A member asked:
Please tell me, could a person receiving radiation treatments hold a child?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: There is standard beam radiation that patients get to a specific field, which is fine for anyone to be around after a treatment. There is also radiation rods that can be implanted (prostate) and if so i would avoid having a kid sit in the patients lap during the treatment period.
