Morning all, just wondered if anyone had any experience of recovery times, issues etc I am waiting s surgery date after having two operations already and now it’s a partial penectomy but they are also doing the Sentinel lymph node surgery on my ground at the same time 
I am 60 so taking it in my stride but need to know what I am facing from people who have been through

thanks Ian 

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet so replying to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list where it'll be easier to spot.

    While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

  • Hi Ian, cant help with partial as I had a full penectomy and bi lateral lymph nodes at the same time.  Is OK to send you a message with details of a group whom will have  experience of this exact treatment?  

  • Yes please, thanks Dave
