From the article: Symptoms of Prostate Cancer
Most men today are diagnosed with prostate cancer without experiencing any symptoms at all. But many men first see their doctor after developing symptoms. Did you have any symptoms before you were diagnosed? If so, what symptoms caused you to go see your doctor?

I wish I had known this years ago

I wish I had known this a few years ago. My father had these symptoms. He is now, unfortunately, dead.
