Does anyone know when you go off of your medicine and have the whole body scan how much radiation is in the tracer pill they give you?

I sure don't but your radiologist should be able to tell you. Do you have an appt. for a whole body scan? If so, call and ask and I sure would like to know so that next time, I will know the answer.
