has a sign that says anyone under 18 should not be in it. It's main purpose is for radiation treatments. Should I be worried?

Before anyone asks; I'm not here for myself I'm here for my brother, Eplawsl.

That sucks, what happened to him?

In January we found out he has a type of Lukemia called, "Lymphoblastic T-Cell Lukemia". He's been relatively fine aside from a host of side-effects from all the medication he's been taking. He got a fever so we took him down here so he could get some anti-biotics via an I-V.

Ouch, sounds bad. He had Lukemia.....
Also, your brother is Eplawsl.....

I think the idea is that radiation is more likely to be harmful to the young'uns. If you're only there for a short time, to visit, then I would guess you'd be safe. But frankly, you'd be better off asking a hospital employee rather than minecraft players

Best of luck to eplawsl... hope he gets well soon.

Thanks, I'll be sure to tell him you all wished him luck if he doesn't see this post before he wakes up.
Yeah we've been here for 3-4 hours so I'd imagine it's not too bad, that and I'm not too far off from 18.

so true.

Okay, well they took the sign down so I guess it's only when the radiation treatment just happened or is in progress.

I'm sorry you're having to go through that. =/ Stay positive

Thanks We've generally been pretty positive, except for when his side-effects from the medicine pop-up.
