Suspected Penile Cancer

I have been told by my GP i have suspected cancer due to finding a seemingly maligant growth. I am terrifed as the 2-4 week wait to be seen by a uroligist is going painfully slow. I am 31 y/o male and this has rocked me, I havnt told my family yet about the growth, but just im getting some tests done. I feel rotten as the GP's face told the whole story that this is bad news incoming, although he tried to reassure it may be something less sinister. But from his quickness to react and send me to a urgent referefal, I am fearing the worst! :sad:

  • Hi ansh1991,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I can understand this must be concerning, and I know the waiting and the uncertainty is never easy.

    Hopefully you won't have too long to wait for your appointment, although I know any wait will feel tough.

    I know it's easier said than done but try not to assume anything at this point - only the necessary tests will be able to tell you more.

    In the meantime, try to take things a day at a time and keep busy where possible to help keep your mind off the worries.

    We're always here for support if you need it. Wishing you all the best,
