Hi Tashyl

I’ve been through this treatment. The chemo drug Cisplatin is given in a low dose to boost the effect of radiation and it won’t make you lose your hair. Personally I didn’t have any side effects from it and found the radiotherapy much tougher to deal with. It’s a long day when you get a Cisplatin-the infusion is done over several hours. Some people do have some side effects, but the nurses will give you anti sickness meds and you just need to tell them if you feel unwell in any way. I found it to be the easiest part of treatment, and I hope it goes well for you too. 

Hi Tashyl,

I am 4 weeks post treatment. 25 radiotherapy 4 chemo ( should have been 5 but 5th session cancelled due to low platelets) and 3 brachytherapy. Treatments today are excellent.

I found the treatment relatively easy a bit of heartburn and some tiredness at the end.

I am feeling fine now and hope to return to work in a couple of weeks. 

I was staged 2b as my tumour had just began to touch the parametrium.

If you have any questions give me a shout.

Take care x 

Thank you for that information. I have my pre assessment for chemotherapy on Thursday fingers crossed treatment will start soon
