Does radiation cancer kill you and how can you get it?
well my friend said that if you leave your phone inyour poket and on for one day you will get radation cancer is it true? is it preventible?
Our oncologist said that there is such a thing as "Radiation Cancer" which means that you can develop cancer from radiation treatments. And I have read in the books that it can and does happen; however, it is very rare like 3%.
It must not be preventable because if it were nobody would be getting it and it would not exist.
I see you mean a different kind of radiation cancer, not from radiation treatments but by using a cell phone. I don’t think it has been proven one way or the other…yet.
If it is preventable, then not using one would be the key.
I thought you meant getting cancer from actual radiation treatments, not by a cellphone. But then again it is 3:45 am and I haven’t had my coffee yet.
no its not true. it has been a myth for a long time.

I DON’T THINK SO…. BUT I DO TAKE PRECAUTIONS SUCH AS: I USE AN EARPHONE SO I WON’T HOLD IT TOO CLOSE TO MY HEAD:-)
I KEEP IT IN MY PURSE MOST OF THE TIME AND NOT IN MY POCKET!
I THINK YOU GET MORE RADIATION FROM A MICROWAVE THAN A CELL PHONE:-)
NOWADAYS YOU CAN GET CANCER FROM ANYTHING REALLY!…IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT SO DON’T PANICK!
