A young woman who thought she had an infection after noticing she was urinating more frequently has been stunned by her diagnosis of a very rare form of cancer.
Doctors told Georgina Parkinson, 23, she had vaginal cancer, of which there are only around 240 new cases diagnosed per year in the UK.
The graphic designer also noticed she was bleeding after sex and booked to see her GP, with the belief she had an infection or cyst. An MRI scan and a biopsy showed, though, the cancer, was already at stage three.
