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.

Thank you that’s really reassuring, I did reply yesterday but am having so much trouble with using this site . I’ve had yoto reset password again and I have a couple of questions that I really would like some help with .

Hi. I had brachytherapy last year alongside chemo and radiotherapy. Am happy to answer any questions if I can help. I know how scary this all is and fully understand your fears.
