Pete - you don't know anything until you get the tests so my advice is go and see your doctor. You'll need a digital rental exam - finger up your backside but don't worry it's over in a jiffy and it's not embarrassing and only slightly uncomfortable. If you get a chance have a woman doctor do it. Ladies usually have longer thinner fingers and I think they are more gentle. They do it all the time and my GP was great Next is the PSA blood test then you will have some idea of where you stand. So no point worrying until you know - so see your doctor ASAP. I once had an uncle who was convinced he had throat cancer. He worried himself sick about it, didn't see his doctor and ended up hanging himself. At the post-mortem it was revealed he didn't have throat cancer. He died because he didn't do what he should have done in the first place. You might not have PC - you might have an enlarged prostate.
