Cervical cancer campaigner Vicky Phelan was admitted to hospital for a few hours after she had an adverse reaction to the fourth round of her immunotherapy trial in the US.

Phelan, who travelled to Maryland in January to take part in a pioneering cancer treatment had had her medication adjusted this week to reduce her risk of experiencing side effects. She is now receiving half the amount of one drug that caused extreme nausea, making her “violently sick”, last month.
