Prostate Cancer concerns

Hi, a couple of weeks ago my husband became very unwell with a urine infection. The infection was treated with antibiotics from the out of hours GP at our local hospital . Ever since the infection my husband has been frequently getting up in the night and I am wondering if prostate cancer can cause a UTI or vice versa as he was perfectly fine before the infection ?  My husband has an appointment booked with his GP for next week .

I am feeling very worried about him, he is sixty tomorrow

Thanks

    I can't really say to much about uti, but I've been living with prostate cancer over 6 years and never had uti, hoping others will reply. Never had trouble at night till started treatment, where my wife has regular journeys to toilet and gets uti with being incontinent. Don't know if this helps. Not everyone is same.

    Thank's very much for your response. It just seems very strange that my husband had no urinary symptoms untill he had a uti a couple of weeks ago, he hasn't felt quite right since and yesterday he developed a fever so went to docs and it seems he has another infection, (or maybe the first one didn't clear up completely with the antibiotics) so on more antibiotics.

    He has an appointment next week with the doc for prostate check so i guess we will no more then.
