Patients' stories
Rare tumors, like penile cancer, may suffer from issues of delayed diagnosis resulting in different outcomes in surgery, deeply impacting patients’ quality of life.
A better understanding of medical procedures is another goal, with the aim of minimizing variables between countries and doctors.
From my experience a supporting network will be beneficial to the patients, providing them with the possibility to share experiences and post-treatment limitations like lymphoedema, which is one of the biggest problems we encounter after node dissection, along with the social and mental challenges we can face daily.
