Radiotherapy and visiting family - is it o.k?

Can I see my.newborn grandaughter whilst I'm having radiotherapy?

  • Hi there and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear you are needing to have some radiotherapy.

    If you are having external radiotherapy then it is safe to be around babies, children and pregnant ladies whilst having treatment. There is more information about this on the having external radiotherapy web pages.

    It is only people who have internal radiotherapy that may be at risk to others and when this is the case they would normally be told about it.

    So it should be okay for you to see and hold your new baby grand daughter.

    I hope this helps

    Take care
