A few of you know, my mother is undergoing chemo and radiotherapy due to cervical / lymf node (sp) cancer, I was told to keep from her for 72 hours as im pregnany when she has the radiotherapy but now they have said its now ok to go near her, as awful as it sounds even though they said that I am still very worried about going near her just incase it effects the baby, ive read what it can do to the unborn child, but they said im safe now but im still very worried they said, it was only for the first dose of radio as it contained the highest level.
If they have it wrong and somthing happens i would never ever forgive myself, i imagine it now in the news 'Hospital Blunder' like we see so often.
Can anyone help, i know its a long shot, but has anyone been pregnant and been near cancer paitents while they had radiotherapy/chemo?
If i do avoid her it will be for another 5 weeks as thats how mych treatment she has left, although i will be sending her flowers, making her food that my partner will take to her and send down goodies ect but would still be feeling guilty if all is ok and i could go near her all along.
Sorry to go on.
Thanks
