If I should have to go on Radioactive Iodine treatment for my thyroid cancer.. warnings on sites says stay away from children and pregnant women. This probably won't happen for weeks as I still have to meet with the surgeon.. I am thinking ahead.
I am worried about my cats! Would I be safe around my cats? I know I would be radioactive. I really can't board them or send them somewhere for a month.. best I can do is stay with my parents and have someone come in twice a day to check on them in my apartment.
I tried googling it, but I keep coming up with results as treatments FOR cats.
Does anyone have experience with being on Radioactive Iodine, and with cats? Would it harm them? Any suggestions?
ease my mind?
