It turns out the type of cancer caused by cell phones is a glioma. Glia are the support cells of the CNS. I am definitely cancelling my cell phone contract this August, and switching to a land line.

I've heard you can get a headset (it's called something similar to that) where you don't have to have the phone at your head in order to talk into it, instead using a wire to it, and you can keep it at your waist or something.
