137. Rise of the Phoenix - Meet Phoenix

Welcome to episode 14 of The Penis Project Podcast.   Today, we speak with Glenn.   Glenn was diagnosed with Testicular Cancer at the age of 32. That was three years ago. And fortunately, according to him, his life is now back to normal.   Glenn talks about his experience from the time symptoms appeared to that time when he decided to have his check-up (6 months after experiencing signs and symptoms), to eventually going through the operation, and to changing his perspective on life after everything that happened.   Glenn’s advice to anyone experiencing some symptoms?   ‘There’s nothing to be ashamed of, go see the doctor’. ;)   ------ Testicular Cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in young men between 18-35, affecting 1-2% of the population.

Welcome to episode 12 of The Penis Project Podcast. Today, we speak with Naomi. Naomi is a male to female trans woman. Please listen as she shares her story in a heartfelt, honest exchange. From overcoming her prostate cancer at 47, her challenges to becoming the woman she is now, and to advocating the importance of frequent PSA checks. We hope this interview will educate and assist more in reducing ignorance about trans folks and positively, ripple into respect. As Naomi said, "We're not weird, we're human beings - we have the right to live". We have tried to cover topics you have wanted to ask but didn’t think you could such as: experience of discrimination and acceptance, difference of crossdresser from transgender, being called queer, and saying goodbye to the penis.   Below are helpful links of the things mentioned in the podcast: Charlie Martin - the first trans to join the 24 Hour Le Mans competition.

The Movember Foundation runs the Movember charity event, housed at https://au.movember.com   Today we hear an extremely passionate Lina Scaffildi talk about the emotional impacts of her proud husband having to wear nappies (continence pads) following surgery for prostate cancer and how this made her realise how difficult this can be for men. You may have never considered it before but what does a man do with incontinence pads when out in public? Men’s toilets do not come with sanitary bins so what is a bloke to do??!!! Lina has championed this cause with Dr Jo and change is happening.

So in episode 8, Jo and Melissa speak with Parry. Parry is ex-military and has suffered with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for many years.
