When Alastair Munro noticed a small lump on his penis was starting to get bigger he suspected he was dealing with something serious.
He put off going to the doctor for about six weeks but as soon as the GP saw him he was told it was likely to be cancer.
"It was quite a bold thing to say," Alastair, 49, said. "I was shocked. He couldn't say 100% but he thought it was cancer.
"A week later the urologist at Raigmore said the same thing. Then it was just the case of getting a biopsy."
Three months after first noticing the lump, Alastair, a construction engineer from Inverness, received confirmation that it was penile cancer - a rare condition that only affects 80 to 90 men a year in Scotland and 700 across the UK.
