Hello, I am having RAI and my dosage will be 5.5GBQ. I have two young children and wondered if anyone has been in the same situation and can tell me when they were able to go home? Any tips to help flush it out your system quicker?
Hi, I don’t have young children but had 5.5GBQ in January 2023 having previously had a lower dose. To be honest it seemed the same.
They gave me a card at the end to say I had to keep away from children for 3 days after going home. I had been in hospital Monday to Wednesday. The guidance they give you depends on your radioactivity readings at the end of the hospital stay.
During my treatment in hospital I made sure I had a drink of water, tea or whatever, on the go all the time while I was awake. I used the shower 2 or 3 times each day. I chewed gum /sugar free sweets regularly too, to protect my salivary glands,
