Had brachytherapy today, feeling sick as a dog, migraine from hell and seem to be on the toilet every 5 minutes , how long will the side effects last ?
Hello and thank you for posting. I'm sorry you are suffering with all this.
I'm afraid it is going to be difficult to say how long the side effects will last as everyone is so different.
If you are feeling particularly unwell and the side effects are unmanageable I would suggest contacting you prostate specialist nurse (CNS), a member of your team or the GP.
I've provided here a link to brachytherapy in prostate cancer in case it is useful,
You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
