very sad news; Gord Downie of The Tragically Hip has terminal brain cancer

[Anonymous]

Good article there Seoul brother. The Hip are the Stompin Tom Connors of alternative rock. I would love to the show in Winnipeg.

By any chance, are all these brain cancers/tumors being caused by cellphones and other electronic devices we use?



such as bluetooth ear devices, etc.?



Seems Downie isn't the only celeberity affected by this.

Is the rate of brain cancer spiking JOE?

Here's a link from the University of Berkely in California which suggest that there is a causal relationship between heavy cellphone use and various brain cancers:

I'm not saying that Downies cancer was caused electromagnetic radiation emitted by cellphones, but am merely speculating on the possibility.  Other notable figures in recent years who died of brain cancer in recent years include Edward Kennedy and Joe Biden Jr.

I am not surprised a link has been found..



But, are brain cancers spiking?

...some sources say yes, but others say no.



This link says the risk of brain cancer has increased by 290% in places like Sweden.

Other nations such as France and Denmark have also witnessed increasing rates since cellphone use has exploded.



Brain tumors in children are also increasing.



Advisories state that users should not hold the phones to close to their head or ears because of chemicals from the phones which have the potential to pass on through the ear into the brain.



Given that Downie was working in the music recording industry, this may have increased his exposure to cancer, and the apparatus he used may have contributed to that. Again this is only speculation, but one wonders with the spate of fatalities due to brain cancers and tumors, if there is a link between electromagnetic radiation and the disease. Downie isn't the only celebrity who's been diagnosed with brain cancer.



I never used to hear about many people dying of brain cancer several years ago. But its incidence does seem to be increasing

I see, thank you.

My Dad had one of those big bulky cell phones, he had it for work back in the 80's. The exact same spot where he held it to his head is where his cancerous tumor grew.  He also had prostate caner, which he beat years before. He always had a big bottle of Coca Cola in the fridge. Coke is the worst soft drink you can possibly drink I think. I read somewhere that it influences cancer cells to grow.

All soft drinks are very unhealthy.

My Mother died last month of cancer that had spread throughout parts of her body, and ended up in her brain.  She was in her early 60's.



My (step)father passed away in January, from unrelated causes.



The brain cancer caused a couple of seizures in the end, which are not good.  They can fuck up your brain, and it's hard to watch.  It can totally scramble your brain, and who you are.



I didn't realize that cancer ran in my family, until this.  It didn't, until this.



My family had all been heavy smokers from the beginning of time...  No lung cancer ever.  



But yet this, which the Doctors believe started out as breast cancer in her...  They thought they had it under control.  They did not.  It spread.



It is a terminal illness, which I have just experienced, and it can hit hard at a young age.  I feel for the family, but they at least now have time to get their affairs in order.

I have to arrange burial here shortly.



If you think life goes on, I have news for you...



Here are my mother, and my father, awaiting burial.



I am the only one that is here to deal with this...

Sorry for your loss.
