Guest guest Posted December 28, 2002 Report Share Posted December 28, 2002 Ian, I think I may have already sent this to you direct, so if it's a repeat, please forgive me. My friend received a scan dose (4 or 5 mCi) of I131. She was playing with my 9 1/2 month old daughter at a holiday dinner party before I realized she'd been dosed a week prior. Is there reason for concern? She wasn't near her all that long but was eating and playing... you know, the whole saliva thing. I know this might sound neurotic but I'm a bit concerned. Also, any adivice would be helpful as I go through a scan as well in about two months. Thanks so much Ian. I'm a new member here and what advise I've received over the past few days has been most helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 , LOL! I'm the " friend " and I promise I didn't drool! The party was on the 25th and I received the diagnostic dose on the 18th (4 mci), so by the 21st, I should have been safe by all accounts! Hi Sharyn!

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 Hey Deb, Actually, I did freak momentarily but my bigger concern was a girlfriend who was playing with her. Didn't I mention my other friend who'd had her scan a week before hanging with Nikki. I thought I'd mentioned it on an email. A weird coincidence but her interaction was more extensive than yours by far so I figured if my questions was answered it would cover you both. I didn't realize about her scan until after the fact. Happy New Year! Sharyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
