Hi ecce and welcome to ehealth: I am not aware of any excessive discomfort with this happening, however, you may want to google the Mayo Clinic and do some research under the Vaginal Vault Brachytherapy topic...They are a great source of information...My best to you...

Have just one more treatment to go, and have no unpleasant side effects other than feeling quite tired the following day. But I have a long way to travel to avail of the treatment involving a 6 hour round trip. Read the letter the consultant sent to my gp the tumour was less than 50 per cent into the wall of the womb, stage 1a. Now to get on with life.
