Vicky Phelan has undergone her fourth round of pioneering cancer treatment in the US and said her medication has been adjusted to reduce her risk of experiencing side effects. “The treatment went really well, I just had one drug today,” she said on Instagram. I have a quiet week ahead because I don’t plan on doing a huge amount on the week I have treatment. She said she loves International Women’s Day and always tries to highlight women’s achievements and needs on that day each year. I think the pandemic has really highlighted the huge burden of care that has landed on women’s laps again.
