I have one or two drinks a week and still got PC. How about having a vasectomy? Does that contribute to PC? I was told there was no link but here I am.

I too had a vasectomy about 30 yrs ago. I’ve not read anything indicating a verifiable connection although I understand that’s still being studied.

There’s a good bit of discussion about what causes (they think) PCa in Patrick Walsh’s book as I recall. Spoiler alert….there hasn’t been an abundance of success in determining what triggers our cells to go cancerous on the prostate. I honestly didn’t read that chapter too carefully beyond that take as my focus is forward.

Good luck to you all!
