Prostate cancer survivor: Being fat didn't help

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

A man who had prostate cancer eight years ago has told 5 live how he lost five stone to get healthy. John Marshall was 17 and a half stone when he was diagnosed and he said 鈥渢he weight couldn鈥檛 have helped鈥�. John, who has since lost five stone, made his comments after new research found overweight men might be at a higher risk of developing aggressive prostate cancer. Scientists looked at 140 thousand men from eight European countries - and found that having an extra four inches of fat on your waist could increase the chances of getting cancer by an additional 13%. Men were most at risk when their waistline was bigger than 37 inches. This clip is originally from 5 live Drive on Thursday 2 June 2016.
