"I've lost my virginity twice!"
In this episode of Honesty Box, penile cancer survivor Steve Hamill answers the questions people are often too afraid to ask about losing part of his penis to cancer.
Diagnosed at just 26 years old, Steve opens up about discovering his symptoms, receiving his diagnosis and undergoing life-changing surgery that involved the removal of four inches of his penis.
Steve discusses the physical and emotional impact of penile cancer, from recovering after surgery and adjusting to his body to navigating dating, relationships, sex and intimacy. He also shares how his diagnosis affected his mental health, how humour helped him through some of his darkest moments and what life is really like after penile cancer treatment.
Speaking candidly about men's health, cancer symptoms, body image and life after cancer, Steve hopes to break the stigma surrounding penile cancer and encourage more men to recognise the warning signs and seek medical advice.
