"I'm going to go and dream and fantasise about having a coffee." Vicky Phelan took a few moments today to update her followers on her progress as she waited for staff to call her for a procedure. 

"Good morning, everyone," she began. "I'm here on Tuesday again just to get bloods done. And for a Covid test actually. Obviously I do not have Covid - well, nobody told me but I assume I don't because I'm back here today and then Thursday for a biopsy."
