It was January in Minnesota then. Who eats ice cream in winter? I did!

Will you let me know how it goes for you next week?
