Your son Could consider getting an hereditary genetic test. That could make a big difference in how he feels about his future.

My father died at 88 of prostate cancer, That increased my risk a lot. My mother gave me BRCA2, which also increased my risk a lot. I got prostate cancer at 62 because of the BRCA2 and my father, my brother got it at 77 because he didn’t have BRCA2, but he had a father with PC.

There are many other genetic issues that can cause prostate cancer to happen sooner. One guy in this forum, got it at 45 because of a genetic problem.

My mother never had any cancer because of her BRCA2, But both of her sisters got breast cancer, and one of them died of it has did her daughter. My grandfather died of pancreatic cancer when he was young.

You could get the hereditary genetic test just to see if it’s in your family, but with his father also dying of it. A single test for him could eliminate the problem from both sides of the family..

Younger people don’t usually like to do this, But it could give him some comfort if he can do it and Nothing comes up.

Just some things to consider.
