The problem he had at 54 was probably caused by an enlarged prostate. If you fear that it might be prostate cancer you need to see a doctor as soon as possible. They can run tests to see if it's cancer or just an enlarged prostate. Don't delay on seeing the doctor as prostate cancer can spread quickly to other areas of the body.

ALL MEN HAVE PROSTRATE CANCER. SOME IT SPREADS AND SOME NOT. SOUNDS LIKE IT IS BLADDER PROBLEM. GO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT QUICKLY. SOONER BETTER THEN LATER AS THE TREATMENT VARIES AND YOU CAN CATCH IT BEFORE IT GROWS..... THE TREATMENTS THEY HAVE NOW ARE GREAT AND VERY LIFESAVING...

According to what you describe your relative has already an enlarged prostate (which is not uncommon at that age). To diagnose prostate cancer they check the blood for a certain protein which is correlated with prostate cancer. If they are suspicious - they will take a biopsy to verify it. It is true that prostate cancer was found to be very common in the autopsy of men over 80 which died of supposedly other causes. Prostate cancer can kill if it metastasize to other organs. It is not smart to wait for that doing nothing.

Do not fool around. Go get a simple blood test called a PSA. I had Prostate Cancer. No fun friend. Do those who love you a favor and get that test.

Oftentimes a man with prostate cancer will have no symptoms. That's why prostate cancer screening is important. When there are symptoms they are generally problems with urination. But these changes could be due to something other than prostate cancer too. Tell this man you're speaking of to see his doctor for a prostate cancer screening exam. Not all men get prostate cancer, but it is the most common cancer among men in the U.S. The risk of developing it increases with age.
