Hi Everyone,
As many of you know I had a muga scan last week that turned out to be normal after having one four weeks earlier that was 45. Last Wednesday, I therefore decided to take a road trip from N.E. to Michigan driving through Canada. My family lives in Michigan. I had no problem going through the Canadian customs, but was stopped when I tried to enter the U.S. Radiation was detected. We all had to leave the car and the custom officials drove it though a section to check it. Then everyone had to be checked, and when the the geiger counter was help up near me it really buzzed. The officials were supportive and said that this was common. They even knew the kind of radiation I was given. I was actually pleased that the security seems to be working, and it was also a little humorous to tell the story to my family. On a down side, I don't like the idea that I was emitting radiation. My husband is a physicist and assured me that it is a very small amount.
Best regards,
Barbara H.
