His brother, dying of prostate cancer more than doubled his chance of getting it.
My father died of it, But did not have BRCA2, I got that from my mother.
As a result, I got prostate cancer at 62 and my brother got it older, at 75, because he does not have BRCA2.

@jeffmarc, I mentioned the day fact that his mom died of colon cancer, his brother died of melanoma cancer and also had a RP with 12 sessions of radiation. He agreed that I’d like him to also have genetic testing done to determine if he carries the BRCA1/BRCA2 genes. He agrees and sent for the testing to be done.
