Potential link found between night shift working and developing cancer - Danish women compensated

[thumbwitch]

yesterday from the BBC - apparently around 40 women in Denmark have been compensated for developing breast cancer after doing night shift work.

Interesting - the connection between melatonin and cancer is being studied more and may prove to be of great importance.

Yes, I heard this on the radio this morning and was really surprised. I'd never heard about this link before.

scary - I work a lot of nights so that i can be around during the day for my children

I work nights but have only done so for a yr ,don't plan on doing it for long.
Woman at work has breast cancer ,she has worked nights for yrs.

I worked night shifts and am planning on going back to them soon. COuld be interesting to do a study on it.... don't tihnk work would pay me for it though
