If what your friend is having is just basically high very concentrated x-rays to need to worry. If they will be actually putting a radiation source in her temporarily they will have her stay at the hospital anyways. They can also give basically a chemical that is radioactive that goes to the tumors directly. Find out what she is having done and email me and I will be happy to let you know what it entails. The x-rays do not make her radioactive in any way. My non ferret job is in Radiation Safety, (Health Physics). Give her ferret hugs from here.
