Radiation: The external beam radiation was awful I
Didn't get burnt but I was really sick for
A few weeks. I had 25 treatments
One a day mon thru fri for five weeks
Then two week break to get the side effects
Under control before I started the internal
Brachiotherapy (I can't spell lol) radiation
I need three treatment. I have my third Tom
It was awkward at first I mean I used to
Be so shy and modest about my body and
After so many exams it's easier but still
Awkward to say the least. What they do is
Put this rod or wand tube looking thinOg up
The vagina so it touches the cervix and then
Tie it to my legs and then this wire goes
Thru the tube up to the top and puts a peice
Of radiation to the cervix. U can't feel that
It's just pressure it's awkward and
Uncomfortable but not painful and I lay there
For like 8 min and they take it outalmost 9 years ago -

Radiation: Because of the cancer I had in the uterus and
Since the uterus and bowels and bladder
Are close to each other I had awful side
Effects. I had diahrea for like three weeks straight
And was really tired and didn't want to eat
Lomotil worked a little but not well enoughalmost 9 years ago -

I wanted to answer you questiOn about
Losing eye brOws and lashes but my
Phone wouldn't let me so that's why
My answer is not with the Others.
I am a uterine cancer survivor I'm 33
And had chemo (25 taxol abd carboplatin)
And am in my last stage of radiation
And I lost all of my hair everywhere
Except my eye brows and lashes only
Thinned out but didn't completely
Go U seem really awesome individual
