layingthegroundwork,
If you had secured an X chromosome from your mom you wouldn't be troubled by the prostate at all.
Your other genetics is the second largest risk factor. Race and age play in.
Environmental exposure to insecticides and herbicides increase risk. Exposure to Agent Orange is being seen as a high risk fact. Firefighters have a higher risk because of exposure to smoke and chemicals.
The only guilt ( and absolution) you can obtain for yourself is in your vote. Support those protecting the environment.

@gently Good points even though that comment about how you vote for the environment sounds a little political. Of course the environment is not to be denied but there are many more factors involved than that. Just to name a few, what about our foods, artificial flavors, coloring, preservatives? Hormones in meat & dairy, plastics, etc etc....
And if you had an X chromosome from your mom than you could be looking at a common women's cancer like breast or uterus.

@gently His mom CERTAINLY donated an X chromosome; she had no Y chromosomes (modern fantasies notwithstanding).
