no i belive they are two different things considering ones in the ass and one is on the chest. I do not belive they are linked

I don't think this is a serious question, but I'll answer anyway. No. Prostate cancer is cancer of the prostate. Brest cancer is cancer of the breast. Obviously. And just because you feel pain there does not mean you have cancer.

Are you still here?Go to your doctor and do the demand test for prostatic antigen(PSI) and all of the demand tests.Maybe you have something real simple as prostatitis. But you are on the critical age.Don't ask us.Get the right opinion from a doctor.

Easy answer: no. Long answer: malignant cancer can spread to other parts of the body. So if you have breast cancer (which is not uncommon in men) it could spread to your prostate or the other way round. So its not a stupid question. Get yourself checked out asap! PS: please tell me your a man?!? why do you call your chest "breasts"? you can have "breast cancer" in your chest even though your a man!

No. Women don't have prostates, do they? I do know this: When breast cancer metastasizes and goes to other parts of the body, it is still breast cancer cells that are growing in your bones, brain, and other parts. So, even if it's in your brain, it's still breast cancer, not brain cancer.
