[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] A British soldier found a strange ring growing around the foreskin of the penis, and there was even a wound at the tip of the penis; he was diagnosed with "penile cancer" after being transferred to a different doctor for treatment. Although half of the penis was removed, Cancer cells are still spreading throughout the body, and he believes that if caught early, there may be a chance for a full recovery.

According to comprehensive foreign media reports, the 45-year-old veteran Brooks (Gavin Brooks) found a ring on his penis and an unknown wound on the tip of his penis. He went to the military doctor for the first time in 2021.

After the initial visit, he was still not healed, so he went to the same medical facility where he was seen, but this time it was seen by another family doctor. For the disease caused, the family doctor only prescribed ointment and signed it to him, and then ended the consultation.

In the end, Brooks went to a sexual health clinic for a biopsy and found out that he had "penile cancer." The doctor removed half of Brooks' penis, removed the skin from his leg, and transplanted it into a new glans.

Despite the resection surgery, the cancer spread throughout his body and he is currently undergoing a second dose of chemotherapy.

Usually, the diagnosis of penile cancer is late. The early symptoms of cancer will start from the top of the penis, covered with raised plaques or white spots. At this stage, cancer cells can still be removed surgically, leaving the penis intact.

"If I'd been diagnosed with penile cancer earlier, maybe I'd have had a circumcision instead of half the penis. And there's a chance I wouldn't have had chemotherapy," Brooks said.

In order to raise men's awareness of penile cancer, he created a fan page on Instagram, hoping that men will pay more attention to their penis, check the penis regularly for abnormalities, and let more people know about penile cancer.
