I'm not sure it is possible to draw a conclusion on that. At one time
X-rays were considered safe - people used to do magic shows to
demonstrate their use. Perhaps an extreme example, but any external

Well there is a cottage a few miles from here that sits right

Cancer affects 1 in 4 people in their lifetime so it's not that against
the odds. Not only that but if you're male then you're 95% certain to
get prostate cancer before you reach the age of 100 (assuming you don't
meet your maker for other reasons before that age, of course).
