If you’re in the UK this documentary is on iPlayer. It follows a very brave man through penile cancer surgery, definitely not an easy watch if you’re squeamish but showed what was involved and why surgery can take such a long time, he was in theatre for 7 hours.

Also showed how good the urology surgeons are.

We are all different but the concerning part for me was that the patient’s cancer may return, having had sentinel node biopsy and being told the cancer hadn’t spread I am now just a bit anxious that the way ahead may not be so clear. Had a CT scan two weeks ago and have a follow up in June.
