I have to be isolated after radiation treatment of thyroid cancer? what do i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Just chill: I think this is mostly done out of fear of tort liability. Folks are scared of radiation - and rightly so, but I don't think you're really a danger to anyone. Congratulations on having your disease diagnosed and effectively treated. Best wishes for a happy and cancer-free future
