MYTH: If a person is being treated with radiotherapy, they might be radioactive
External radiotherapy does not make the patient radioactive. It is safe for him or her to interact with other people during treatment. Implants used in internal radiotherapy (brachytherapy) may send some radiation outside the body. However, by the time a patient is ready to go home from hospital, the radiation in the body will be weak and it will be safe for other people to be with him or her.
