CervicalCheck campaigner Vicky Phelan has revealed she was in hospice care after suffering complications from her radiotherapy treatment.

Ms Phelan, who has terminal cancer, returned to Ireland for palliative treatment late last year after undergoing clinical trials in the United States. She has documented her treatment on social media but today says she is stepping back to focus on spending time with her family and friends.
