Re: OT--Question regarding babies being around cancer patients

[Guest guest]

My father in law is currently undergoinf chemotherapy

and my children, 3 and 1 are allowed to be around him

as long as they are healthy, which is the same for the

adults around him. There is no danger to kids at all.

Hi, from what I remember when my mom had chemo and radiation we were

all able to be around her when she was at home, etc...but when she was

in the hospital for the radation treatments, we weren't even allowed

to visit her. It's been quite a while I wish I could be of more

help.

I have a friend who's Mom is going to have to have radiation

treatment. She is supposed to stay away from her grandchildren while

being treated. I am sorry, I don't have the specifics, but I believe

it is also for a shortwhile after she stops the treatment. She is

also not supposed to sleep in the same bed with her husband.
