thing going ok because im unable to work i didn't have to pay a court fee, he has been served with a notice to pay within a certain amount of days or contest it, then next stage is a judgement is made against him...............
My step dad dave has been home for 2 weeks now he had a 3/4 penilectomy he goes back to see specialist tomorrow to check his wound and take stiches out will they tell him then if his cancer has spread or not or would they have told him it had when he was in only he only saw the surgeon once and another bdoc once nurses could nt tell us anything xx

Fingers crossed for good news on both fronts hon xx

I would think they would have done a biopsy and they wont tell him anything until they get the result of that. It can sometimes take several weeks I believe.

thanks muffy xx
ann would that be on another site other than where the cancer was ? xx

Hope your Step dad has good news,
and l hope all goes well for you with the court. x

thanks mummo , he is considering not going and thinks he has got the all clear anyway his skin graft is healing he is accustomed to other needs, ive really got my work cut out tomorrow by getting him to go, mother opts for the flight and not fight xx

They usually biopsy the tissue removed from the site of the operation during the operation ..... they need to make sure that they have removed all of the cancerous tissue, so there would have been a quick and dirty "look see" by a pathologist at the time of the operation.

This would have helped to decide whether he had a 1/4, 1/2 or 3/4 penilectomy.

THEN a more careful study would have been done in the days following

They may well have also taken one or more lymph glands from the groin area at the same time to examine those to see if the cancerous cells hadbegun to move away from the original site.


All of this will be explained to him at the appointment tomorrow

As will the need for any follow-up treatment .... such as chemo or radiation.


He is NOT cured until the specialist tells him so.




He MUST go to that appointment!
