Laura Christie hopes to raise awareness of vulval cancer, which claimed the life of her mother.
The vulval cancer which claimed the life of the 71-year-old from Aberdeen is only diagnosed in just over 100 women in Scotland every year."Nobody likes speaking about their nether regions do they, let alone having to go to a doctor and show them, but don't be embarrassed if you see any changes you've got to go," she said.She was told she had vulval cancer in January and died in July.
Her daughter fears a lack of information and possible embarrassment are putting women's lives at risk.
