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.

[@molly4193]

Any surgeon watching this wherever you are in the world, please please help this couple.

[@watsonwrote]

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.

[@GLRWIN]

I had a total hysterectomy at a young age. I was devastated knowing I could never have children. I went through the change of life. It took time for the doctor to find the right estrogen and dose for me. I couldn't take the depression, etc anymore, and was planning to take my own life. Then I felt God's sweet Holy Spirit come on me and comfort me. Then I knew God had a reason for me to live. Thank God for His love and mercy, and giving me a reason to live!

[@dizzydaydream9647]

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 🙏

[@tonyhanley9458]

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.

[@ashleymarie5093]

❤ 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.

[@annemariewilliams180]

I have so much respect for this man. This isn't a subject many man would be able to discuss. It's probably a very lonely experience. By doing this interview he is helping so many men all over the world by making them just a little bit less alone in their struggles. I don't know if he will ever read this, but please know- you are a man, that surgery didn't change it. You have an inner strength that few people have by being vulnerable and talking about your struggles and what you have gone through.

[@mo5934]

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.

[@jensmiley5554]

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.

I know a man who had penile cancer recently. I also know a man who lost both testicles due to malpractice, every dr. know kept saying it was all in his head then they put him on every antibiotic in the book. It ended up being cancer and it was too late to freeze anything and he lost them both.

[@d2kids4me]

You arre one of the strongest men I've ever seen. And your wife is an amazing person. I too had cancer & have pretty much no female parts myself. The fear & pain are so hard to deal with. You take your time & do what's right for you when you're ready to do it & I'm sure your wife will support you the whole way. May God bless you both.

[@wrayewenigmann3696]

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

[@hunterw3866]

A true man has this kind of bravery to tell his story about a topic so sensitive.

[@mariabeverly8263]

What a True Power Couple! Love it! ❤👍🏽

[@VeroDeLaPointe]

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.

[@StarkJerk]

What a brave man, so many men will be saved hearing his story. He’s not less masculine, less of a person, he’s a warrior.

[@thatroverguy1937]

This man needs a petition, what a terrible story, and what a real man he is, came through all this and strong enough to share his story, absolute hero

[@shawngross5420]

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.

[@vmelchers]

Thank you for this raw testimony showing real people going through hard things. I wish you all the best on your recovery. Thank you for educating us

[@nanedivalles9869]

Amazing strength and bravery in sharing your story. You are a couple that truly inspires.

[@shaunhandley3050]

What a man! I found this a really hard watch so i could never imagine having to live everyday with this. You sir are a real man and dont ever think your anything less.

[@scottishsoldiernew5326]

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.

[@theblackfirewitch5509]

Youre not disgusting. Youre not less of a man. Im so glad your wife is so supportive of you. Youre a survivor and very strong man.

[@EC-gy9pv]

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. ❤❤❤

[@sugar-free-2centz]

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.

[@simplyme_xoxo4465]

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

[@Mjbeswick]

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.

[@psisky]

It sounds like it wasn't spreading at all till they started poking around with it.

[@Da_bear-ij9gm]

@@psiskythat doesn’t sound typical of skin cancer really. I’d doubt it
