No, I have not! I have heard that frequent blows to the head cause brain tumors! Doctors will not say that outright, but my father and husband BOTH have brain tumors. My dad's is not nearly as bad as my husbands' since his is benign. My husband's on the other hand is malignant. When my father was a young boy, he'd hit his head against the wall on purpose... just for fun! When my husband was younger, he played tackle football and also was accused of being somewhat "clutzy" and ALWAYS hitting his head when he'd fall. I am convinced that the tumors that these men in my life suffer from are all because of getting hit on the head one too many times!! JUST FYI!!!

I hope it is not. I have seen patients on prozac for the last ten years and they have not developed any brain tumor. Even if there is a link between anti-depressants and brain cancer people prefer to have the therapy for depression.
But studies have shown that Certain types of anti-depressants can increase the risk of breast cancer. and some cases have been found in US. But the link to Brain cancer is ruled out.-

Haven't heard this one until now. There's a link between everything and cancer these days. Don't believe everything that you hear/read because most of it is nonsense.

I haven't and I hope it isn't true. Life is hard enough!
