Some days ago, I received a call from a recent acquaintance - I met her when I was warded in SGH in Feb this year. Her mum was also warded and she was there to keep her company.
My mobile phone was faulty and I was using an old Nokia phone (without the ear piece) when she called. Her mum has passed away in May and she was very much affected by her mum's demise.
Halfway through the call, I had wanted to tell her that I would call her back from my landline phone, but as she sounded so upset, I let her continue. Before the call ended, I was having a dull pain in my head. This headache continued for a couple of days.
I had used that phone some years back and had not recalled having a reaction like this before. I wonder if my body has suddenly become so sensitive due to the chemo or the cancer. Whatever it was, I truly believed that there is some danger in the long term usage of the mobile phones.
I fear for the young people of today - people like my son, who always seemed to have the mobile phone glued to his ear, and who always turned a deaf ear to my concerns.
