Does cell phone radiation cause cancer

Karmic108

I browse my cell phone putting on my right breast using it like a stand. I got dx bc in the exact same location.

Is it a coincidence or is it can be possible that bc came due to radiation

If you want honesty, possibly. But it would be impossible to determine if your cancer is from that, because breast cancer itself is so common and was before cell phones.

I used to store my cellphone in my bra! My main cancer spot was right in the same area. I have wondered about this.

I wore my IPod for several years on and off, inside my bra and it is exactly where my tumor appeared, as well. I no longer "wear" my phone or any electronics. I thought of this when My Dx was made.This is worrisome since phones are held to our earsby so many people for so much of the time. Yikes!

How do we check if we have have any brain tumors.

I used to use cell phone by the ear and in the past couple years am using speaker while I drive..

I met my deductible and oop.

I can use some appts.

But if we just say check my brain would they do..

They did pet scan. Is there any brain scan

You have to get a CT scan or MRI to check your brain but they won't do it unless you have symptoms to check out, probably.

I'm not sure, but I just got a new phone and I swear somewhere in the directions it said to not keep it right up on your body. I sometimes keep it in my pocket but try not to. I also try not to talk on it like a regular phone....if I am out I use an earbud, and at home I will put a call on speaker. Just in case.

gb2115:

Some manufacturers put that in the manual. It's not because there is conclusive evidence that cell phone radiation causes cancer. It's to absolve themselves of liability in case it does...or a lawyer can convince a jury that it did.

Oh I know... I don't even actually worry about it, I had just never read it before. But then again, I think this is the first time I ever read the manual!!!

Here is a very recent post by the National Cancer Institute regarding cell phones and cancer

I believe there isn't enough research out yet on cell phone use close to the head and "wearing" of cell phones. I want to cut my exposure of environmental and product toxins so I purchased a safe sleeve and always turn my phone to airplane mode at night while sleeping. Dr Mercola is a advocate to decrease your EMF exposures - here is a podcast with Dr. Mercola on Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey. I love listening to both individuals.
