@jeanadair123 This is awful to read and I have pain reading and thinking about what you experienced during brachytherapy. I wonder if the applicator that they used was too large for your vagina? I have not had children either but I was sexually active with my partner before brachytherapy. I recall that the radiation oncologist was careful to make sure the applicator was comfortable enough for me so that I did not have pain. He also used a lot of lubricant and gave me a heads up about each step.

Yes, I imagine it could be the size of one's vagina. It's a good question to ask the radiation oncologist. Could it also depend on whether one is in an active chemotherapy regimen and/or medications? Another question to ask.

Met the new radiation Dr. on the 8th, and am going to be setting up the 25 external radiation treatments, probably starting by beginning of January. After the form is created. Had the 3rd chemo today, Port was clogged so she ran all through vein in my arm. She finally did get port flushed. I have had 2 children so hopefully, brachy will go ok. Had to shake my head. He sent notes to my primary care, and it states he can't say I am not going to have problems with my intestine or my bladder or where will prolong my life. Really makes me wonder. I do feel am going to more than likely have more problems with their treatment plan. Thank you all for your comments. I get 2 pills of steroid to take for 3 days, after chemo that are suppose to
help with bone pain from Neulasta OnPro injection to raise white cell count. However, it also says side effect is bone pain. I used 2 pills first chemo. 3 naproxen 2nd chemo. And, then pain was gone.
