Question about prostate cancer

Question about prostate cancer?
I heard recently that if a man takes a pregnancy test and it is positive that it can indicate that he has prostate cancer. Just wondering if this is true at all. Well, I personally know a few guys who have taken one just because they wanted to see what it would say....guys will be guys lol. But what brought this convo up was I told a friend that once a guy had one come back positive and then he told me about the prostate thing. So it stuck in my mind and it became one of those stupid things I just needed to find the answer to.

Could be he's pregnant - lol lol Seriously - never heard of that... Why would a man take a pregnancy test any way?
3 :
Close, but no cigar. The hormone checked by the pregnancy test is beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (B-HCG). This is also made some TESTICULAR CANCERS, but not by prostate cancer. So, if a man takes a pregnancy test and it comes back positive, he should have a scrotal exam by his physician.

They always make a big deal of it around Father's Day
2 :
Prostate awareness month is in September. Testicular cancer does not have a month.
3 :
October, is the entire month for all cancers. Most people are not aware of the fact that so much is said and done about Breast Cancer because so many women have banned together to keep it at the forefront in the news 24/7/365. Where as the other forms of cancer simply do not have the army of volunteers like breast cancer does.
4 :
Denise is right; prostate cancer awareness month is September. Testicular cancer awareness month is April
