Paul Mescal's mam gives positive health update ahead of Oscars ceremony amid cancer battle

Paul Mescal’s mam is determined to attend the Oscars this month with her son.

The mum of three is currently undergoing treatment for Multiple myeloma, which is a type of bone marrow cancer that often affects several areas of the body, such as the spine, skull, pelvis and ribs. According to Dearbhla, she found out that she had cancer last July after she attended Wimbledon with son Paul.

She told RTE's Ray D'Arcy Show on Monday: “I came home from Wimbledon with Paul and I had a scan after work on the Tuesday. On the Thursday, they found tumours. The pain had been in my right shoulder.”
