Don't wish to appear rude but are we talking about prostate cancer? My understanding is phosphate is just a possible cause of cancer Dave

For a lot of men there are no symptoms
If you are concerned with anything in regards to health, see a Doctor
For any men who are concerned about Prostate Cancer
Ask for a PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) blood test
Hope that the below information is useful to someone
Quote from a website
In its early stages, prostate cancer may not show any symptoms. Symptoms of early prostate cancer can include:
difficulty passing urine
a slow, interrupted flow of urine
frequent passing of urine, including at night
incontinence.
Symptoms associated with advanced prostate cancer include:
blood in urine
pain during urination
lower back or pelvic pain.
These symptoms are also found in men who may have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common, non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. If you experience these symptoms, visit your doctor.

Hi Snap,
I had no symptoms, 7 years ago my prostate was removed when I was 54. If you are worry get a PSA test. Get in early and you can have a 100% recovery.

In the early stages there are usually no symptoms, prostate cancer is often slow growing and in many cases you will die from other causes
Your first port of call is your GP who will send you off for a PSA test and according to the results will send you for further tests over a number of months to a certain if the PSA level is going up.
If you GP decides that your PSA needs to be followed up you will be sent to see urologist who will carry out further tests and scans to determine if you have prostate cancer and at what level that the cancer is at
If it is decided that you have cancer the doctor may decide to just watch and observe your cancer and see what happens. You may be referred to a an oncologist to decide what treatment is best for you
He may decide to intervene and offer you various treatments, one removal of your prostate, two, hormone treatment to shrink the cancer followed by radiation treatment, there are upsides and downsides to all the treatments.
If you do have prostate cancer there is every chance that you will be cured as treatment of prostate cancer has come along way in the last few years, so it does pay not to listen to stories of what has happened to one of your friends who may have been treated 10 or 20 years ago.
The most common problem with the prostate in men is benign enlargement of the prostate which cause problems with urinary flow and is easily treated with a re-bore this is carried out by lazer or surgery.
There is a wealth of information on the internet and a Google search will provide you with lots of info.
