After months of discomfort plucked up courage to visit GP with my problems. First referral was to the Sexual Health Services, a bit unexpected as a 40 year married man who is 100% faithful.
On the second visit to the clinic saw a specialist doctor who was concerned about one of the ulcers, I was then referred to Urology for an urgent appointment.
so far, had surgery to remove one ulcer and a biopsy on the other. The removed ulcer has come back as cancerous the other pre-cancerous.
Next, had a full torso CT scan which the consultant says is clear. Following this I’ve had Sentinel Node Surgery and biopsy last week and am now waiting for the results to see if it has spread.
The wounds are bigger than I expected, seem to be healing OK, just really frustrating having to sit and wait.
All quite a shock as I was expecting the doctor to just prescribe some ointment and that would have been the end of the problem.
