I am 5 weeks pregnant and someone at my work is getting radiation therapy for their thyroid. Their doctor says that they cannot be in close contact with pregnant women for a week. She will not be in work for the first 3 days. What should I do for the times that we work together? Is keeping my distance from her good enough? How serious is this?
