Joanne,
The Doctor’s will normally give a dose between 12 AND 24 milicuries (that is a measurement
of radiation). Sometimes it is better to under shoot the dosage. Less side effects, quicker recovery
and in the case of radiation the lesser amount you can get by with the better. So sometimes two doses
are needed. You will have to keep away from childern (at least eight feet) and about four feet away
from your family. Eat on throw away plates and utensils. Flush the toilet four times after each use.
You will be out of work about four to seven days depending on the dose. Give me a call if you any
questions. Ph 407-254-9719. I will return your call collect.
REgards,
