Aa
I 131 Therapy
I had near total thyrodactomy in Oct 08 and I 131 therapy in Dec 08 and now in hospital for second i 131 Therapy. Both times administered with 100 ml of I 131. This is my second day in hospital and have to attend classes in college on the third day. Dont feel easy that i sit close to my fellow mates with all those radiations coming out.
How bad would it be to go any way for the one sitting next to me and others or should i skip class for safety for another 2 days. Attending classes was kind of must for me

Thx for the advices. i got to the seriousness of the messages and dint attend college. i would never harm anyone for sure. Thx again
The person you sit near could be pregnant and not know it.
Would you ever forgive yourself if they got radiation effects from you and had a miscarraige or maybe a stillborn child?
Put yourself in their shoes.
Would you like to sit next to someone NOT knowing they were radioactive and could ablate yr thyroid or cause birth defects because they were pregnant.
Sorry....but I took all precautions seriously when I had RAI.
I never went near anyone for a week and grandkids 2 weeks.
Precautions are there for a reason.
If RAI can ablate your thyroid.....dont you think you at least owe other people the choice of wther they want to be subjected to it.
I know I would.
