Vicky travelled to the US last month to take part in an experimental cancer trial in Maryland
Last Tuesday, Vicky began to receive M7824 - which she described as Pembro 2.0 - for the first time in the US.
But the mum-of-two told how she was admitted to hospital on Valentine s Day after suffering two days of severe sickness.
The three 16 year olds are in Transition Year and they chose Childhood Cancer Foundation Ireland as the beneficiary because one of the team, Jack, was diagnosed with childhood leukaemia when he was three years old.
“I spent three and a half years going up and down to Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital Crumlin for chemotherapy and to say that life was not what every child would wish for during those years is an understatement.”
“However, with all the love, support and help of both the medical professionals and most importantly my family, friends and community, I am one of the lucky ones. I am now cancer free and have been discharged from all medical services for the last few years.”
