No One knows. The reason people have been only hearing about it more and more in the recent past is because before then it could not be identified as cancer.

Can prostate cancer go into remission?

It is possible. In a small number of cases, terminal cancer has been known to go into remission. I have met one such survivor of breast cancer who was told she had only months to live. She began doing every thing she could possibly find to fight the cancer, including but not limited to medical experimental drugs and treatments, and also some unorthodox eastern medicine treatments such as acupuncture. She also began to alkaline (make acidic) her body, using citric acid from lemons and other fruits. She had a positive outlook and believed she could defeat it, and did. This was ten years ago, and to date there is no trace of cancer left in her body.

What are the symptoms that a person will experience with cancer and how long will it be until the symptoms appear?

I wish I could help you more with this question, but the only honest answer is that nobody can answer this question. Cancer is still a pretty mysterious thing and cancer effects people SO differently. My father had bladder cancer and didn't know it until it nicked a artery and he began peeing blood. I had cervical cancer and didn't even know anything was wrong with me, and others are painful symptoms. Each person is different, every cancer is different, so talk to your doctor and screening for many cancer is simple and a smart idea.
