No. It is not possible to get brain cancer from mobile phones. The radiation (i.e. energy in the form of electromagnetic waves) from a mobile phone is not powerful enough to cause health problems.
Scientific opinion has come to the clear consensus that the power levels from mobile phones are safe enough to use. If you're really concerned, search for a Government report from Britain (Stewart Report - 2001) on the Internet to confirm this.
I've seen government reports from the Netherlands, Canada and the Australian Senate that says that there is no statistical correlation between cancer of the brain and use of mobile phones. The UN branch that deals with health issues, the World Health Organisation (WHO), confirms these reports. A number of scientific papers that I've personally looked at concludes that the link between brain cancer and mobile phones is very weak at best.

There have been several studies on this; some say 'yes', there is a link, others say 'no', there is not.
The type of phone matters. There are websites where you can check out the brand of phone and how much danger there is with that brand.
Most newer phones have been designed to have less of a risk.
Using an ear things (hands free) helps a lot.

well i don't think she'll get brain cancer but she can become deaf if her cellphone volume is too high or if she's on the cell to much.

No, but if they keep trying to drive with one in their ear , they will eventually kill themselves or someone else.
