Penile cancer... Need someone to talk to.

Hey guys,

I've recently been diagnosed with penile caner. I'm going for a second biopsy this Friday to find out what stage/type the cancer is. It's been really hard finding people to talk to about it so far, due to it being so rare. It's been even harder finding someone around my age (22) due to most cases being diagnosed in men that are over 40.

 

Any advice/help would be much appreciated.

    Hello, 

    I am so sorry to hear about this and you understandably are freightened and looking for answers. I have been on your jouney  - in 2014 i was diagnosed with penile cancer - i was 45 at the time. I can hopefully help and share my experience with you to help you through this  - mine was quite advanced and they did what they needed to do  - please ask away , nothing is taboo ,i know i am not quiet in my twenties but i was once.  

    please tell me which hospital are looking after you .
