The courageous Kilkenny native spoke to her friend and solicitor Cian O'Carroll for the first of a new series of podcasts about her legal battle and ongoing treatment in the US
Cervical cancer campaigner Vicky Phelan has admitted the letters she gets from people in Ireland help to get her through the long nights on her own as she undergoes treatment in the US.
Describing the support she's gotten as "phenomenal to be quite honest", the mum-of-two revealed she received 3,500 emails from well-wishers during her first month in Maryland, where she's undergoing a clinical trial that will hopefully prolong her life as she battles terminal cervical cancer.
Vicky said: "I’ve had three and a half thousand emails in the last month and obviously I can’t reply to them all, but I do read them all."
The courageous Kilkenny native spoke to her friend and solicitor Cian O'Carroll for the first of a new series of podcasts about her legal battle and ongoing treatment in the US called 'In Conversation with Vicky Phelan".
She said: "I would read a good few of those every day, particularly if I’m having a bad day.
