    Hi Tashyl,

    I am 4 weeks post treatment. 25 radiotherapy 4 chemo ( should have been 5 but 5th session cancelled due to low platelets) and 3 brachytherapy. Treatments today are excellent.

    I found the treatment relatively easy a bit of heartburn and some tiredness at the end.

    I am feeling fine now and hope to return to work in a couple of weeks. 

    I was staged 2b as my tumour had just began to touch the parametrium.

    If you have any questions give me a shout.

    Take care x
