Is there radiation from radiation therapy? Can I stay with the kids?

Radiotherapy has radiation, if it is external radiation therapy, you can stay with your child after the treatment is finished, if it is internal radiation therapy which requires injecting radioactive substances into the body, it is recommended to wait for the metabolism of residual radioactive substances in the body to be finished before staying with your child.
Radiotherapy can be categorized into external radiation therapy and internal radiation therapy. In the case of external radiation therapy, i.e. the treatment method of killing cancer cells through rays outside the body, once the power is cut off and the treatment is stopped, the rays will disappear, and the patient’s body will not be able to keep this kind of radiation, which will then affect the child, so the patient can be with his/her child after the end of the treatment in this case.
If you need to inject radioactive material into the body of internal radiation therapy, it is best not to contact with children in a short period of time, to wait for the residual radioactive material in the body to metabolize, at this time you can be with children.
It is recommended to actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment and consult the doctor if you have any questions.
