I believe the stats are about one in five men will eventually have prostate cancer so yes it is pretty common. The good news is it is a slow growing Cancer and caught early something usually can be done about it. I can say that there are not usually any really noticeable symptoms at least until it is advancd which is often too late so I encourage everyone to get a PSA test annually . They say once you reach age 50 but I know several guys that were younger that had issues so 45 might be better.
