I had to go for the exotic and bizarre as per usual my mother tells me. I'm hoping, just hoping that there's someone else that has been through what I'm about to go through )total penectomy with perineal urethrostomy) but from what I've found on line I'm in for an interesting journey.....

Tough enough gig to do cancer anyway, neverlone have nobody else close that has gone through what you have been or about to go through. If you don't find anyone on these boards I hope that it at least gives you some support to know that there are others travelling similar paths.

We all find ways to cope, mine is going to support groups, although I'm yet to meet someone in the same situation as me, talking to others really helps me. You seem to have a great attitude, keep it up, it rubs off on others Fri, 26 Oct 2012 10:21:41 GMT https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/I-ve-just-been-diagnosed/Hello-I-m-Alan-and-I-have-Penile-Cancer/m-p/10028#M701 docherty 2012-10-26T10:21:41Z
