Hello Katie, I am sympathetic as I have been there. I had a radical hysterectomy 18 months ago, also stage 1, grade 2 and tissues were checked for Lynch, routine as I understand. Radiotherapy was recommended and I had a choice of full beam or brachytherapy. I chose the latter. I was very frightened when I went along, took Ibuprofen in advance. I didn't feel any pain! Also had a hysteroscopy but with spinal block as I had read that it could be very painful - but they are trying to get into the womb whereas for brachytherapy they are not. But the brachytherapy people use a superb gel and they check the correct size of instrument for you before inserting it. It only takes a few minutes. Hope this might ease your mind and hope it all goes well for you.
