Could there be a link between cell phones and breast cancer? More and more anecdotal evidence is starting to emerge, which points towards it being a very strong possibility.
In December 2009 Donna James, a vigorous, healthy and athletic woman with no pre-disposing factors for cancer, was found to have a multi-focal breast cancer. The only factor her doctor Robert Nagourney MD, could find was that Donna had a habit of tucking her cell phone into her right bra strap to carry it.
Having found three tumors, they realised that the location of the phone related to the 3 tumor locations.
While there is no direct proof that the cell phone caused her cancer, it should certainly serve as a very potent warning not only to other women who might tuck their phones in their bras, but also to anyone who keeps their phones in trouser or shirt pockets as well.
Always keep your cell phone away from your body. Avoid carrying it whenever possible. Turn it off when you do have to carry it and only switch it on when you need to make a quick call or to pick up messages. When you've finished...DISCONNECT!
