Hi Mattocks and welcome to Cancer Chat,

I am sorry to hear about your husband’s diagnosis. Have you been told how long you will have to wait for the results of his pet scan? Don’t forget to tell the consultant about his back pain when you get your next appointment.

Please keep in touch and let us know how he gets on. We are here for both of you whenever you feel like talking.

Kind regards,

Hi Mattocks,  I was treated for penile cancer last year. Unlike your husband's case it was not very invasive and so far I have been lucky as the lymph nodes have remained clear. I am really sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis and treatment and yes, you must be very disappointed that it has spread to lymph nodes in the pelvis. Staying positive must indeed be a real struggle for you at the moment. Best of luck. Harry.

Hi [@Mattocks25]‍ 

I'm so sorry to hear about your husband, I'm aware it was a few years ago diagnosed but I was wondering how you both cope now? You mentioned he is 43, have you been able to have children together since? I'm so sorry to ask, I'm going through this too with my partner. He's 35 and been diagnosed with penile cancer, due to have a partial penectomy in a few weeks.. we just don't know what life will be like after.. whether our relationship will go back to normal(ish), whether we'll be able to have our own children. 
 

I hope you and your husband have gotten through it and you're fighting on!

Hi SL92

I'm so very sorry to hear of your partners cancer diagnosis, unfortunately my husband passed away we never had the chance to have children together we both had one from previous relationships, he had a partial penectomy, then had a full tbh they kept saying different things they were going to do, by the time they decided we were told it was terminal, we were both angry about things but then we had to stay strong we got together late in life and married for only 15 months he passed away at 43. What have they said to your partner has he got to have radiotherapy? I'm always here to talk kind regards
