third of his penis has said that despite the major transformation he’s been told by former lovers that they “still go there”.Joe Merrall, from Auckland in New Zealand, said he initially felt “less of a man” when surgeons removed the entire head of his penis and some of the shaft in mid-January after a shock penile cancer diagnosis two days before Christmas.Joe first noticed a small pea-sized lump on the left side of the head of his penis in August 2022 and booked a GP appointment a month later.READ MORE: Rampaging tiger mauls fisherman in bloody attack days after beast ate victim aliveA doctor told him to book a follow-up appointment if the cream Joe was given didn't clear up what was suspected to be thrush or an STI.But over the coming weeks, the lump 'engulfed' the head of his penis, covering the urethra and even spread down the shaft of his penis, causing him excruciating pain and trouble while urinating.He said: "I experienced every emotion known to man when I got the diagnosis."It was the worst timing and it sent me down a spiral."I bottled it all up, I didn't even want to go to the gym, I just thought 'what's the point?”, he said.The surgery took its toll on him, admitting that the doctors’ handiwork “looks weird”, adding: “My [urine] flow is all over the show.

I'm still adjusting but they may well tidy it up at some stage”.But after the 39-year-old raised his worries with exes and female friends, he was reassured when they commended him on his bravery for speaking about his experience, with some joking they’d “still go there”.Three weeks on from his life changing operation, Joe was relieved to be told he’ll be able to have sex again.Despite the good news, he now faces a worrying wait to see if the cancer has.
