[ RadSafe ] Facts: breast cancer, "radioactive wires implanted", "localized seeds"

[Sandy Perle]

John,

Thank you for confirming what I and other have stated regarding the practice of breast implants as a viable radiotherapy application;

"After-loaders place and later remove
radioactive seeds temporarily into the body.  Austria
may not be putting temporary implants into breast, but
we are in the U.S".

Whether or not the woman in question provided an accurate description of her treatment, that is not the issue any more$ whatever procedure she had undergone, she did set off a detector.

Regards,

Sandy
