Radiation breaks stuff in a cell. This is much more likely to kill the cell than it is to give it cancer.
Our body doesn’t mind losing a few cells, but cancerous cells are very dangerous, so radiation exposure over a long period is likely to cause cancer, but way *more* likely to kill cells.
You already have cancer, so while the chances of causing more cancer *are not zero*, the chances of killing the bad cells are much higher.
