Prostatitis and PC

In my research I often see that prostatitis and PC are 2 different ailments. However in 2016 I had a bad bout of prostatitis. I was never the same afterwards. Much to my surprise I was diagnosed with PC in April of 2021. I am not convinced that the two are not related. Anyone had a similar experience?

    I had prostatitis in my late 20's and the MD said to me back then - Do not be surprised if you get cancer later in life because of this .Not sure how valid his prediction was. Yet some 50 years YUP did get it. Just a coincidence ? Or was it a medical fact he learned in Med school? Who knows ? Dennis(ProstateCancer.net TEAM)
