A mum-of-two who went to the GP after experiencing dizziness whenever she sat down and noticing a lump in her genital area was told she had stage 3 vaginal cancer. She is now urging others not to be embarrassed to ask their doctor for an examination.
During the second covid lockdown Kathy Morse, then 52, from Walkden, Salford, started to experience a strange dizziness only when she sat down. She attended the GP and underwent several tests but doctors didn’t find anything out of the ordinary.
Several weeks later Kathy noticed a lump on her vaginal area and put her embarrassment about seeing a doctor aside to ask for an examination. In December 2020 a biopsy revealed she had extremely rare vaginal cancer, an often aggressive form of the disease that affects just 250 women in the UK each year, MEN reports.
