What is the side effect from adjecent people have get radiotherapy , for the child and the adolt?

Interesting, I was told different. I was with my Father through Radiotherapy, then returned home and started to feel nauseated so went to my Doc. He asked me how life was and I told him about Dad. He then said 'How close were you?' I explained Dad was still alive and he said 'No, did you share the same toilet bowl, knife, plate, cup?' I said Yes, why? He reckons because we lived in close contact, I was getting nauseated from his radiotherapy. I never really thought about it, but I could see where the Doc was coming from. He gave me some pills and it solved the problem. Technicians do not stay in the room and have badges which change color if they are over exposed. However living with someone, close quarters, sharing bathroom, you tell me!

Adjascent? Do you worry of those around the patient? There is NO danger at all to anyone else. There is no active radiation envolved after exposure. Same for chemo.
