A John Lewis worker was injected with herpes to treat a "mystery cancer" that spread to her brain.
Mum-of-one Ann Johnston, 57, initially thought she'd pulled a muscle when she felt a lump in her groin after returning from her job at John Lewis, where she's worked for 17 years. For the nan from Kirkdale, this was the start of four years of hospital visits as growths popped up all over her body.
Ann said: "I was in work, one of my friends was in the fitting room and I picked her up because she slipped. When I got home that night, I found a lump in my groin and I thought I had a hernia. So I made an appointment with the doctor and she said it wasn't anything to do with muscles, so she sent me to the Royal [Liverpool Hospital], and when they checked it out, they found I had secondary cancer.
