'I had symptoms for six months before I realised I had cancer of the penis' - father aims to raise awareness
Briefly

Cormac France, a 57-year-old father from Kildare, faced a shocking diagnosis of penile cancer despite living a fit and healthy lifestyle. This rare condition only affects 60 men annually in Ireland. France’s experience emphasizes that adopting healthy habits, such as not smoking and staying active, does not eliminate the risk of developing cancer. His story serves as a potent reminder of the need for awareness regarding rare cancers and the warning signs associated with them.
"I'm a very fit and active person. I used to do a lot of training. Because I don't smoke I didn't think I would be a candidate to get cancer, never mind penile cancer, which is rarer again."
"Being diagnosed with penile cancer was a shock. I lived a healthy lifestyle, and I never expected this disease to affect me."
