Description

 
Jason was diagnosed with bone cancer in November last year, at the age of 34.  
 
First thought to be caused by baby hernia, the massive pain in Jason’s groin was actually due to a large lump over his pelvic bone that was protruding inwards. After a visit to a radiologist who referred him to a doctor and a series of MRI scans and biopsies, Jason received news he never expected.  
 
Much the same with everyone receiving news like this, Jason didn’t understand one bit. So, he mustered up his courage and talked to his doctor. He then met with the team who will handle his operation, Dr Charlie Gardener. With this first meeting, Jason felt safe. Here he learned about the procedure to be done, which is THE first here in Australia, and the dreadful possibility of losing limb.  
 
We can say that the 10-hr operation was a success, but the recovery was difficult. Albeit difficult, Jason says what happened changed him for the better.  
 
From his diagnosis to his account of how extensive his surgery was - imagine amputation and hip repair, to regaining strength through biking, to losing 4 cms (of you know what) and gaining it back, make sure to buckle up with a few tissues on hand. Jason will take us on an amazing ride that’s a first here in the P*nis Project podcast.  
 
As for Jason’s sexual health, it’s a work in progress. Or say, a comeback in progress.

Welcome to The Penis Project Podcast. Connecting men through science, stories, solutions but most of all support. Founded by Melissa Hadley Barrett & Dr Jo Milios (PHD), this podcast is dedicated to stories from men who have bravely recognised the importance of sharing their experiences, breaking down stigmas, and having no-filter chats about sexual health, cancer treatment and recovery, relationships and everything in between. This is your online men’s health support group where I answer questions you’ve always had but are too embarrassed to ask. https://melissahadleybarrett.com/podcast/
