Might fatigue be a symptom of PC?

well before I was diagnosed, I did experience light times of fatigue...which is discounted as just my age and hard workout..etc..but many cancers CAN cause fatigue which can easily be overlooked...and my exp with PC- which I thought I would never get- is cancer symptoms can be subtle.. but they are there..as you get older, prob good to get a very thorough physical every yr with PSA test and other bloodwork..and if you afford a PET scan, that will tell you if there is cancer anywhere in your body ( usually)

Thanks for that.
Two questions:
1. Why in the world did you think you would never get cancer? It seems to be something of a random occurrence (bracha gene aside), doesn't it ?
2. Okay, maybe I'm being too lazy here to do a search, but is there such as thing as a PET scan that looks for ANY kind of cancer?! I mean, I know that the PSMA scan that we're familiar with just looks specifically for prostate antigens.
That sounds a little, I dunno, almost Star Trekian...
