Guest guest Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 , I'm afraid that your problem (and mine) is much more related to the fact that you have been at least half a lifetime in work (and therefore are of a certain age) than anything in particular that you did in that time. Sitting on your butt for many years might lead to piles but so far as I have read has never been co-related to PCa. Probably better to look to your genes for cause than your employment The main thing now is to go for your remaining time (hopefully decades), determined to make the most of the time.
