I received a lot of radiation therapy, and PET. CT scan. Will it affects others when I hugging them?


I like to hug and play with children, will My radiation treatment and X-ray cause any effect on them? I received a lot of Radiation and PET.CT scan because of nasopharyngeal cancer.

Depends on your radiation treatment. Is it external radiation therapy, internal radiation therapy or systemic radiation therapy (which also is internal). If you received radiation via a machine aimed at a part of your body you are not radio active and do not need to worry about hugging anyone. Like-wise for X-Rays. No worry.
Internal radiation is a sealed implant that stays in the area targeted. The entire body does not become radio active. Usually requires a few days in the hospital to keep others away from you and then you are returned to every day life.
Systemic radiation therapy is implanted internally but is not sealed. A lot of precautions must be taken because the whole body is radio active. Another consideration is the amount of radiation given. Large amount or small. If you have internal radiation you must find out from our doctor what the precautions are. As I said before, external radiation therapy and X-Rays pose no problems for those you hug.

no it won't

My mother had radiation treatment for cancer, and my sister is an X-Ray tech.

I can say that I have never been affected by them hugging me.

Absolutely not. Enjoy the laughter of children.

no...it will not affect anyone you hug, kiss or even make love to...(unless you do it in the CT machine)

NO, but have the doctor's keep your heart checked. they don't tell you, but large doses of radiation can affect your heart badly.

The answer depends on the kind of radiation therapy you received. If it was standard radiation then no you will not effect family and friends. If you have received radiation seeds placed into a tumor to reduce its size then yes you can effect those around you. A good oncologist would tell you to not hold babies or small children in your lap for the duration of the treatment. It is not know how much radiation escapes the body of those who have been seeded, and therefore you should be cautious with close contact.

Consider getting a Lotus Shield. This will remove radiation from your body. By wearing it you can treat people by hugging them. Go to www.gseradicator.com
TIP. call Alain Basic and tell him you met him at a health show in Toronto and he will give you a much better price.
My whole family has one. They are beautiful and he showed me on some machines how they work. It's amazing!!!
Good luck
