Penile Cancer- the unspoken disease
Posted , 3 users are following.
I have now been clear of Penile cancer for 2 yaesr. It is rare and little known cancer, despite efforts of Orchid, for example to raise awareness.For a man it is a devastating diagnosis. I am preparing to launch a " buddy " website to offer support and encouragement to newly diagnosed patients. Its a scary but treatable cancer and affecting roughly 1 in 100,000 men but on the increase. Testicular and Prostrate cancerrs are the celebrities but this one is the fearsome unpsoken one. Its time to get it out there. Do you want to help ?

I wanted to be a doctor so have lots of medical understanding but am amazed at how stigmatised this disease is. If a woman says she has breast cancer suddenly she is inundated with love and support but for a man with penile cancer.......? So I applaud you for bringing this out to the public and I do hope you get lots of men (and women who wish to support) signing up for your buddy website.
All the very best for your healthy future!

my day of reckoning after the event, and he sat there like a broken man. If I had listended to him, I would not be here to write this.I now work with Orchid, the male cancer charity to try and implement a mentoring scheme, something which wasnt available to me . Its great to have your response. Thank you.
