My dad had it, diagnosed at age 65. Was removed via surgery and followups seem to check all normal. Of course dad never had annual prostate exams or physicals, starting at age 40 (as recommended in various medical circles). His theory on medical stuff was "I am fine, why should I go get a checkup"

As an aside, prostate cancer is so common that almost every elderly man at burial, will have signs of prostate issues up to include prostate cancer itself.

Good Luck
