missmayzie asked:

My Aunt ( in another state ) , was “too tired” to go get her radiation treatment , of which she gets five per week . Is this going to offset her whole treatment ? She is also on chemo pills -with a slow growing cancer that is in both lungs and lymph nodes .

Disconights asked:  

My girlfriend had to go the doctor today and take a radioactive iodine pill that will allow the doctors to scan her body for remnants of cancer she had removed last year.They told her she has to stay 3 feet away from people for a day.How does the “radiation” I guess transfer from person to person and what negative effects could it have on the person coming in contact with it.

I have been taking Iosol Forumula 2 in liquid form dropplets,1830mcg: Am I safe from the radiation from Japan?

radiation pill
L asked:


Ingredients are glycerine (vegetarian), iodine, ammonium iodode made or sold by TPCS Distributors. But I am also afraid to give it to my kids as I am told it is safe but not by a doctor and not clear on the dosage amount.
Is it as good as the iodine pills being sold to protect against the radiation from Japans nuclear plant meltdown?
I am in CA.

Paul S asked:


Question asked by another member. My cousin found radiation pills in my aunt’s room and she admitted they were hers and that the doctor thought there was a chance she may have bladder cancer(she had been tired and losing weight for about 4 months) but they thought it was just stones. Is she lying? I don’t think radiation is something doctors freely hand out…

I would like to know what kind of Radiation Pills. To the best of my knowledge, the Doctor should not have given her “Radiation Pils” to take home.

What did the pills say? Does it describe the type radiation – The name of the Isotope and the activity on the bottle.

di.dauday asked:


My father is under radiation & chemo treatment at home with medication name Tarceva – Head nurse in hospital informed us the medication is toxic, toilet is needed to flush twice after used.
Children should be away when the patient is under the treament.
Otherwise, very high percentage that the children will get the cancer when older – is it true. We will ask/consult with the doctor.
