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

I do have an achiness in my lower back, hips and legs. Ive been blaming it on lack of excercise, I do stil have vaginal burning and pain so its difficult to get things done. Other then that I am also just over one month out of treatment ending, which was 5 weekks internal radiation. 5 chemo once a week and 5 internal radiation. Except for the vaginal irritation ( I do treat with creams and pain meds) I feel good. The fatique is gone, I am eating again. I do urinate more frequently, but bowels are regular and with a softener are easy. Scans are scheduled for the 17th. So we will see whats next.

Question, internal are you saying you had 5 brachy internal a week apart? Try a heating pad before getting up seems to make bones in hips and lower back feel better. Vaginal, so far have used Replens and works for up to 3 days for me for the external radiation. Time will tell about the brachy.
I am so tired of having to have a full bladder for the 25 external radiation, my bladder is so glad for the 2 days off a week, and will be very glad next week when not pour 50 oz of water down me after noon each day till 3:15 appt.
