Relax. Implanted radioactive seeds have a very short life span. And while the person has the seeds implanted they will be in isolation. So visits will be a no no until the seeds are removed after about ten days. The operation is called oncoseed induction and is highly sucessful.

It will only affect the person with the seeds.

And you ask someone one here. How silly. Call a doctor dummy.

How much radiation do you think they put in that person. How ignorant can people get?
