I was one of the first cell phone users, back around 1997, and used the device always, even when it was huge and required an antenna. And for the first 20 years, I held it right up against my ear. I developed a sore on my ear back around 2005 or so, that wouldn't heal. I never wanted surgery because I knew they'd take away part of my ear. But over the years, it only grew into full-on skin cancer. I always hoped I could cure or reverse it…but it became a permanent, painful, open sore. At this point, most of my ear is gone, and my hearing is diminishing on that side. I'm 76 and otherwise perfectly active and healthy. There is NO QUESTION that cell phone radiation caused skin cancer in my ear. And I'm glad someone is finally looking into this terrible problem that NO ONE takes seriously.
