On, March 16th, 2022, I had a large tumor removed from my colon. I came to realize later that it corresponded to the same area where I was regularly wearing my cell phone for years. Could cell phone radiation have caused or contributed to this tumor? It's something to think about. Radiation is known to be very harmful. Since cell phones act as transmitters and receivers. Could someone be directing higher concentrations of energy toward any particular cell Phone?
