My dad is 61 and was just diagnosed with bladder cancer I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. Should we consider surgery or would chemo be a better option for him?

It's understandable to be worried when a loved one is diagnosed with cancer. The best approach for your dad's bladder cancer will depend on the specific stage, grade, and type of cancer, as well as his overall health. Both surgery and chemotherapy can be effective treatment options, and the choice will depend on a variety of factors that your doctor will discuss with you.

I'm a bit confused and worried about having an uncircumcised penis. Is there anything I should be considering if I want to get circumcised, or is there any issue with remaining uncircumcised? I've included a photo that resembles mine. Could you provide some advice?
