My Six Hour a day on Phone gave me a Brain tumour, claims business executive

Wow, sometimes the good things e create turns to hurt us, isn't it?

Spending six hours a day on my mobile gave me a brain tumour, claims business executive, 43, who's now been given just three years to live.

Ian Phillips, 43, from Cardiff, had a blinding headache and drove himself to hospital. An MRI scan revealed he had a lemon-sized tumour next to his right ear (pictured, inset). He underwent a nine-hour operation to remove it (he is pictured, right, after the operation).


The tumour returned and although he is undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment, he has been told he has three years to live. He is convinced overusing his mobile phone gave him cancer, as his job as an operations manager for a multinational company meant he spent up to six hours a day on his phone.

Now, he uses a bright gold hand receiver (pictured, left) in order to make calls, and has launched a campaign raising awareness to the dangers of mobile phones.
