Welcome @agustinferrari. I found several members who were in their early 50s when diagnosed, like @mike1367 @voodoo5500 @klaken @roger15 @rob66 @firespooks @jogger01, who posted to this discussion:

Austin, has it been determined that you have an inherited gene change mutation that increased your prostate cancer risk? Did you learn of your diagnosis recently?

Your right that being diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer at 47 is young and not common.
