Brachytherapy for breast cancer?

Last reply: 26 November 2015 16:36

Has anyone experienced brachytherapy for breast cancer? And, if you have had the previous experience of full external beam radiation, how do both processes compare?

Hi Lucibutterfly,

I had brachytherapy for Endometrial cancer and had positive experiences of both. Brachytherapy takes longer and it's very different from external but you are made very comfortable and can listen to to music. Hope that helps!
