OH, another thing I am told to do is to get as much exercise as possible afterwards. They say it is supposed to help with the half life. After my treatment, I usually go outside and rake to avoid being indoors. I guess that is my train of thought with them telling me to avoid people especially the elderly. Since I live with my elderly father, I don't want to be indoors with him and have the radation trapped inside. Should I not be raking after having radioactive scans done?
