I never heard of opting for radiation seed treatment and not being able to be around seniors or children. I think that is BS. I had radioactive seeds implanted years ago and was only told that I could not be cremated if I died within six months. The seeds eventually lose their radioactive strength after a few months anyway. I would not let that myth deter your decision on which procedure is better. Get a second opinion.
