Sorry to hear your news. Have you discussed options with your surgeon or doctor? Your penis is not your life. That would make you a very shallow person. It may be that life will be changed if there is no reconstructive surgery possible. There is much in life, however, that can bring you fulfillment. Have you looked for a support group? Here is one guy’s perspective: ihadcancer.com/h3-blog/08-1...

Wish you the best mate 👍🏽 hopefully you get the support you need

I Hope you can come to terms with what you have been through and can still be intimate in whatever way possible. It is not all about the sex.

Definitely look into the possibility of re-constructive Surgery.

I was diagnosed with possible Penile cancer, fortunately for me it was not. I bemoan the loss of my foreskin but it shows how lucky most of us on here really are. Foreskin or not.

Thank You Barina for sharing and Best Wishes.

You should look into the possibility of a penal transplant. They have done them here in the US and they have been successful from all I have heard. I think South Africa has done them as well. It seem to be a long process of finding the potential donor and getting approved since it just in the beginning stages of this. Probably very few doctors are trained in this procedure yet, but it will get more common as time goes on and the FDA doesn't continue their endless foot dragging on approving this procedure. I wish you the best.

So sorry, Barina. How did this happen ... and, specifically ... what early signs were missed of which other men should be cognizant ... ?
