I wonder if anyone could tell me if taking
part in a 'radiolabelled' study is
dangerous in the long term to human
health? The reason I ask is that have
been invited to take part in a medical
study in the near future( developing anti
nausea drugs for cancer patients) but im
slightly concerned about the safety of
taking an injection and oral solution
containing a radioactive component( to
enable the clinic to track the drug)
because of the 'radioactive ' element of
this whole thing. Has anyone here had one
of these injections before , or does
anyone know of any reasons why I shouldnt
take this study before I go ahead? I just
wondered if there was any risk of
contracting luekeamia or some other cancer
from this, or if the levels of radiation
involved are minor? Any advice or
information would be very gratefully
recieved.
