Hi Lisa 1986, and you for posting

I believe you have also emailed our service which I have also answered..

With breast cancer, the usual type of radiotherapy that is given is what is known as external beam radiotherapy. This type of radiotherapy does not make anyone radioactive so it is safe for people to be around pregnant women and children.

It is only people who are having internal radiotherapy who may be nursed in isolation, usually on a ward where strict precautions are taken. 

The radiotherapy departments have strict safety procedures that they have to follow, not just for the safety of the patients but also for the safety of the staff. Therefore it is highly unlikely that being in the radiotherapy waiting room will cause harm to your pregnancy. You can always have a chat with your doctor/ midwife if you are concerned at all.

I hope this helps  a little, good luck with the rest of your pregnancy,

My adult daughter attended a total of 4 X-rays in 3 weeks with her 2 year old child who had a broken leg. My daughter didn’t know she was about 5 weeks pregnant. She gave birth to a healthy baby who is now 2 years old and is fighting fit!
