I don't think there's any risk to anyone else if one has undergone normal radiation treatments. If you go under some kind of scan that requires a radioactive contrasting agent they generally tell you to stay away from children and pregnant women for a day or so, although I think that can be longer with certain thyroid scans. But I wouldn't imagine your husband would present any problem to you.

No energy levels and whatnot, that's a different story. Even if I'd had a significant other at the time I wouldn't have been ready for any sort of fun for a good 3 months post-RT.
