  • Hi Nikol and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I noticed you have posted in our nurses section of the forum so I just wanted to let you know that our cancer nurses are not working over Christmas and won't be picking up any posts until Friday 27th December.

    We know it's tricky to get help over the festive period but if this issue doesn't improve, or gets worse, we would recommend seeking medical advice from either your cancer team - hopefully they have given you a number you can call for out of hours help - or through the NHS on 111. 

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

  • Hello and thank you for posting.

    I am afraid I do not know what the area on the end of your penis may be caused by. If you are concerned I would suggest telling your GP, specialist, or specialist nurse (CNS) about it as they can review and decide if further investigation is needed.

    Take care and if you want to talk to the nurses on the helpline the number is 0808 800 4040. Lines are open Mon-Fri, 9-5.

    Sarah.
