I smashed my 12-year-olds mobile phone after I read that they emit radiation. I had a sister that died from breast cancer and I want to lessen my son's chances of getting cancer.
Why are you so anxious about him getting cancer?
Not only my sister died, but also my mother died of cancer when I was six.
It's understandable losing someone to a disease like that would want you to be extra careful. Certain information that you get isn't the truth all the time, you should take time to fact check and talk with other people about information that you get especially if it's something as serious as cancer. Continuing to believe everything you hear can result in you doing things that could potentially harm others.
But I probably have cancer by now and don't you think I should focus on treating my cancer instead of learning more about it. I should be trying to cure myself from my cancer.
I can understand why you would be scared after losing so many people to cancer but you shouldn't stop from trying to find out more about it from medical sources. It is more scary to believe everything you hear and it might stop you from doing something that could actually help. You need to see a doctor to even know if you have cancer.
