    I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Getting cancer diagnosis is overwhelming. Take it one day at a time and be positive about the treatment. Sending you positive wibes and lots of patience and courage. Hang in there. It is never as bad as we first believe it to be! Keep us posted.

    Hi, 

    Any cancer diagnosis is hard to get your head around, I can only imagine how a penile cancer diagnosis feels.

    I can only repeat take it one day and step at a time. Concentrate on saving your life to start with and worry about the effects the surgery will have and follow up reconstructive surgery later.
     

    Just be aware that there are options and don't give up on hope. You've probably read this but here's a link in case you haven't www.cancerresearchuk.org/.../sex-relationships

    Good luck!
