Magesh, 35 years, was working as a coolie at Kancheepuram till he was diagnosed with cancer of the penis. He has a wife and 3 school-going children. He shifted to Chennai, for treatment. It all started with difficulty in passing urine. A circumcision operation was done after which he freely passed urine. 6 months later, metastasis of the cancer developed as a swelling in the left groin and began to grow rapidly. It became ulcerated and non-healing. In spite of chemotherapy, he had severe pain and swelling. The ulcer bled, especially on standing. Radiotherapy was not advised due to fear of aggravating the ulceration.
