You really should get genetic testing soon. Were any of those cancer’s breast or prostate or pancreatic cancer? That does increase the chance of a genetic issue. My father died of prostate cancer, but my mother gave me BRCA2 Which resulted me in having prostate cancer at 62. My brother got it 77 because he didn’t have BRCA2 But did have a father that died of it. My mother never had any problems, but both of her sisters had breast cancer, and one of my cousin died of breast cancer.

If a direct relative has prostate cancer, it increases your chance of it by over 100%.

Let us know the results of your biopsy. My first biopsy with a rising PSA showed nothing but the second one showed I had prostate cancer.

I did get a genetic test done about 2 years ago, everything came back normal, nothing concerning. My father died at 68 years old from pancreatic cancer, his brother died at 42 years old from bone cancer in the 1970's, their father died of prostate cancer at 82 years old (untreated, stubborn German farmer from WI), their mother lived into her 90's without any cancer symptoms. My mother's side, her father died of lung cancer at 68 years old (no smoking), her mother died of colon cancer at 75 years old (heavy smoker), her sister died of lung cancer at 71 years old (heavy smoker), her brother has prostate cancer right now and they removed it at the age of 79 (diagnosed at about 77 years old), and my mother had her kidney removed about 6 years ago at the age of 76 from cancer, she is 82 years old now and doing well.
