Cancer myth I heard on the radio: is it true?

[Turquoise- chan]

They were talkking about cancer on the radio, and how cell-phones can increase your risk. (Which I'm not sure is compleely fact anyway,, but I digress...)

Then a man called in and said his wife was diagnosed with brain cancer. Her doctor told them that every human has potential cancerous cells in their body when they're born; it just takes the right circumstances to "activate" them. Ex: Radio waves, exess heat, exposure to more UV rays than normal, ect.

Is it really true that every human has cancerous cells in their body at birth?

Unfortunatly, it is true. Everyone is born with cancer, it's just not active until the right circumstances happen. Some poeple never get it, some die from it.
