I always wonder about this radiation thing. I spent the best part of a

What? I don't get it... "supposed to be curing cancer" at an
"Airport"... confused....

They shot over a hundred Iodine 125 seeds into my prostate for a
cancer problem. Several months later I was in an airport talking to
some nervous TSA guys about it.

When my wife received nuclear medicine treatment to kill off most of her
thyroid, she sat in a lead lined room by herself and drank the stuff.

The doc then told me to have her sit in the backseat of the car on the
drive home and for me to sleep on the sofa for a couple of nights.

I thought he was kidding. He wasn't.
