Radition Iodine Treatment

I am going to have Radiation Iodine Treatment. I am married and have a 5 month old son and a 4 year old

son. I cannot be around the children after I have the treatment. I was wondering if anyone has come across this

issue. I can stay with family member but was wondering if there was any other options for me out there. I will be

isolated in a room for a week to two weeks.  Any information on radiation iodine therapy would be helpful. I have

thyroid cancer that went to the lymph nodes.

Thank you
