Flomax, Avodart, and Proscar are the three most commonly prescribed for enlarged prostate (note NOT prostate cancer, which is a different disorder altogther). Of the three, Proscar is the only one available in a generic form, so it would probably be the most economical.
If you think you have an enlarged prostate, you need to see your doctor. You cannot determine for yourself whether you have prostate cancer. If you do have cancer, none of these drugs will help you.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is nonmalignant adenomatous overgrowth of the periurethral prostate gland. Symptoms are those of bladder outlet obstruction—urinary frequency, urgency, nocturia, hesitancy, incomplete emptying, terminal dribbling, overflow incontinence, or complete urinary retention. Diagnosis is based on digital rectal examination, cystoscopy, transrectal ultrasonography, or IVU. Treatment options include 5α-reductase inhibitors, α-blockers, and surgery.
Consult the Urologist.
Please see the web pages for more details on Benign Prostate Hyperplasia.
