![Page 9: Cancer Myths Interactive questions and answers. Question 1 There is evidence that Mobile phones can give you brain cancer A.TRUE B.FALSE.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032706/56649de65503460f94aded45/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
A = Less than 1%
What most people mean by this is, 'Will I become hooked and unable to
stop the morphine, even if I no longer need it for pain control?' The answer is a definite 'No!' Over the years, we have treated several thousand cancer patients withmorphine. We have never had trouble stopping treatment because of'addiction'. People who need strong painkillers to control their pain donot become addicted to their medications, and they do not usuallycause any harm
