Being away from home is stressful enough and while undergoing medical treatment, it can be incredibly isolating.

Last time we caught up with Vicky Phelan she had just arrived in Maryland to begin experimental treatment. For Vicky, that means six months away from her loved ones as well as the massive support network she has at home.

Unfortunately, an opportunistic hacker took advantage of Vicky's huge social media presence and held her account to ransom for a fee of $3000.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Vicky explained how an Irish connection helped her get the account back but why she won't be going back to using it.
