Preventative Brachytherapy - has anyone had this? What are the side effects like?

Has anyone any thoughts on brachytherapy as a preventative measure , and has anyone experienced any of the side effects quoted? If so, how severe and are they long term?

  • Hi Jensu and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I hope this information we have about brachytherapy will be useful but hopefully some of our members will be along soon to share their experiences and advice.

    If you'd like to discuss any of this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease.

    We're sending you all our support Jensu and wishing you all the best with the brachytherapy if you decide to go ahead with it.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
