What are the prostate cancer symptoms?
None of the above. They may be symptoms of cancer once it spreads from the prostate to other areas. I had no symptoms and prostate cancer was detected as a result of annual physical and blood check for cholesterol. My PSA went from 1.5 to 4.5 in 12 months. Doctor ordered biopsies and cancer was detected in 1 of 12 areas. The Gleason score was 4+4=8 (aggressive tumor) I had the prostate removed a month later. They found cancer in the sections the biopsies missed.


I was 59 when it was removed. With no symptoms.
Reply:Prostate cancer does not give you early warning symptoms. If you experience symptoms that are confirmed by scans to be caused by prostate cancer, it means it is very advanced and beyond any treatment that will cure it.





Dont wait for symptoms to say you might have prostate cancer. Do your early detection tests including PSA blood tests every 6 months to a year to catch it before it is too late.





I have advanced prostate cancer and I still have no symptoms, absolutely none. I never had symptoms before my diagnosis either. My prostate was removed, but cancer returned a year later. Still no symptoms. Again, dont wait for symptoms. Do your screening tests faithfully and catch it early.
