"Something really interesting happened here actually. In the next couple of minutes Vice President Kamala Harris is actually going to be here having her second dose of the coronavirus vaccine so that's live on Twitter so I'm going to watch that here. Pity that it's in another part of the building. That's quite something to have day one of my new treatment on the same day as Vice President Kamala Harris being here getting her vaccine so I take that as a good sign."Since posting an update on her treatment Phelan has received hundreds of responses of support. Phelan's cancer was found to be becoming more aggressive last October as a new tumour in one of her lungs had developed. Last week she was tested to see if she would be suitable for this new type of cancer treatment and was deemed a suitable candidate.
