NOTE PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING BEOFRE ANSWERING!IF YOUD DON”T TELL ME I WON”T BE MAD< HOWEVER I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW!
Alright, so HI, i am a girl 13 years old, but i am turning 14 in about 3 months. I got a cell phone in grade 6 and two days later i had a terrible migraine, i convinced my mother to take me to the physician and they said i had a migraine(it lasted 7 whole days!) they stated i would get them because my mother has migraines each 6 months that are so bad she cant get out of bed.
So i played with my new phone, talking while charging, texting speaking a lot, until i found out that ou they have the ability to give you brain cancer, i stopped immediately using my home portable phone for hours. Till today even! So anyways about 6 months ago even longer i can’t remember i started seeing stars randomly, like one or 2 of them coming in bright colours not disrupting me but enough to make me scared. I also started getting weird pains in my head, like okay well, do this:
touch the back of your head in the centre, then move your fingers 2 inches to the right, 2 inches up and 1 inch to the left. there, well about there i get thiss pain like a vain or something going deep in there sort of attatched to me eye pull, or feelslike stuff is going there, its weird, throbs for 30 seconds goes away and sometimes comes back. This happened for weeks, then all of the symptoms stopped. Then some time later they started and stopped, all over again. Npw this pain comes rarely , comes like 3 times in a day hurts and stops, and again a few days or wekks, or months later! Its so weird! (sometimes i get ringing or high pitched squeals in my right ear as well but that goes away too, my friend says she gets is also .) i twitch a lot sometimes, in my veins or muscles but doesnt everybody now and again? I told my mo this i told her i might have brain cancer, she stated i don't, she said if i did i would have bad headaches, seizures and stuff, and tumoors are rare in kids. I said wha if im different? and she stated if i had this for months now and they didnt get worse( stopping actually or decreasing) i probably dont. I told my doctor this all my twitches and weird pains and he stated that if i get this anf the pani lasts for only a few seconds and goes away coming casually we dont worry about it. i am a hypochondriac and my mother is sick of hearing such outbursts, so im scared.
You know what, this day i faked a huge headache, i think ill do this till she gets me an MRI ..She said if i dont have symptoms they wont take me in , they will but in tso long because ppl need MRI's..So what do you think?
( did have an eating disorder and ate unhealhy as a lack of exersice, and stay on the personal for housr, but when i bettered myself they came, not often but still…i also drink very tiny water..)
and see, this day it hapened like 5 times, mild to extreme, its lasts little its weird..i get a lot of headaches but im often on the personal they go after tha i mtrying to stay off:P
so people survive brain cancer?
do they survive, will i die?
i was born pre mature by 3 months my mmom said until i ws 3 i went for CAT scans and stuff, no one found anything abnormal, im healthyish, need more fuit but im okay
i get these pains averyday but for so little time, varying from painful to not really that bad
Answer:
u knw for a while i went through the same thing. I had this occassional headache and when i browsed the net i found out that it could be a symptom of brain cancer and then i went to see the physician and she stated i had sinuses. For a while though i always thought that IT IS CANCER and after that i started imaging leg pin coz i heard this young girl passed from bone cancer in her leg and i went to see another physician. I actually cried for several nights thinking that i had bone cancer but after all i jst came to terms with the fact that IT WAS ALL IN MY HEAD. believe me when u think that u hve pain then U HVE IT but the fact is there is no pain and its jst in ur head and ur jst payin too much attention. God frbid, even if u had brain cancer who said ur gonna die from it??? i knw a family member who had a brain tumor and she is alive and healthy now!! its all in god's hands and no1 knws wats gonna happen to us. So for now jst STOP THINKING ABOUT IT coz ur gonna jst make it worse. If it puts ur mind at rest go to c doctor but brain cancer has symptoms and i dnt think u hve brain cancer.
Answer:
Your mother is right. I'm sure you get headaches from staring at your computer so long or from not drinking enough fluids or from not eating right. It sounds like you should see a counselor instead of getting the MRI. Don't waste your whole life worrying about getting sick. It'll eventually make you sick.
Answer:
My flatmates bf is a med student at the best med school in the UK and he told me a while ago that a headache is rarely the tell-tale symptom of brain tumours. It is more likely to be seizures and visual distortions. Headaches can be so many other things. Go to your doctor to put your mind at ease, but I am sure you are worrying yourself over nothing.
Answer:
First! I want you to be calm, If you mother don't take you to the Doctor can you ask a Aunt or Ucle. What about a Older Cousin, I think you need to know whats going on. It might be nothing but you want to know. Plus get a cell phone earpiece so you don't have to hold the phone to your ear. Better yet when you talk on the phone put it on speaker. I will pray that its nothing bad, continue enjoying life don't let that get you down. I am going to pray for you also you pray as well. God answer pray remember that. You’re a child of God.
Answer:
Alright. I DOUBT you have brain cancer.
There is NO clear connection between cellphone usage, and brain cancer. Please consider it. If cell phone use caused brain cancer, then nearly everyone would have brain cancer. Here’s from a study
* First, the patients with brain cancer didn’t report more cell phone use overall than the controls. This finding was true when all brain cancers were considered as a group, when individual types of brain cancer were considered, and when specific locations within the brain were considered. In fact, most of the studies showed a tendency toward a lower risk of brain cancer among cell phone uses, for unclear reasons.
* Second, none of the studies showed a “dose-response relationship” — a tendency for the danger of brain cancer to increase with increasing cell phone use, which would be expected if cell phone use caused brain cancer.
* Third, the studies did not show a clear link between the side of the head on which the brain cancer occurred and the side on which the cell phone was used (with the possible exception of the Swedish study).

Answer:
Wow, the question you constantly ask keeps getting longer and longer. Sounds like you're on the phone and computer too much, stay up too late and eat crappy junk food. Those are your biggest problems.
You've had bulimia, ocd, hiv, aids, and now brain cancer. Girl, go see a therapist.
Answer:
I think your mom should get you tested just to set your mind at ease. One sympton I have generally heard about brain tumors is that you get headaches when you are sleeping so bad tht they wake you up at night. This is due to pressure in your head that is caused when you lay down. I havent heard you describe that.
Migraines are inherited.
There is no evidence that cell phones give you cancer. It is something that’s being looked into. That is all. If they did, it would be after long term use.
Answer:
You’ve migraines (family history of them), you’re getting eye strain due to so much time on the computer and you don't eat like you should (even though you think you’re eating right).
When I spend so much time on the computer I get eye strain and headaches. My own fault and I limit my time on the computer. Doesn't matter if I’m playing games, reading, chatting with friends or anything like that. Too much eye strain is too much eye strain. It's not limited to what you’re doing on the personal.
To put it in a nutshell: You do not exhibit the symptoms of brain cancer. How do I know? I have brain cancer and trust me I would rather to have what you have then to have what I’ve.
The fact that you’re faking things tells me that you’re simply looking for attention. Try joining a club or take up a job or a hobby that’ll occupy your time so you don't have so much time to worry about what diseases and cancers you could have.
Answer:
sounds more like eye strain than brain cancer. You shouldn't worry about it–especially if your mother had migraines, it makes sense that you’ve them too so it is probably nothing more. I know that when I was younger, I used to get headaches and pains like you a lot, but I kind of grew out of them. You probably do not have cancer.
And yes, cellphones can give you cancer, but they will not give it to you immediately and they only marginally increase the danger. if you are worried, use a headset instead of tlaking right into the phone.
