Diagnosed With Stage 1b Uterine Cancer, Scheduled Brachytherapy. Removed Granulation. Is It Ok To Still Go On ?
I had a complete Laposcopic hysterectomy 6 weeks ago, and was diagnosed with Stage 1b Uterine Cancer, grade 1-2, and am scheduled to start Brachytherapy on Tuesday, July 9. When I went for my 6 week check-up, my Dr. removed some Granulation and used Silver Nitrate, and now I have a discharge and was wondering if it is still OK to have my 1st Brachytherapy on Tuesday?

Hi,
Thank you for choosing Healthcaremagic. You can go ahead with brachytherapy only after ruling out infection. It is not recommended to give brachy during pelvic infection. Hence, I advise you to get examined by your doctor and decide.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow-ups. If you like my answers kindly rate it, and write a review as well. Please do not forget to accept it.
