A woman was diagnosed with stage three vulval cancer - after thinking she just had a bad case of thrush.

Pippa Sharp, 49, found she was experiencing recurring thrush in August 2022 - causing a sore, hard spot on her left labia.

She was prescribed antibiotics by her GP - but four days later, realised the spot wasn’t going away - and tests soon revealed that she had the rare form of cancer.
