Hello, I had a radical hysterectomy for endometrial cancer two months ago and have now been offered pelvic  Radiotherapy. But I would like to hear from other members whether they suffered long term effects. I have a partly trapped nerve in my back which gives me buttock pain  and do not want it to get worse.   Could I please have your views quickly please as I have to decide in next 2 days. Many thanks!

    Hi Issimay9, 

    I hope that you are recovering well from the radical hysterectomy and that you will hear from others who have been offered pelvic radiotherapy and suffered long term side effects. I realise you probably need to make a decision very soon and it's not an easy decision to have to make so if you wanted to discuss the pros and cons with one our cancer nurses, feel free to get in touch with them on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

    I've noticed a thread you might be interested in - a couple of weeks ago,  posted on the subject of living with side effects of pelvic radiotherapy and don't hesitate to post a response if you wish to do so. 

    Best of luck with making this difficult decision,
