Cervical cancer campaigner Vicky Phelan has received a full dose of the drug M784 in her US medical treatment and says her reaction to this could determine whether she gets home in Ireland to see her children in July.

Phelan, who is undergoing a one-year cancer trial in Maryland for her cervical cancer, said she had not received a full dose since her initial treatment earlier this year and is unsure how her body will react to the medication.
