After effects of Radiation from Smit Sleeve/Cervical Cancer

Out of curiosity I look up the description of a Smit Sleeve and the first thing I read was a young doctor looking for information. Well I had one inserted thru a short procedure operation, (they sewed it in place in my vagina. The doctor told me I wouldn't know it was there, and he was right, but he didn't tell me how painful it was going to be when he attached the other part to it to shoot radiation bullets into my cervix, I really can't tell you what it looked like all I know, is after the part was attached I had to lay on my back for at least 2 hours if not more, waiting for some kind of report to come back, and you had to be catherized also, I felt like I was being held open down there as wide as they could possibility get it, one of the most uncomfortable things I have ever experienced and I pray I will never have to go through that again. The next thing that happen was, the stuck another tube, we'll call it a gun, to shoot the bullets thru the smit sleeve to the cancerous area, I don't know how the bullets came out, or if the melted or what, all I know is that I was glad when it was over, and that I only had to have go through that pain for 4 days straight. About 2 weeks after my last treatment the Smit sleeve became very painful (I was shrinking on the inside from the first radiation reatments). It wasn't taken out after my last visit because that day my GYN wasn't available to remove it. Anyway, I can't remember exactly how long it took me to finally get it out, and what I went thru after that is another story for another day.
