This is a MAN right here. Honest, vulnerable, helping people. He might feel as if he’s lost his masculinity, but in my eyes, he’s a shining example of masculinity at its best.
Love for your wife can also be shown in other ways, a cuddle in bed, talking to each other, that is love. much strength and thanks for your testimony, ❤
@@jensingerlady… Wonderful!! You said what I was thinking. He is alive. He has a wife that loves him through thick and thin times. He is a hero for honestly sharing his intimate situation with all of us. He is a warrior!! He will help men because he shared his cancer in a vulnerable way. You are a wonderful and strong man. Your story will help lots of men. Sincerely, Laura from New Hampshire USA
A neighbour of mine had his penis amputated due to cancer. It was a terrible time watching his mental health decline. He has now sadly passed away after a massive heart attack. RIP Barry. Still remembering you mate.
Of course his mental health declined! WTF why are we not getting at least reconstructive surgery for these men… wait that’s right they’re MEN! They should be on the front lines dying in battle and pay out their entire lives for “women” taking their $! Who cares about them when there’s so many other people with “problems” more important….
A friend of mine lost his penis and testicles too, and eventually just had what was left changed into a proto-vagina. There was enough tissue there to at least allow him some sensation. He’s still a man, but now he has female genitalia. He has to take hormones though for the rest of his life.
Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, OR USA has specialty surgeons that can rebuild the genitals into a neophallus. It is a penis made from forearm tissue, usually. It's not exactly the same as a regular penis, but it's made from the body's own tissue so there is no need to take immune suppressants and the neophallus does have sensation. A device can also be used to create an erection so it can be used for that function. There are other doctors that can perform this difficult series of operations but I'm most familiar with the OHSU team.
Have absolutely no idea how i landed on this video BUT I did watch it and I have nothing but huge respect for you and your wife. You are way more man than most men I know.
@cherylkoski7184 I mean they didn't say happy. She's probably not necessarily "happy", same with him, but they said loyal and moving forward which is what they both should do. All while trying to find someone who can rebuild the penis like he mentioned and getting therapy. I sure wouldn't be happy in this situation, either. But you deal with it and move on as best as you can. At least she is still with him and they're working through it together like they should be.
@@cherylkoski7184did you expect her to be laughing and smiling while discussing her husband's traumatic medical event? Honestly, try and think before you comment.
In 2020 i had a radical hysterectomy for cancer. Even though it didn't change the outer appearance, it still screws up your mental condition. I can't even imagine how hard this is for this man.
I had to have a hysterectomy at 29 due to some serious issues and I can relate to your pain my sister, it does something to you for sure. I've had a lot of mental health problems since and I also started menopause before I was 40. I'm 44 now and it's been 15 years since my surgery but I still suffer from hormonal issues and have many mental diagnosis. I wish nothing but the best for you and this wonderful man, don't ever let this define who you really are ❤🙏🏼💪🏼
I was 38 and hadn’t been married quite a year when I went thru uterine cancer. COMPLETE hysterectomy, I was so afraid my new husband wouldn’t want me. We’ve been married nearly 25 years and I love him even more after he helped me heal. BEST man I’ve ever known. This man’s wife loves him,too, I’m SURE of it!
As a woman I wish there was a lot more education/discussion about hysterectomies and what all the procedure and aftermath entails. I feel very much in the dark still about this subject. It seems this medical intervention is a lot more common than people are aware of, there have to be countless women who had never heard of one until they themselves had to get one.
Yeah, I totally understand him not going back to the doctors for a reconstruction because he's scared of the doctors now! Great couple ❤ It's great they're speaking out.
For real though. I avoid past ddoctors myself and refuse to speak with them and instead have to deal with the nurses because my insurance doesn't have another specialist who's accepting patients. So I said, nurse so and so, or I don't see anyone due to medical trauma. So yea. I get that fully. Poor dude wouldn't even go back if he had an option in the UK. But I really hope some doctor in the world sees this and reaches out.
They said in the video that he can’t get a reconstruction, he had to have too much removed due to the extent/aggressiveness of his cancer. It sounds like what he needs is psychological help to accept the current state of his body. Also, a tube that is skin coloured instead of bright purple could help him to function in public bathrooms better.
@Isabelle-ox7go , what a pathetic, horrible, mean POS thing to say. You should be extremely ashamed of yourself. I hope you remember this tacky vile comment you've made when lifes challenges come your way!
In the march of this year I also had cancer of the penis and it was amputated. The most frustrating thing is to have to keep a bottle to urinate into. Very difficult to be in men's company. I am single and will stay stay this way. At 61
I am sooo sorry that he ever had to suffer a day. Soo much love and support, what a honest, good ,humble real man , with a precious beautiful wife. Much respect sir.. ❤
No one should have to go through something like this alone, much less anything else it's sad what people's beliefs, behavior, morals and values have become, but there are still some good ones too, choose wisely we all get to an age of accountability and it's about time for accountability, just my opinion ..... God bless all !!!! ❤️✌️

@@Neontrifleif the cancer had only been the balls and not the penis there is high probability he would have had function after an orchiectomy and hormone therapy despite having cancer.

I wish more men were this open and vulnerable. Perhaps it would help countless relationships. That's usually all we women want is total transparency, honesty, and vulnerability. Hats off to you, sir. Im so sorry you went through this, but how amazing you 2 are still together and your life was spared. I have a fun idea for the bedroom, get some fun toys together
He is so brave to come on camera and tell his story. There is so little awareness of this awful cancer. ❤ what a lovely couple - I wish them all the best . Can’t help but think that some reconstruction should be possible - after all they can do this for trans people.
There most certainly is, but he doesn't even want to ask because of all the trauma he's been through, and it's still painful down there, right now, he's afraid to go back under the knife.
My thoughts exactly. They both should be having counselling both on their own and together. I really hope he can to a point where he can get a reconstruction as it's something trans people can have. He is such an amazing brave man. He's not at fault for not wanting to have an op but fingers crossed one day things change for them xx
Well done for having the courage to speak about such personal information 👏 as a breast cancer survivor that wasn't able to get reconstruction surgery. I can understand first hand how it impacts your mental health. It makes it easier having a rock like your wife by your side, good luck for the future.
This couple is wonderful. They are there for each other through thick and then and I really admire them for it. He's got nothing to be ashamed about. Stuff happens in life. You just adjust to whatever happens. They still have each other, and that's what's most important.
Brave man, Craig. You are helping others so much by sharing your story. I'm sorry that there was no one for you to speak to and the care after your operation was very lacking. I can only imagine the physical and psychological problems you have faced.
You are 100% a full man. Life and love isn't about our body parts. Its about who we are on the inside and how we show that love from our hearts. God bless this lovely couple. You are beautiful in all ways. ❤
Craig, you are saving LIVES! I hope you know, by sharing your story so courageously, you are gaining a much greater purpose than what you thought that your destiny would ever have imagined for you, and something GREAT will be in store for you because of it.
You are more of a man than loads of men who rely on their physical appearance or money to attract the women out there. Thanks for being so open and vulnerable! ❤
You are alive, seen another day is a blessing, next to your loved ones, after my surgery last year, after suffering for 3 years, they couldn't find out what was causing my horrible pains, couldn't even walk, I was and am thankfull that I found a doctor and found out, got my surgery 3 weeks later, I have a lot recovering to do still, but I am alive, thankfull for each day ❤ keep on going through this life walking with love.
What a strong couple to come forward and share something so incredibly personal. Thank you for sharing, you have no idea how many people might be saved from you coming forward. Breast cancer and penis cancer change so much more than just your physical appearance. Wishing you good health.
My sincere heartfelt thoughts to you, and yr wife, even though you have lost yr manhood, and all of the loss, heartache, and trauma you have experienced and still are, do you realise what you've shared is the most bravest thing, I've ever heard, you are a MAN TEN FOLD, you may not feel it , but from where all of us watching and listening, YOU ARE, A MAN'S MAN. 100%, I do not know where you go from here, but I can tell you, you have made a difference, in your loss, and suffering, other men, who have had that same opportunity and outcome, will be helped by you, and your story, God bless you, and your wife, ❤❤❤
Oh good heavens….you were left to cope alone! So sorry you had to experience and endure such terrible medical lack! You deserved psychological therapy to get through this, anyone would! May better days come to you both! Nothing is your fault….Wishing you two the best!
I wish all the best for you both! You are the epitome of masculinity Craig, you have such strength and I know you will help so many people sharing your story 👏
Thank you for sharing your story. It takes a strong person to share such a sensitive topic with the public. I’m so glad that you have your wife by your side and you’re still here with us. Such a genuine fella. ❤
My lord , 2024, And a doctor cant repair this gentleman ! I honestly cant see nothing good in this day & age . Except unconditional love , God bless you both
Brave couple!!!! I hope they get the mental health help that they both deserve, individually and as a couple. Don't give up hope. It can get better with hard work and help!
That’s so sad but he’s so brave to share his story and experience of what he went through and to prove that it’s not the end of the world. I really admire him and if this story helps someone who might be going through the same including me one day if it comes to loosing my penis or someone else then it’s been worth sharing this video online, thank you and I wish him and his loyal wife all the best for the future.
I think-even though his circumstances are very different-the end result of the trauma and the feeling of disconnection from the expression of your own sexuality, makes me think about women who’ve undergone FGM. I think maybe looking at how people with experiences similar to his own are coping might help him. He seems resigned but very sad about his situation and it would be wonderful if he managed to find zest for life again.
There has to be a surgeon in this world with a kind heart that will help this man somewhere! I'm a woman and I am having sympathy pain! Also why the hell did they make the hose purple?! Dead wrong for that!
I got a feeling he did not have the opportunity of the best options in the medical world. Hose colours may have multiple reasons. ( Atlets and drugs , sterilizable material, codes)
@@tpilot_error404it was so unfortunate that this also occurred at the same time as the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. They needed to discharge as many people as possible from the hospitals because they were starting to fill up with sick patients! 😢
No. That was a lie. I went to the hospitals during that time and they were always empty af. They looked like Abandoned hospitals(AbbaDon) like exactly what it says in the Bible. @@michby[The Bible verse that mentions Abaddon is Revelation 9:11, which states: "They had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek is Apollyon". Abaddon is described as the angel of the Abyss and the "Destroyer". He is also the king of a plague of locusts that torment people for five months.] Abbandoned is the same thing as Desolation. [The Bible verse that mentions the abomination of desolation is Matthew 24:15, which states, "So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place, then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains". The term "abomination of desolation" refers to a significant violation of the covenant, especially idolatry. Some interpret it as the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem, which would be considered sacrilegious. The abomination of desolation is also mentioned in Mark 13:14 and Daniel 11:31. In Daniel 11:31, it refers to the army taking over the Temple fortress, polluting the sanctuary, and stopping the daily sacrifices.] The name 'Biden' is also 'Bisexual Den', Bi-den. Den of thieves. [The Bible verse that mentions a den of thieves is Matthew 21:13, which says, "It is written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a den of thieves". ] The Bible states Biden will hurt the people for 5 months because eventhough election ends in November, the presidents don't move into the Whitehouse until January of the next year which this year is 202[5].[When is Inauguration Day? Inauguration Day occurs every four years on January 20 (or January 21 if January 20 falls on a Sunday).] That is when DONald Trumpet🎺 will go back into office.
Thank you for being so brave and strong and sharing your story Craig. It is so important to share awareness about such rare types of cancer and hopefully this will help more men !
What a remarkable couple you are. Thank you for being so candid and sharing what has been a very traumatic and private experience. You have been through a type of bereavement. You are far more of a man than many I can name. There is a reason why God saved you twice…..and you are living that reason….by sharing your story so that this may help others xx Thank you both 🙏
Thank you very much for sharing your story, Craig. You're very brave. I hope you reach a point where you can be more open with Claire. Sending you prayers.
❤ healing and peace of mind to this man. What a story. I love that she mentioned how she doesn't even know how to go in for a cuddle and he acknowledged it and said that that would be possible ❤❤❤❤ sex really isnt everything. Its not what keeps real love together. But a cuddle can do wonders.
Thank you for sharing your story Craig. I was deeply touched by your experience and am so sorry you had to go through this during the pandemic. Can’t imagine the sense of loneliness you must have felt but goes to show just how resilient you are to keep moving forward. So very happy that your wife is by your side every step of the way. I hope you continue to share and be a voice for men around the world in the same circumstance, there is so much value in it.
I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. I’m so proud of you for sharing your story with us. I don’t feel that you’re any less of a man, it takes a real man to go through what you’ve been through. I really hope you continue to heal physically, mentally and emotionally. You deserve a good life.
Being able to talk about something as personal as this, and traumatic, would be so hard to get around all rhe different thoughts you get, . Kudos to both of you for having the strength to still be there and supporting each other, and now, brave enough to take this step of coming out and taking about it.
Thank you for being brave and sharing your story. It touched my older sons. They said that knowing that for men sharing a traumatic experience and being vulnerable is ok and it should be done more often.
I have such respect and admiration for this man and his lovely wife. I too had cancer years ago, with complications, so I lost more than anticipated. I can therefore understand deeply the shock and pain that Craig is still going through. He is incredibly courageous, and I so hope with time, that he understands he is more of a man for this bravery than any surgery could take away. Sending both Craig and Colette so much love and respect, and hope that one day soon you will also find peace. God bless you both xoxo
I’ve been married for 22 years and can honestly say I wouldn’t be bothered if this were our situation whatsoever. Absolutely never let a doctor rush your mental health recovery - especially with a supportive partner by your side. You’re a wonderful couple and I wish the best for your future together. 🖤
God bless you Craig and Colette you are a very strong MAN for coming out and talking about this and telling your story, your a bigger man than a lot of other men could be especially for being able to sit in front of a camera and tell your story, i do feel you have been let down by some professionals after you had the surgery but i hope now after you speaking out that everything comes in to place and that you will get the help and support that you need professionally, but having a wife and a rock like Colette is amazing and i wish you both nothing but happiness and love for the rest of your life together and i do hope that some how there is a way that you can get what you want with the penis rebuilding or something that will make you feel more comfortable etc but honestly may god bless the both of you in the next journey of your life together.

Came here totally accidentally. What a story... Keep being as strong as you both are. I feel for you. Thank you for this wonderful idea to share it with others. It might help others in many ways. Pain will go away and hopefully you'll get adjusted to a discomfort. ❤❤❤
God bless you sir thank you for sharing so we can all become aware of this terrible situation you shared information that has stigma attached. And I will be sharing this with every man I know your video will definitely save lives ❤❤❤Australian 😊 you are erasing the stigma and get the conversation started. You are an amazing man
God. This poor man. Thank you for your bravery and speaking up, sharing your story. You have nothing to be ashamed of, and you're just as much of a man as any other. Much love. Good wife.
That particular cancer is one of the worst ways to go. The tumor invades into the groin and lymph nodes, metastasizes to other parts of the body. The lesion becomes a horrifying mass in that area and sometimes autoamputates. Their genitals fall off.
My heart goes out to both of you. It takes a lot of strength to talk about something so deeply personal and painful. I admire you both for standing together through this with your marriage intact. Wishing you both the best.
wow what a man. He is brave and definitely a man he's a real man. What a beautiful couple. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story thank you for setting an example and standing together. God bless you give you strength and peace.
The way the doctors treated him (if you even want to call it that) is nothing short of medical abuse and malpractice. The sheer emotional and informational consent issue ALONE should have this man rolling in dough for the rest of his natural life. Utterly unacceptable.
Just curious why do you think it’s medical malpractice? I can’t make a judgment on that because I don’t have enough proof to know if they did the procedure correctly or not
The primary focus was on removing the cancer. It would have been a form of skin cancer, which can easily spread. It's interesting that he was given an epidural instead of a general anaesthetic, as that isn't normal; so it's reasonable to assume that he has other serious health issues which might limit what kind of reconstitution is possible.
This is a MAN right here. Honest, vulnerable, helping people. He might feel as if he’s lost his masculinity, but in my eyes, he’s a shining example of masculinity at its best.
Beautifully said, I agree fully.
Damn right
YES!!!! You don't need a penis to be a man, and a penis doesn't make a man.
Totally agree I can’t imagine the amount of people he’s helped ❤
Love for your wife can also be shown in other ways, a cuddle in bed, talking to each other, that is love. much strength and thanks for your testimony, ❤
Don’t be disgusted, you are alive, you are brave, your wife loves you, you are a survivor and an inspiration.

This couple is wonderful. They are there for each other through thick and then and I really admire them for it. He's got nothing to be ashamed about. Stuff happens in life. You just adjust to whatever happens. They still have each other, and that's what's most important.
What an inspiration. He is helping more people than he will ever realize by telling his story.
The love is so strong between these two. It’s a real benchmark of a solid relationship. I wish you all the best in your continued recovery xx
Brave man, Craig. You are helping others so much by sharing your story. I'm sorry that there was no one for you to speak to and the care after your operation was very lacking. I can only imagine the physical and psychological problems you have faced.
The fact that she is still married to him speaks volumes. There's a lot of love and respect ❤❤. Life does go on, they have each other
You are 100% a full man. Life and love isn't about our body parts.
Its about who we are on the inside and how we show that love from our hearts. God bless this lovely couple. You are beautiful in all ways. ❤
Craig, you are saving LIVES!
I hope you know, by sharing your story so courageously, you are gaining a much greater purpose than what you thought that your destiny would ever have imagined for you, and something GREAT will be in store for you because of it.
Yesss he saving lives! 😢
You are more of a man than loads of men who rely on their physical appearance or money to attract the women out there. Thanks for being so open and vulnerable! ❤
Very strong man for sharing his story. It will help a lot of people.
How? It will happen and bad rate I read ? Not like Breast cancer
You are alive, seen another day is a blessing, next to your loved ones, after my surgery last year, after suffering for 3 years, they couldn't find out what was causing my horrible pains, couldn't even walk, I was and am thankfull that I found a doctor and found out, got my surgery 3 weeks later, I have a lot recovering to do still, but I am alive, thankfull for each day ❤ keep on going through this life walking with love.
What a strong couple to come forward and share something so incredibly personal. Thank you for sharing, you have no idea how many people might be saved from you coming forward.
Breast cancer and penis cancer change so much more than just your physical appearance. Wishing you good health.
He's more of a man than any other. I really hope he is in therapy, lots of therapy. I wish them the best, his wife is amazing too.
My sincere heartfelt thoughts to you, and yr wife, even though you have lost yr manhood, and all of the loss, heartache, and trauma you have experienced and still are, do you realise what you've shared is the most bravest thing, I've ever heard, you are a MAN TEN FOLD, you may not feel it , but from where all of us watching and listening, YOU ARE, A MAN'S MAN. 100%, I do not know where you go from here, but I can tell you, you have made a difference, in your loss, and suffering, other men, who have had that same opportunity and outcome, will be helped by you, and your story, God bless you, and your wife, ❤❤❤
Well done for speaking up, it cant have been easy
Oh good heavens….you were left to cope alone! So sorry you had to experience and endure such terrible medical lack! You deserved psychological therapy to get through this, anyone would! May better days come to you both!
Nothing is your fault….Wishing you two the best!
Thanks you so much for shining a light on this cancer which is never talked about !
What courage! Bless them both.Hes a hero for coming forth with his story.
Such a brave man and such a brave woman, they support each other so well. Testament to a good relationship
I wish all the best for you both! You are the epitome of masculinity Craig, you have such strength and I know you will help so many people sharing your story 👏
Thank you for sharing your story. It takes a strong person to share such a sensitive topic with the public. I’m so glad that you have your wife by your side and you’re still here with us. Such a genuine fella. ❤
He is a brave man. He speaks for so many people.
What a very brave man. I find it impossible that he had no proper counselling. What a wonderful couple.
This man is helping to reach others who may be in his position or who know of someone who is.❤
Wow! You are fortunate to have each other and demonstrate the meaning of unconditional love. Not everyone gets that in a lifetime.
My lord , 2024, And a doctor cant repair this gentleman ! I honestly cant see nothing good in this day & age . Except unconditional love , God bless you both
Exactly what I was thinking, this is so sad.
Brave couple!!!! I hope they get the mental health help that they both deserve, individually and as a couple. Don't give up hope. It can get better with hard work and help!
That’s so sad but he’s so brave to share his story and experience of what he went through and to prove that it’s not the end of the world. I really admire him and if this story helps someone who might be going through the same including me one day if it comes to loosing my penis or someone else then it’s been worth sharing this video online, thank you and I wish him and his loyal wife all the best for the future.
Nothing to be embarrassed about. You are a brave amazing man
He has my heartfelt sympathy and my deepest admiration.
I think-even though his circumstances are very different-the end result of the trauma and the feeling of disconnection from the expression of your own sexuality, makes me think about women who’ve undergone FGM.
I think maybe looking at how people with experiences similar to his own are coping might help him. He seems resigned but very sad about his situation and it would be wonderful if he managed to find zest for life again.
Much respect and appreciation for this man's bravery, willingness, and honesty.
There has to be a surgeon in this world with a kind heart that will help this man somewhere! I'm a woman and I am having sympathy pain! Also why the hell did they make the hose purple?! Dead wrong for that!
I got a feeling he did not have the opportunity of the best options in the medical world.
Hose colours may have multiple reasons. ( Atlets and drugs , sterilizable material, codes)
@@tpilot_error404it was so unfortunate that this also occurred at the same time as the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. They needed to discharge as many people as possible from the hospitals because they were starting to fill up with sick patients! 😢
No. That was a lie. I went to the hospitals during that time and they were always empty af. They looked like Abandoned hospitals(AbbaDon) like exactly what it says in the Bible. @@michby[The Bible verse that mentions Abaddon is Revelation 9:11, which states: "They had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek is Apollyon".
Abaddon is described as the angel of the Abyss and the "Destroyer". He is also the king of a plague of locusts that torment people for five months.] Abbandoned is the same thing as Desolation. [The Bible verse that mentions the abomination of desolation is Matthew 24:15, which states, "So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place, then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains".
The term "abomination of desolation" refers to a significant violation of the covenant, especially idolatry. Some interpret it as the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem, which would be considered sacrilegious.
The abomination of desolation is also mentioned in Mark 13:14 and Daniel 11:31. In Daniel 11:31, it refers to the army taking over the Temple fortress, polluting the sanctuary, and stopping the daily sacrifices.] The name 'Biden' is also 'Bisexual Den', Bi-den. Den of thieves. [The Bible verse that mentions a den of thieves is Matthew 21:13, which says, "It is written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a den of thieves". ] The Bible states Biden will hurt the people for 5 months because eventhough election ends in November, the presidents don't move into the Whitehouse until January of the next year which this year is 202[5].[When is Inauguration Day? Inauguration Day occurs every four years on January 20 (or January 21 if January 20 falls on a Sunday).] That is when DONald Trumpet🎺 will go back into office.
@solangelalebron1348 I was also in the hospital during Covid and it was packed.
Sorry for your delusional illness.
@@Stopthisrightnow560 I guess you must live in a different realm, of the Underworld. The Righteous didn't see any of that mess.
I am sorry that this happened to you, but grateful you are alive.
What a lovely couple. This man’s bravery will help a countless number of men and women. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you😢 XX
Thank you for being so brave and strong and sharing your story Craig. It is so important to share awareness about such rare types of cancer and hopefully this will help more men !
What a remarkable couple you are. Thank you for being so candid and sharing what has been a very traumatic and private experience. You have been through a type of bereavement. You are far more of a man than many I can name. There is a reason why God saved you twice…..and you are living that reason….by sharing your story so that this may help others xx Thank you both 🙏
You’re a strong fighter!! Everything will be okay you’re here to love each other and spread the love keep cuddling!!
Very sad situation for any man
Thank you very much for sharing your story, Craig. You're very brave. I hope you reach a point where you can be more open with Claire. Sending you prayers.
What a True Power Couple! Love it! ❤👍🏽
❤ healing and peace of mind to this man. What a story. I love that she mentioned how she doesn't even know how to go in for a cuddle and he acknowledged it and said that that would be possible ❤❤❤❤ sex really isnt everything. Its not what keeps real love together. But a cuddle can do wonders.
Thank you for sharing your story Craig. I was deeply touched by your experience and am so sorry you had to go through this during the pandemic. Can’t imagine the sense of loneliness you must have felt but goes to show just how resilient you are to keep moving forward. So very happy that your wife is by your side every step of the way. I hope you continue to share and be a voice for men around the world in the same circumstance, there is so much value in it.
You are amazing. Bless your heart, and bless your sweet wife.
Well done for being so open . A rare lifeline for some guy in same position
I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. I’m so proud of you for sharing your story with us. I don’t feel that you’re any less of a man, it takes a real man to go through what you’ve been through. I really hope you continue to heal physically, mentally and emotionally. You deserve a good life.
I am thankful you are alive such a nice man❤
Wow. This is incredible. This couple is completely amazing!!!! We’re all praying for you guys !!!!keep each other strong and patient❤
God bless this man! Thank you for being strong and sharing your story. It is very important for everyone to learn about this type of cancer.
Poor guy 48 hours out so sad I’m so sorry praying for both of them , thank you for sharing 😢😢❤❤❤❤❤
Why are you sad? A lot of woman want a man like him
Being able to talk about something as personal as this, and traumatic, would be so hard to get around all rhe different thoughts you get, . Kudos to both of you for having the strength to still be there and supporting each other, and now, brave enough to take this step of coming out and taking about it.
Thank you for being brave and sharing your story. It touched my older sons. They said that knowing that for men sharing a traumatic experience and being vulnerable is ok and it should be done more often.
Poor guy. So brave to share his story. Keep your head up! You have so many that love you especially your wife.
Sir....your a very brave man...more than many
I have such respect and admiration for this man and his lovely wife. I too had cancer years ago, with complications, so I lost more than anticipated. I can therefore understand deeply the shock and pain that Craig is still going through. He is incredibly courageous, and I so hope with time, that he understands he is more of a man for this bravery than any surgery could take away. Sending both Craig and Colette so much love and respect, and hope that one day soon you will also find peace. God bless you both xoxo
I’ve been married for 22 years and can honestly say I wouldn’t be bothered if this were our situation whatsoever. Absolutely never let a doctor rush your mental health recovery - especially with a supportive partner by your side. You’re a wonderful couple and I wish the best for your future together. 🖤
God bless you Craig and Colette you are a very strong MAN for coming out and talking about this and telling your story, your a bigger man than a lot of other men could be especially for being able to sit in front of a camera and tell your story, i do feel you have been let down by some professionals after you had the surgery but i hope now after you speaking out that everything comes in to place and that you will get the help and support that you need professionally, but having a wife and a rock like Colette is amazing and i wish you both nothing but happiness and love for the rest of your life together and i do hope that some how there is a way that you can get what you want with the penis rebuilding or something that will make you feel more comfortable etc but honestly may god bless the both of you in the next journey of your life together.

I'm so happy he and his wife are still together. My heart breaks for him. You are so brave and strong, God bless you both💓💓
You’re both so strong and incredible. You are not disgusting and you are not weak.
Came here totally accidentally. What a story... Keep being as strong as you both are. I feel for you. Thank you for this wonderful idea to share it with others. It might help others in many ways. Pain will go away and hopefully you'll get adjusted to a discomfort. ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing ao vulnerably. My heart goes out to you. I wish you all the care and support that you need. God bless you both.
My heart goes out to both of you.
God bless you sir thank you for sharing so we can all become aware of this terrible situation you shared information that has stigma attached. And I will be sharing this with every man I know your video will definitely save lives ❤❤❤Australian 😊 you are erasing the stigma and get the conversation started. You are an amazing man
Mad credits to both of these two. I can't imagine. My father had prostate cancer, and it put him through hell. I wish nothing but the best you guys.
Amazing strength and bravery in sharing your story. You are a couple that truly inspires.
I am so sorry for all the pain and heartache this couple have gone through. Very brave for this gentleman to share his story.
Thank you so much for sharing and enlightening us all. You are truly so strong and brave. Hats off to you!
Hats off 📴
God. This poor man. Thank you for your bravery and speaking up, sharing your story. You have nothing to be ashamed of, and you're just as much of a man as any other. Much love. Good wife.
This poor poor man. I can’t even imagine the alienation he must feel.
I would have let the cancer take me. This man is incredibly brave and I wish him the absolute best.
That particular cancer is one of the worst ways to go. The tumor invades into the groin and lymph nodes, metastasizes to other parts of the body. The lesion becomes a horrifying mass in that area and sometimes autoamputates. Their genitals fall off.
My heart goes out to both of you. It takes a lot of strength to talk about something so deeply personal and painful. I admire you both for standing together through this with your marriage intact. Wishing you both the best.
Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you both and you are blessed to keep your marriage and your faith. Be strong and be together.
We love and respect you brother. You are blessed with a beautiful family. I am so sorry.
May God bless this man and wife wiith comfort and healing.
wow what a man. He is brave and definitely a man he's a real man. What a beautiful couple. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story thank you for setting an example and standing together.
God bless you give you strength and peace.
Craig you are an amazing human. I pray for your future. You deserve the best.
I admire the fact that you are sharing your story. Many people need what you have given them which is the strength to face our turmoil.
Your not alone
The way the doctors treated him (if you even want to call it that) is nothing short of medical abuse and malpractice. The sheer emotional and informational consent issue ALONE should have this man rolling in dough for the rest of his natural life. Utterly unacceptable.
Just curious why do you think it’s medical malpractice? I can’t make a judgment on that because I don’t have enough proof to know if they did the procedure correctly or not
The primary focus was on removing the cancer. It would have been a form of skin cancer, which can easily spread. It's interesting that he was given an epidural instead of a general anaesthetic, as that isn't normal; so it's reasonable to assume that he has other serious health issues which might limit what kind of reconstitution is possible.
It sounds like it wasn't spreading at all till they started poking around with it.
