A Scots grandad's new symptom in the night was the first sign he had prostate cancer. John Culling was serving in the army when he started needing the toilet through the night on a skiing trip something he’d never needed to do before.
The 64-year-old put it down to age, but when it happened again on a trip as an army hill walking instructor, a medic with the group suggested he ask his GP to check his prostate.
John, who lives in Broughty Ferry with his wife Margaret, wasn't too concerned at first but subsequently he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer in 2019.
