Glad to hear it

of course...the sting is kind of comforting, like it lets you know that you did the kick correctly.

"He banged his shin too hard and got a big egg on it - it turned nasty & he was dead 6 months later - Shin Cancer."

 

Yowza... this is not the first time I've heard of some injury turning cancerous... But how come this is so hushed up? I mean, cancer is blamed on everything from cigarettes to milk to mobile phone radiation... but how often do you see or hear "warning: coping a good old fashioned beating may cause cancer!"

 

Or does getting hit only give cancer to people who already smoke, eat red meat and use mobile phones?

 

Shouldn't there be more information on this around?

[Bitseach]

It's odd - scientifically it shouldn't really work like that, unless there were cancerous cells somewhere else in the body that were in the bloodstream that just decided to lodge there. However that would mean that they had metastasized from somewhere else.

 

They always say, for example, that blows to the breast during, say, women's rugby or the martial arts does not increase the risk of breast cancer. I've had to start reading about cancer myself recently because of the recent death of a relative. Very sad, and I'm sorry about your friend, Yoda.
