Brain Tumor Brings Court Victory for a Cell Phone User...

Sharesa Price thought it was just another in a series of sinus infections. Her head and eyes hurt, and she was vomiting. But then Price had a seizure, and a brain scan found something far more troubling. "When I got home, the phone was ringing.

It was the doctor's office, and they told me, `Brace yourself. Honey, you have a brain tumor.' I was standing by the refrigerator, and I just collapsed, saying, `no, no, no, it can't be a brain tumor,'" she recalled.

After her diagnosis in 1999 and surgery to remove most of the tumor, Price started looking for answers. She became convinced that exposure to radio-frequency radiation on the job, where she programmed cell phones for new customers, had caused the tumor.

In May, an administrative law judge who handles worker's compensation claims awarded her $30,000 to pay her medical bills and other expenses. Price may be the first person to convince a judge that her illness was caused by radio-frequency radiation.

The decision is unlikely to have widespread repercussions for the cell phone industry, however, because the settlement was small. Price's customers at Advanced Communications Systems in northern California were doctors, firefighters, police departments and security departments for casinos, and she loved her work. She used a cell phone several hours each day, and the room in which she worked contained transmitters that emitted radio-frequency radiation, she said. Price said when she filed a workers comp claim, her boss fired her, eliminating her health insurance. Then she lost the case.

The Native American single mother of two daughters was devastated. She turned to Tribal Health, a government health agency for Native Americans, to get anti-seizure medication. "If I hadn't been Indian, I would have died," she said. Her former boss, Dave Bohlen, said that he did not fire Price, that she quit based on her doctor's advice that she not return to work there.

Bohlen said he dropped the insurance because she was no longer an employee. He called her worker's comp case "frivolous" and said there was no proof her tumor was caused by working in his small shop. "There's nothing harmful going on here," he said. After Price recovered from brain surgery, she went to the Internet and found researchers studying the biological effects of radio-frequency radiation, and got to know them. "I would call them up and say, `You are absolutely dead on.

If a rat could talk, this is what it would say. I'm the human rat.' "Price couldn't find an attorney to take her case until she contacted Carl Hilliard, a semi-retired lawyer and president of the Wireless Consumers Alliance, a California-based consumer-advocacy group. Hilliard volunteered to represent her pro bono and re-filed her workers comp case.

Hilliard said his group has represented cell phone users in issues involving poor service, billing problems and misrepresentations by cell phone service providers."We're the ones who filed a case saying federal law does not pre-empt state law [on consumer issues] and won that case four years ago," Hilliard said. Hilliard brought in Dr. Nachman Brautbar, an occupational toxicologist and clinical professor of medicine at the University of Southern California School of Medicine, to review Price's medical records. Brautbar has been an expert witness in a number of high-profile cases, including the chromium poisonings from polluted drinking water portrayed in the movie Erin Brockovich.

Brautbar reviewed Price's case and wrote a report supporting her claim that the tumor was caused by exposure to radio-frequency radiation."It's not a money issue, suing the company, it's a health and safety issue," said Price, who speaks to school assemblies and classes about the need to use a headset when talking on a cell phone. "We need to explain to people that just like putting on condoms, you have to take this precautionary measure to make the product be as safe as it can be."

I have posted this full story because it is a good example of the ignorance of our leaders. What we cannot see, hear, feel or touch is easily dismissed by the population and if it is making the rich, richer even better.

suicidal - brain tumour diagnosis?

My partner was diagnosed with a terible terminal illness (GBM brain tumour) ) 4 days after our first baby son was born. I am finding it hard to even support him or be happy that we are a family at last - I just want to jump of a bridge - our future has been taken away and I dont want a baby unless we can be a family - I dont know what to do - i am screaming inside. He is my soul mate.
i dont feel i want to go on - i want a way out of this - i feel like running away from them both.

Sounds like things are really quite hard at the moment. I have a lot of respect for you, having to go through all this, and all I want to do right now is go and talk face-to-face and give you a hug and listen to you.

It must be hard to feel you're future has been taken away and I can't imagine going through this. I think firstly you need to congratulate yourself for coming this far and for always getting through until now; you're strong even if you don't feel you are.

I know the future must be uncertain for you at the moment, but try and find all the positives in a negetive situation. You still have your partner here with you, so try and make the most of it. Try and enjoy every second, and don't let worry, depression and stress take over your life. You're worth more than those bad feelings.

You also have a baby son. Live for him, he needs you, and he is a gift. Remind yourself of the love you have for him. Even in the future you will still be a family. I live just me and my Mum, it's been that way since I was small, and we are still a family even though it is just us two.

I know how feeling suicidal is. But you have a lot of people who love you - i'm sure, and i know that sounds overused but really, i'm sure. You have your soul mate, and he will always love you, and you can always be happy you shared that love and meant so much too each other. You have your son, who loves and needs you and you share a special bond. Friends and family also love you to bits.

Maybe it's a good idea to talk to a trusted friend or family member about how you're struggling and what you're feeling. You're not a bad person for feeling these things, so they will not judge you as they have no reason to. You could also go to your doctor or talk to a counsellor - there are lots of people out there to help you and listen to you.

Don't act on your suicidal feelings. The fact you haven't acted so far is very encouraging to me, and it should be to you. You've got this far, and you can go further, much further, you can find your strength and pull through. Find all the resources you can to help you cope - friends and family, doctors and counsellors, helplines, groups, everything and everyone you have. There are lots of people who know that you deserve so much better than what you are feeling, and will be willing to help you through everything.

He may be your soul mate, but without him you can still carry on, you can still get through everything. He will always be part of you, and I'm sure he will always want you to be happy and continue to live life, and he will always want the best for you.

Try and find the trust and faith in yourself that you CAN carry on, you can still go on, because you can. Everyrthing really is going to be ok, however they may turn out. You can make it through anything, so even faced with a bad situation, just remind yourself how you want to pull through it, and how you really really can.

All the best, lots of love, xx
