<\/p>\n
A bloke nicknamed ‘Stumpy’ by pals after having half his penis removed due to cancer managed to become a dad – even after having four inches amputated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Steven Hamill feared the worst when he was originally diagnosed with penile cancer but after undergoing a partial penectomy he’s now in remission.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old said he was ‘really lucky’ that he was well-endowed before the op as he’s still able to have sex – even becoming a dad in 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Now, seven years on from his diagnosis, the single food industry worker admits he struggles when to reveal his medical history to a prospective partner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
He’s now sharing his story to encourage men to get anything unusual checked out straight away.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Steven, from Cheshire, said: “When I put in the lads’ group chat about my cancer diagnosis, one of them changed my nickname to Stumpy and I am still called this.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“I was rather well endowed beforehand so I’ve now been brought down to like the average, so around four inches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“I had four inches in full removed so it dropped me down to around four inches. So it [my penis] is still fully functional and working.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“I was really lucky that I was well endowed because if I was average I would have gone down to about one or two inches and that functionality isn’t really there anymore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“It changes from person to person when I tell dates about my surgery. Sometimes I make a joke about it instantly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“It’s never been an issue with anyone I’ve dated but it’s more me adapting and learning new things.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“It’s more me adapting as I’ve got a whole new tool to figure out how to function because it’s completely different.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“When it comes to intimacy, sometimes I get in my head and think ‘she’s going to think it [my penis] looks really weird’. I get self conscious all the time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“I was told I would never have kids because the surgery happened on my urethra, and I now have a four-year-old boy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“Everything is still functional and I can still have kids.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
At the age of just 26, Steven was diagnosed with penile cancer in April 2019 after suffering with excruciating pain, a swollen penis head and a ‘death’ smell coming from his privates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Steven claims his first warning sign was when he noticed the head of his penis had ballooned to four times its usual size.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
When he went to the doctors to get it checked out in March 2019, he claims it was dismissed as an infection called balanitis and was given steroid cream.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Over the next month, Steven says he began to experience a pain in his privates like someone ‘poking a needle into the end of his penis.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
He says he also developed a ‘death’ smell coming from his penis that ‘followed him around’ and that other people could smell.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
When he passed out in his brother’s car and woke up in a pool of blood, Steven was rushed to A&E.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
He was then transferred to a specialist unit at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester where he was diagnosed with penile cancer in April 2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
There, he underwent a circumcision before having ‘half’ of his penis removed before being told he was cancer free in July 2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Steven said: “I put steroid cream on it for two weeks solidly and there was no change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“I went back to the doctors two weeks later and he said it was definitely balanitis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“But by this point I was in so much pain. It felt like someone was poking a needle into the end of my penis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“The only way I could get a little bit of pain-free time was in the bathroom or I’d be rocking on the floor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“After this, the smell started. I would describe this smell as death. The smell followed me round and it was awful and other people could smell it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“I went back to the doctors. I had every sign and symptom of penile cancer and the doctor agreed but he said it ‘couldn’t be cancer’ as I was only 26.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Steven is now raising awareness of his diagnosis to urge men to get any unusual symptoms checked out as cancer can strike at any age.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Steven said: “It took me years to adapt because you put yourself in the darkest place ever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“Every time I went to bed I would think, ‘is this the night I’m going to die? Will I see next week? Should I make plans for next week?’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“I get phantom pain now and again, which makes me worry that it’s coming back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“I have vivid dreams about going through it all and being told I have cancer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“I think it was so much to go through in five months and it was such a rollercoaster of emotions it felt like years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“The best advice I could give would be if anything doesn’t feel right, don’t be embarrassed and see if it goes away. Reach out, even if it’s to me online, and I could guide you, but 100% reach out and don’t leave it too late.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
