A man who had half of his penis removed after his cancer was misdiagnosed three times by doctors has been told he may only have a year to live. Dad-of-two Gavin Brooks, 45, said that despite having an operation to remove the cancerous tumour from his penis, he was given the news the cancer had spread and he may only have a year to live.
Now Gavin, who hopes to raise money to fund experimental treatment abroad, wants to warn other men of the little-known disease and encourage them to check their parts. He said: “I hope I can get some sort of treatment abroad that can help make the cancer smaller and make my lifespan longer so I can stay around as long as possible.
"My son Jorje says he's going to lift the World Cup one day and I want to be around for that.”
