'There'll be tears' — Vicky Phelan to return home after a difficult six months

The activist said her current spell of treatment has been the most difficult part of her cancer journey so far. 

Though she's been on the other side of the Atlantic for half a year, Vicky Phelan said support from home has helped her to keep going. She returns home to see her family next week.

Activist Vicky Phelan says she is like "a child waiting for Santa" in her excitement to get home to Ireland and see her family next week.  

After six months in the US undergoing intensive pioneering treatment, Ms Phelan said "there will be tears" when she gets home.
